Honestly, isn't the crux of the problem? Even if you are a superstar, you'll still get typecasted as smart-but-lazy and find yourself on the outside. Generally speaking, this is an organizational problem.

Lots of company have flex time so people can choose their hours but have some overlap for communications. This is also where the "mid day meeting rush" comes from that exacerbates the situation.

I'm used to working in geographically separated teams in different timezones, so starting my day 2 hours ahead of everyone else is no different than me working in a different timezone. Once you solve this problem, you have solved the majority of your communication difficulties.
