520 8  W. L. Gore & Associates, established in 1958, is renowned 
       for several innovative products such as the "waterproof 
       while breathing" textile material Gore-Tex, but it is also
       known for its remarkable "lattice" organizational 
       structure. Borrowing the lattice concept from architecture
       and crafts, where it refers to intertwined materials, the 
       company operates as a system of intertwined associates in 
       which no one is anyone's boss. The various activities 
       within the company have leaders who are selected based on 
       their merits and abilities to attract followers. As a 
       company with more than 10,000 employees, Gore does have 
       the equivalent of a chief executive officer who may be 
       contacted by partners and others outside the company, but 
       in recent history, even this person has been selected from
       among staff.
