A Class-Leading Example
36
“A Team-Based, Flat Lattice
Organization”
“How we work at Gore sets us apart. Since Bill Gore
founded the company in 1958, Gore has been a team-
based, ﬂat lattice organization that fosters personal
initiative. There are no traditional organizational
charts, no chains of command, nor predetermined
channels of communication.
Instead, we communicate directly with each other and
are accountable to fellow members of our multi-
disciplined teams. We encourage hands-on
innovation, involving those closest to a project in
decision making. Teams organize around
opportunities and leaders emerge. This unique kind
of corporate structure has proven to be a signiﬁcant
contributor to associate satisfaction and retention.”
Key stats for W.L Gore:
10,197 employees
$3.2B revenue (2013)
