Abstract :
"I would never have got this job in a normal hierarchical company," says John Housego as I tuck his business card into my wallet. I discover as I glance at it that the unconventionality I??ve heard so much about is not just surface quirkiness. It??s a way of life. In a conventional business, Housego would be called the managing director or CEO, but here at WL??Gore, employees ?? or `associates?? ?? don??t have job titles. His card reads ??John Housego ?? passionate champion??.
