For example some have more emphasis on the societal hierarchy,
some expect certain levels of deference due to age or position,
others have expectations on how you challenge people, or
the effects of saying "no" or other negative things.
I guess my point was: there is an interesting opportunity to "abstract" the location. There are both advantages and disadvantages to it. But if you can "leverage" this (new) work paradigm while at the same time "manage" its disadvantages (if you don't care you won't see too many eyeballs per-se, and can express yourself through emails, etc), then you've got yourself an interesting competitive advantage: you've just increased your talent pool 10 fold. But if your org is too bureaucratic, focus more on hierarchy, age, color of carpet under your desk, etc. than on the work to be done, well, too bad. I'm not saying abstracting physical location is easy. I say it's an interesting/unique opportunity with huge potential (and challenges). If it were eazy, everyone would have done it already. But we're definitely moving in this direction, in my opinion (e-commerce, e-mail, e-chat, e-whatever ... all abstracting physical location, moving photons instead of moving atoms - cheaper).
