Part of the challenge in doing so is that there are few pre-existing models of democratic workplaces. The great-granddaddy of them all is Semco, based in Brazil, which is run by Ricardo Semler. Semler has written two phenomenal books, Maverick, and The Seven Day Weekend (which every new hire gets at EduRev).

I totally agree that learning is what you actually DO. That’s exactly what we’ve been preaching at InnerWorkings for several years. You don’t become a truly skilled developer by sitting at the back of a classroom passively absorbing programming concepts and theoretical knowledge like some sort of brain sponge. You must get “engaged”, apply your knowledge, and learn by doing. That’s why our product (shameless plug for the free trial) hustles developers into Visual Studio, sets real coding challenges, and asks them to learn by writing code and getting insight through direct feedback. The InnerWorkings code checking engine makes all that happen, but the underlying principle (on which we founded the company) is very clear: we want to transform how software developers learn; we want them to learn by doing.
