A big difference between an open, learning environment at work and the one we experienced in elementary school is that in school, the teacher knows the answers but shows students how to do the work to arrive at the answer on their own. In business, especially when you’re working on the cutting edge of technology, you’re not looking for an answer that someone else already knows. The business and its employees must find answers to questions that have not been asked before. But an open, learning environment provides the way to find those elusive answers.
