Seeing is believing, and I have never seen it working. Any tendency of a workplace to be democratic usually ends up with people squabbling about what the proper way to use the coffee machine is and scapegoating over completely futile things, and so, I concluded that people are not at all capable of working "together" this way. What is always needed in my opinion is a firm, competent and benevolent leadership.
