Editor's Note: This is the first in a series we're running in conjunction with our friends at Fortune. Called "Fit for Human Beings," the posts will explore what it takes to create organizations that are as resilient, inventive, inspiring, and accountable as the people who work inside of them--with reports from the progressive thinkers and adventuresome practitioners actively wrestling with that question.
