Answer this question honestly : would your employees feel that it is in their best interest to learn new things and teach them to the company ? Having a learning-oriented company can only happen if people are aligned, and if making the company smarter makes sense to them. Most of the time it is the contrary and what makes sense is the status quo and protecting long-earned corporate political capitals. This is the root that you need to address, the rest will follow. On another note, I'd be concerned that your junior devs don't like coding. It's a very bad sign. The best senior software managers still insist to have control on the design and the architecture. Bill Gates remained the chief engineer and architect for a reason. Your folks won't be good software managers if they are not passionate about writing good softwares and continuously improving their practice. I think you should replace them.
