Tiptoeing Over Turf Wars

The concept of “Silos” (vertical structures within organisations) has become synonymous with barriers to workplace effectiveness and deep political conflict. Silos devastate organisations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardise the achievement of corporate goals.

They cause stress, exasperation, and disappointment by forcing employees to fight unwinnable battles with people who should be teammates.

Like Patrick Lencioni’s other successful books, this one tackles a tough business issue in both an entertaining and instructive way. Unlike his other titles, however, this book focuses on not one but four organisations — two universities, a hospital, and a church — all struggling to eliminate their silos and bring a sense of alignment back into place.
