Silos, Politics and Turf Wars:

A Leadership Fable About Destroying the Barriers That Turn Colleagues Into Competitors
Front Cover
75 Reviews
John Wiley & Sons, Feb 2, 2006 - Business & Economics - 224 pages
In yet another page-turner, New York Times best-selling author and acclaimed management expert Patrick Lencioni addresses the costly and maddening issue of silos, the barriers that create organizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals.

As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars as a fictional—but eerily realistic—story. The story is about Jude Cousins, an eager young management consultant struggling to launch his practice by solving one of the more universal and frustrating problems faced by his clients. Through trial and error, he develops a simple yet ground-breaking approach for helping them transform confusion and infighting into clarity and alignment.

Review: Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars: A Leadership Fable about Destroying the Barriers That Turn Colleagues Into Competitors

User Review  - Blake Kanewischer - Goodreads

This book highlights silos and how to break them--by focusing on one goal, four or five outcomes, and four or five operational indicators. It's a bit simplistic, but still worth the read. Read full review
