Publisher's Summary

"Silos" are organizations' vertical structures—but the word has become synonymous with barriers to workplace effectiveness and connotes deep political infighting. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals. They cause stress, exasperation, and disappointment by forcing employees to fight bloody, unwinnable battles with people who should be teammates.

Like his other fables, SILOS, POLITICS, AND TURF WARS is fiction in realistic form, involving not one, but three organizations, all struggling to eliminate their silos and bridge a sense of alignment back in place.

Critic Reviews

Audie Award Finalist, Business Information/Education, 2007

"Lencioni's proposal is so full of common sense...that managers will be eager to apply it themselves. Just as refreshing is Lencioni's use of character and plot, which is far above average for the business genre." (Publishers Weekly)

The biggest issues faced by corporate workers

The biggest issues stopping a large company from excelling at their strategic goals - Silos, Politics and Turf Wars. Just as true today as when it was written. Narrated by the author - so you know he speaks with authority and passion on the subject. Having experienced all three of these issues in my own corporate experiences, I found this work entertaining as well as informative and deeply relevant.
