Silos, Politics and Turf Wars

Practical and hands-on strategies for breaking down silos and minimising workplace politics

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 organisational politics. Silos devastate organisations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardise the achievement of corporate goals.

As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars as a fictional—but eerily familiar—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.

In the book, you’ll find:

• Ways to recognise the devastating–and destructive–power of silos
• How to create an overarching thematic goal or rallying cry for your organisation
• Strategies for employees to avoid the confusion that often accompanies working in matrix organisations

Perfect for executives, managers, and other business leaders, Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars will also earn a place in the libraries of consultants and other professionals who serve organisations of all sizes.
