  • Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars
    Written By Patrick Lencioni, Eric Conger, Macmillan Audio
    Narrated by Eric Conger
    "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.

Publisher's Summary

You've just been promoted to a new leadership position. You're not yet sure of the challenges ahead or how you will meet them. All you know is that you have three months to get on top of the job and move forward, or fail.

This audiobook is your road map for taking charge quickly and effectively during critical career transition periods, whether you're a first-time manager or a new CEO. Written by noted leadership transition expert Michael Watkins, The First 90 Days outlines proven strategies that will dramatically shorten the time it takes to reach what Watkins calls the "breakeven point": the point at which your organization needs you as much as you need the job.

Whether you are charged with launching a start-up, leading a turnaround, orchestrating a realignment, or sustaining a high-performing unit, The First 90 Days will help you to develop a transition acceleration plan that is tailored to your situation, your level of seniority and expertise, and the condition of your organization.

Refuting the pervasive belief that new leaders should be left to "sink or swim", here is a proactive planning approach that can make your career and ensure your organization's future.

    "PDFs"
    By Jens (Howell, MI, USA) May 6, 2007
    In response to the prior reviewer's comments about the book's referenced PDFs not being available, he neglects to point out that at numerous points during the listening they give you the specific website to go to to obtain the PDFs.

    I received mine w/o problem.

    "A Must Read & Re-Read"
    By Eric (Macomb Twp , MI, USA) Feb 7, 2008
    This is a solid companion to the Leadership Pipeline(Charan -2001).

    As a leadership development professional this compelling book provides primary, actionable strategies for new leaders and those transitioning in all organizations.

    This is must (listen) read and re-read that all leaders need to keep in their professional library.

    "Ahmed Helmy"
    By Ahmed (alexandriaEgypt) Mar 23, 2009
    The Narrator is very boring. I have heard the 5th discipline, the narator tone interacts with the situation. The Narrator here is using the same tone

    "Definately written more for Senior Executives"
    By Stephen (Fayetteville, AR, USA) Mar 20, 2010
    I am not a senior executive, thus just got a few nuggets (my desire is to get many nuggets when I purchase a book) which I value but it leaned heavily, with great detail about Sr Executives going into certain situations like: take overs, sustainability, etc.

    "Dry but Good"
    By Tom (Westford, MA, USA) Sep 4, 2007
    Content of the book is useful but the reader is tough to listen to. He has a monotone voice which makes it hard to pay attention. However, it's worth the pain if you haven't been through a senior level transition.
