Resumen del Editor

"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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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)

Leadership said read it and I loved it

I like the storytelling aspect of the book. silos are tough to address in any leadership role and this gives you a bit of an edge.

Another great one!

Thank you Pat! Always appreciate your practical insight! Learned so much! Thank you for what you do!

Great Book, Very Worthwhile...

I've listed to this 3 times and review it quite frequently. Has been relevant to my business relationships.

Great book on a relevant topic!

Patrick does another find job of laying out the context of this story and helping the listener to understand his business theory. after 30 years in the banking industry I feel that Patrick hit many of the nails directly square on the head. And offers a plausible remedy for addressing the issues discussed. Now to put them into practice!

Fantastic!

Another Lencioni masterpiece. I couldn't have been more pleased with the story and the strategy to overcome the silos! I really appreciate the clarity and simplicity he brings to these issues.

I enjoyed the allegory it was well told and help

this was the first book I listened to by this author and I am looking forward to enjoying the next.

Fits Every Situation

This book was great. It moves along at a good pace but really illustrates many points. All of Patrick Lencioni's books are great learning tools.

All leaders should read this

I was expecting "vulnerability" to be the answer again in this one, like in several of his other books, but was happy to see the approach was different. I won't spoil the main point here as it's best understood through the story.
"Death by Meeting" and "Five disfunctions of a team" goes well with this book. "Good to great" by Jim Collins can supplement as proof of the importance of the ideas presented.

Engaging and overtly informative

Exactly what I needed to read before starting the new year at work. I have a play by play book of better analyzing my organization and self!

Business Turf Wars

And business type can imply the idea of progress from Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars. The great insight of overall goals into breakdown into objectives into metrics of obtaining goals.
