Silos, Politics and Turf Wars [HARDCOVER] [RARE BOOKS]

Lencioni's fifth "fable" and sixth book to date offers solutions to a key leadership issue: the impact of turf wars and political infighting on organizational effectiveness. "Silos" are an organization's vertical structures, but the word has become synonymous with barriers to workplace effectiveness and connotes deep political conflict. 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 unwinnable battles with people who should be teammates. Like his other fables, this book is written in the form of a realistic but fictional story. Unlike those books, however, it involves not one but three organizations, all struggling to eliminate their silos and bring a sense of alignment back into place.
