"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, & 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.

      This is well-textured success story explains how organizations can use a collective operational vision to overcome pride, greed, and tribalism. The heart of this operational vision--four defining objectives articulated in a series of encounter meetings--is implemented humbly but persistently by the story's consultant hero. The four defining objectives are (1) a three-to-twelve month thematic goal, (2) a set of defining objectives, (3) some standard operating objectives, and (4) a realistic set of metrics. Empathetic connections among departments are reinforced through respectful and honest meetings regularly. Both the storytelling and value of these recommendations make this an exceptional resource for leaders in many types of dysfunctional organizations. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
