highly recommended

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 organizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals.

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

Brilliant and Well Told

This book provides solid practices and actions to identify and remove silos in organizations. It's filled with do-able actions in a context that gives examples and great team discussions.

Good book, good strategies

Mr. Lencioni has captured the essense of corporate politics and create a compelling tale to explain strategies to reduce its impact on an organization. This book is definitely worth the few hours it takes to read.

Simple, Useful and Direct View of a Common Business Issue

In "Silos, Politics and Turf Wars," Patrick Lencioni uses his lesson-as-fable template to address the common, and challenging, issue of organizational silos. Written in an engaging and no-nonsense style, this book highlights the challenges posed by organizational silos...and the politics and turf wars that are often associated with such silos.

Beyond the easy-to-read style of this book, I appreciate Lencioni's section on "The Model," in which the salient managerial points put forth in the book are called out in a specific and tangible manner.

Nice Little Read

Certainly not the bible for anything, but I like the fact that this was a real scenario rather then a "by the numbers" type exercise. You can breeze through this in one sitting.

Silos...That's the Problem!

What a great book on what actually happens in the corporate world. As a corporte director for a fortune 500 company, I find these "silos" at every turn. And once I recognize it, my interface with these departments take a different tactic from the normal interactions with "normal" groups. Indeed, this book solidified my viewpoint on staking out claims to certain areas and have help me to get beyond the hurdles they represent.

I applaud the author for his insight and deep understanding of this annoying yet critical topic. I also appreciated that a large part of the book was in "story style", that is a good story creates images and for us Adult Learners, we need that extra help. Michael L.
