Silos, Politics and Turf Wars: A Leadership Fable About Destroying the Barriers That Turn Colleagues Into Competitors

In yet another page-turner, New York Times best-sellingauthor and acclaimed management expert Patrick Lencioni addressesthe costly and maddening issue of silos, the barriers that createorganizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, killproductivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize theachievement of corporate goals.

As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, andTurf Wars as a fictional—but eerilyrealistic—story. The story is about Jude Cousins, an eageryoung management consultant struggling to launch his practice bysolving one of the more universal and frustrating problems faced byhis clients. Through trial and error, he develops a simple yetground-breaking approach for helping them transform confusion andinfighting into clarity and alignment.
