Silos, Politics, and Turf WarsNovember 22, 2008 This was by far the best Lencioni book that I have read. Twice I took the training course of "5 Dysfuncions of a Team" with all the reading and interaction with my fellow team members, but the lessons learned in Silos was more revealing as to how an organization should become unified and focused. Each department of an institution should complement the vision and direction, which will bring strength and benefits to all. The book was helpful to seeing those needs and correcting them.
Enjoyable Read on a corporate killerNovember 15, 2008 I have enjoyed all of Mr. Lencioni's books as they are wonderfully entertaining and enjoyable air plane reads. However, this is the one I've shared most in that it exists in most every company and it allows the reader to see it in a non-threatening way. Read it and share it across the organization and up the leadership chain. If you haven't read any of Mr. Lencioni's business fables, start now and let the fun begin .
Nice Little ReadSeptember 10, 2008 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!September 3, 2008 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.
