Reviews
"...full of common sense...memorable" ( Publishers Weekly , January 30, 2006) "...an excellent book that nearly everyone will identify with and benefit from..." (Personnel Today, May 2006) "... an engaging, simplistic read, and one that reinforced many impressions about the 'problems within' and strategies to solve them." ( The British Journal Of Administrative Management, February/March 07) "...if your business experiences politics... this book may be for you." ( EN, the magazine for entrepreneurs , January 2008), Marketing won't speak to engineering. Sales thinks production hogs the budget. Front desk believes back room's lazy. These sorts of turf wars, which turn outwardly unified companies into groupings of uncommunicative "silos," are the stuff of management lore. According to bestselling author Lencioni ( The Five Dysfunctions of a Team ), "they waste resources, kill productivity and jeopardize the achievement of goals"--they also drive workers into tizzies of frustration. Like his previous books, Lencioni's latest addresses the management problem through a fictional story; this one revolves around a self-employed consultant named Jude, who has to dismantle silos at an upscale hotel, a technology company and a hospital. Split into two sections, Lencioni's book first shows Jude discovering a solution to silos, then summarizes Jude's lessons into a strategy that readers can apply to any business. Lencioni's proposal is so full of common sense--namely, end turf wars by getting departments to rally around a common goal--that managers will be eager to apply it themselves. Just as refreshing is Lencioni's use of character and plot, which is far above average for the business genre. As sympathetic as Jude is, he makes Lencioni's management lessons memorable. (Mar.)

Synopsis
Practical and hands-on strategies for breaking down silos and minimizing workplace politics 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 familiar--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. In the book, you'll find: Ways to recognize the devastating-and destructive-power of silos How to create an overarching thematic goal or rallying cry for your organization Strategies for employees to avoid the confusion that often accompanies working in matrix organizations Perfect for executives, managers, and other business leaders, Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars will also earn a place in the libraries of consultants and other professionals who serve organizations of all sizes., 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.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAbsolutely EXCEPTIONAL packing from this seller! Usually sellers drop a big paperback book into a plastic mailer to slip and slide on its journey through the mail. This seller secured the book to cardboard, then secured the outer mailer to that stiffness, so there was NO danger of movement (corners being bumped, book bent, etc.). Fantastic price on obscure Sunset book (no others listed on eBay except one in a big expensive lot). Exactly as pictured. Fast shipping. VERY happy! Thank you.
