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 (\u003ci\u003eThe Five Dysfunctions of a Team\u003c\/i\u003e), \"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. \u003ci\u003e(Mar.)\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, January 30, 2006)  \u003cp\u003e\"...an excellent book that nearly everyone will identify with and benefit from...\" \u003ci\u003e(Personnel Today, May 2006)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"... an engaging, simplistic read, and one that reinforced many impressions about the ‘problems within’ and strategies to solve them.” (\u003ci\u003eThe British Journal Of Administrative Management\u003c\/i\u003e, February\/March 07)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"...if your business experiences politics... this book may be for you.\"  (\u003ci\u003eEN, the magazine for entrepreneurs\u003c\/i\u003e, January 2008)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical and hands-on strategies for breaking down silos and minimizing workplace politics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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.
