Overview of The Silo Effect: Why Putting Everything in its Place isn't Such a Bright Idea Book

The brilliant and insightful new book from Gillian Tett, author of the bestselling Fool's Gold Longlisted for the 2016 The Orwell Prize 'A profound idea, richly analyzed' - Wall Street Journal Europe 'Highly intelligent, enjoyable and enlivened by a string of vivid case studies. It is also genuinely important... her prescription for curing the pathological silo-isation of business and government is refreshingly unorthodox and, in my view, convincing' -Felix Martin, Financial Times 'This is not just a business book' - The Economist Ever since civilized society began, we have felt the need to classify, categories and specialize. It can make things more efficient and help give the leaders of any organization a sense of confidence that they have the right people focusing on the right tasks. But it can also be catastrophic, leading to tunnel vision and tribalism. Most importantly it can create a structural fog, with the full picture of where an organization is heading hidden from view. It is incredibly widespread: the chances are these 'silos' are rife in any organization or profession, whether your business or your local school or hospital. Across industries and cultures, as this brilliant and penetrating book shows, silos have the power to collapse companies and destabilize financial markets, yet they still dominate the workplace.
