The Silo Effect: The Peril of Expertise and the Promise of Breaking Down Barriers by Gillian Tett.

“A complex topic and lively writing make this an enjoyable call to action for better integration within organizations.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Highly intelligent, enjoyable and enlivened by a string of vivid case studies. It is also genuinely important, because her prescription for curing the pathological silo-isation of business and government is refreshingly unorthodox and, in my view, convincing.” (Financial Times)

"In “The Silo Effect” she applies her anthropologist’s lens to the problem of why so many organizations still suffer from a failure to communicate. It’s a profound idea, richly analyzed." (The Wall Street Journal)

"’Silo’ has become a cliché among management consultants—and executives trying to hang onto their jobs by speaking the language of the au courant—but Tett gives the metaphor life in her engaging, case-study-filled new book.” (New York Post)
