‘There are so many silo’s in our business – we don’t seem to get anything done. We spend all of our time working around people instead of just getting the job done’
Does this sound familiar?
I was recently asked by an MD of a large manufacturing business to help them ‘with their teamwork’. When he mentioned the dreaded word ‘silo’ and ‘negative culture’ in the same sentence, I could see that the people dynamic of his business had become difficult to manage and inefficient – hardly what he expected when he started growing the business 3 years before.
