The Silo Effect: The Peril of Expertise and the Promise of Breaking Down Barriers - Tapa blanda

"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

"The Silo Effect comes across in print much as Tett comes across in person--sharp, insightful, and concise. And the book, which is informed as much by her training as an academic anthropologist as by her experience covering the global financial crisis, is an excellent attempt to help both organizations and individuals figure out how to harness the benefits of specialization without creating tunnel vision."--Strategy+Business

"'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
