THE SILO EFFECT The Peril of Expertise and the Promise of Breaking Down Barriers

In an assured tone, narrator Fiona Hardingham keys listeners into the author's persuasive arguments and striking observations about the implications of mental silos on business and innovation. Trained as an anthropologist, Tett looks at the silo phenomenon through an atypical lens, considering both causes and consequences, as well as potential solutions. Hardinham's crisp British accent and clear enunciation are a good fit for the many case studies that are grounded in narrative. She effectively guides the listener with well-placed inflections and careful pacing. A provocative listen for those interested in organizational behavior.
