About This Audiobook
Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars is Patrick Lencioni's diagnostic and prescriptive treatment of organizational fragmentation — the departmental barriers that create internal competition where cooperation is needed. Told through the frame of a fictional consultant named Jude Cousins, the book makes its argument through story before distilling it into principle: silos form when leaders prioritize their own domains over the collective mission, and they dissolve when a shared thematic goal replaces competing priorities.
Eric Conger narrates the leadership fable format that Lencioni made his signature — accessible, practical, and designed to be useful rather than merely read. His delivery suits both the narrative sections and the concluding model presentation. At just over three and a half hours the audiobook is among the most efficiently constructed entries in the Lencioni catalog.
