Cross-silo leadership: Why leaders must break down the culture of silos in their organisation (2) vanguardnews
SILOS are the nightmare of every leader whose goal is to align members of their organisation to the visions of their companies. As a leader, breaking silo barriers should be one of your primary goals, one that is unending if you continue to steer the ship. Your success in this will influence the long-term success of your company and there is no better time to start than now.
The workplace is not an arena for hierarchical display of power and authority to intimidate others but a place where ideas are conceived, executed and shared; a place where intelligent conversations take place for a common mission. When silo formations are not demolished and cross-silos installed on time, they can disrupt the company’s vision, derail its focus, and threaten its very existence.
Once the effects of silo-barriers are identified, the next step is to break them and focus on building pathways that supply unrestricted flow of beneficial information and resources that enhance the company’s productivity and growth. So, here are the ways that leaders can create and maintain effective communication, break down silos, and create formidable cross-silos within their organisations:This is the first step to breaking every silo-inspired work environment.
Lunch meetings, special treats, team retreats, hangouts, and other fun activities that relieve the tension in the workplace should be introduced to encourage cross-silo behaviour across the organization. Encourage leadership participation: sometimes, silo formation starts from the leadership team. When leaders exhibit a silo mentality, it is mirrored in the people they lead.
