Silo mentality refers to a mindset present when sectors or departments are not willing to freely share information with other members in the same organization. It is not a coincidence that most organizations are constantly faced with interdepartmental turf wars. More often than not, silos come about because of a conflicted leadership team. The best way of getting rid of the negative competition within the members of an organization is through creating a unified vision and encouraging the employees to work towards achieving a common goal. This would, however, necessitate that the team identifies the underlying root problems, which may be causing the ripple effect of the silos.
