The “No Silo” Rule

THE “NO SILO” RULE

LEARN THE RULE USED BY ELON MUSK TO OPTIMIZE RESULTS, PRODUCTIVITY, AND TEAMWORK

ABOUT THIS BOOK

It is easy to find numerous cases of very ingenious companies with incredible products that failed to catch up with market trends and eventually went out of business. These companies imploded from within as a result of mismanagement by management, a culture based on internal rivalry between different departments and fear among their hierarchies.

These businesses were too compartmentalized or, to put it another way, they were organized as silos.

Managers and business leaders must ensure that information is shared among all departments and that communication procedures are executed smoothly. When all departments participate in decision making and employ their resources on shared goals, a company performs better and breaks down silo boundaries.

Observing companies that follow the no-silo rule, such as Tesla and Apple, teaches us a lot. To enhance creativity and innovation, we must learn from these great companies and follow that same rule. When people from diverse backgrounds collaborate, they have more opportunities to come up with creative solutions to any problem.

In the long run, it is preferable to build bridges rather than walls.
