Are You Coaching Or Working In A Silo? 6/7/12

In business the term silo is often used to describe a mind-set when certain departments or sectors do not wish to share information with others in the same company. This type of mentality reduces the efficiency of the overall operation, reduces morale, and may contribute to the demise of a productive company culture. In coaching we use the term to describe a client who is unable to see the possibilities outside of their existing environment. But as coaches, are we sometimes also working in a silo environment that we have created for ourselves? Listen as Doug Gfeller, MCC talks about silos in business and coaching and questions if it is possible to work without silos at all.
