When departments start competing with each other.

Featuring Christopher Spranger and Christian Wolcott
Leader247 Episode 11: Obeya as a Leadership Operating System

In this video from Episode 11, Christopher Spranger and Christian Wolcott explain how leadership teams drift into silos when priorities are not consistently aligned.

Silos do not usually form all at once. They form one day at a time, when departments begin optimizing their own work, defending their own resources, and operating from their own version of reality. Over time, those silos can turn into internal competition, where leaders who should be on the same team start working against each other instead of solving together.

Key Insights

  • Silos form gradually when leaders do not have a consistent rhythm for alignment.

  • Internal competition wastes resources and weakens execution across the business.

  • Customers feel the impact of how well, or how poorly, the leadership team operates as one team.

This is just one piece of the whole system. Join a live Leader247 session and see how leaders are applying thinking like this inside real organizations.

No cost. No obligation. Just practical leadership.
