John Knotts and his book, “Overcoming Organizational Myopia: Breaking Through Siloed Organizations” places the emphasis on where it’s needed -- focusing on the people, building a culture of leadership, and showing a way how an organization can operate better as an organization. He accomplishes this by illuminating the perils that need to be avoided and the challenges that need to be overcome -- offering the reader insight and guidance on how to integrate an organization horizontally and not just optimize processes within an organizations functional siloes. The manner in which he delivers this guidance is very effective. His story-telling brings to life the lessons and wisdom he is sharing and makes the book very relatable to those who are responsible for helping a company become a high-performance organization.
