It is time for organizations to break out of the silo culture. For this, a brand of leadership is needed that can emerge out of the same. To do this, cultural brokers need to be developed and then deployed. People need to be goaded to ask the right questions. For this, the leader needs to act as the role model. Corporate training sessions need to be organized where employees are to be specifically taught, the art of enquiry. The people need to see the world from others’ viewpoints. Cross- silo dialogues have to be encouraged as well. The talent recruitment programme needs to specifically hire for empathy and curiosity as key traits. The employees’ vision to must be enlarged through much exposure. A good way of doing this, is to bring together diverse groups. The employees also need to be encouraged to themselves explore distant networks.
