How CEOs unknowingly allow their organizations to self-destruct

At Mentoring Consult Ltd (MCL), we’ve seen a pattern across industries: Organizations often destroy their own performance - not because of competitors, but because of silo mentality.

Silos form when teams or leaders withhold information, protect turf, or operate in isolation. And the impact is real: stalled execution, poor decisions, weakened collaboration, and reduced innovation.

In one of our client engagements, an organization lost hundreds of millions in potential business simply because one unit refused to share crucial information with another. The intention was to protect their own relevance - but the entire company paid the price.

For CEOs, this is one responsibility that cannot be delegated:

Ensure your organization operates as one integrated system - not scattered, protecting territories.

When information flows freely, when collaboration is rewarded, and when executives work collectively rather than competitively, performance accelerates.

A unified leadership team is not a should have, it is a must have. It is a strategic necessity.

As the CEO, always remember, not everything that can be counted truly counts.
