Get Rid of Silos at Work

About This Video

The strongest teams don’t operate in silos—they collaborate.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, Mason speaks with Ryan Patrick, lead guitarist of the rock band OTHERWISE, about how understanding different aspects of the music business made him a better musician, leader, and team player.

This same cross-training mindset applies in business—teams that share knowledge and work across functions are:

✔ More adaptable to change
✔ Better at solving problems
✔ Stronger collaborators

Whether you’re in music, business, or leadership, this conversation will show you why breaking down silos and embracing cross-functional learning leads to stronger teams and better results.

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that, except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
