Teamwork in Law Firms

More than a decade ago, Stephanie West Allen wrote an article (pre-internet - sorry - no link) on why law firms struggle with teamwork.  While corporations, non-profit organizations and even some accounting firms have evolved and become more sophisticated in working together in virtual and real teams, most law firms have a death-clutch on "silo" individual practices. 

Christopher Avery has been teaching "Teamwork is an Individual Skill" for years.  His website is Partnerwerks.com and is affiliated with the Agile Project Leadership Network.  Avery has some good articles on teamwork and leadership, including his definition of Team.  His archive of TeamWisdom Tips is also rich. 

Stephanie West Allen also consults in the areas of teamwork and leadership.  Her website is allen-nichols.com.
