We all know that many law firms send mixed messages to their lawyers (and often to their clients, too). They talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk, particularly when it comes to the informal norms and values that define “the way we do things around here.”
How to Fail at Collaboration
For firms or teams with historically non-collaborative cultures (and that describes 99.9% of them), this "whole collaboration thing" has become a huge annoyance, an attempted interference with "how we've always practiced law." For these folks, the challenge is thorny: Convince everyone that their culture is changing with the times while continuing to conduct business as usual. When they fail, there is often a huge — and demoralizing — gap between the cup and the lip.
