Take it away, readers!
Thanks and a hearty virtual handshake from the team at Adam Smith, Esq.; we’re glad you opted to hear from us.
What you can expect from us:
Welcome onboard! If you like what you read, tell your friends, and if you don’t, tell us.
PS: You know where to find us so we invite you to make this a two-way conversation; if you have an idea or suggestion for something you’d like us to discuss, drop it in our inbox. No promises that we’ll write about it, but we will faithfully promise to read your thoughts carefully.
Who are the 15 (so far) dreamers who voted for “Through training, professional development, coaching, and working through case studies together.”? I would happily carpool to Coachella with these folks, but firms should do whatever they can to keep these people out of management.
So do I take this to mean you’re skeptical of firms’ proclaiming that their “culture” is what makes them distinctive?
I’m one of the (now 24) dreamers who voted for “Through training, professional development, coaching, and working through case studies together.” The unwritten continuation of my choice is that lawyers who, despite receiving training, professional development, and coaching, refuse to collaborate for the benefit of the firm eventually receive a further partner benefit: outplacement counseling. What makes some coaching fall on deaf ears is that the head between the ears doesn’t perceive teamwork as an essential value of the firm’s culture, and if the head doesn’t want to be part of the team culture, the tail that it’s attached to should be kicked out of the firm.
