In some of the reading I did this past week I came across an article defining Teamwork as a group working together in a way that the collective value of individuals’ contributions is greater than the total of each individual’s contribution. You may need to read that again and pay particular attention to where the apostrophe falls. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the source – fortunately, I do remember the message.
This message is very consistent with our firm philosophy. Mike Lewis is fond of saying “none of us is as smart as all of us.” Each individual is important to us, and likewise each individual makes us all better.
Our photos this week are of a firm lunch cookout. This was special because our attorneys and managers did the cooking and served our larger team. Obviously, there is nothing for the folks on our Team that’s “not my job!” Here they are working and serving:
Nothing was really over the top, but it is a good example of our working together for the benefit of all. Here is the Team all together before heading back to work:
At Lewis & Daggett we are proud of how our team comes together to help our clients. Whether they are injured in an auto accident, hurt at work, or suffer from a disability, our team comes together with our best pieces in an effort to best serve our clients. Our Team includes Legal Assistants, Paralegals, Client Services Representatives, Negotiators (former insurance adjustors), Front Desk Services, a wide range of Support Staff, Investigators, and Attorneys. Of course we all have specific duties and responsibilities, but we intentionally have the flexibility to bring individuals across department lines and strict job descriptions so individual unique talents can help further our client’s cause.
We believe that the collective contributions from the members of our Team makes us all better, makes us better at what we do, and makes us better able to serve. We look forward to further developing our Teamwork and thereby our ability to serve.
