Teamwork pays off!

Detective Inspector Thomas "Tommy" Lynley, 8th Earl of Asherton, and Barbara Havers (ever changing ranks) know: working as a team can be frustrating. It's about negotiation and compromises.

Colleagues are not really a team before they have found out how to combine their individual strengths. In this case, Tommy is an aristocrat, which can come in handy when interviewing a witness or suspect at a university, while Barbara comes from another social class and therefore has a very different approach.

In our clinic, we have a very effective team. Dentists, receptionists, dental technicians and all the others work extremely well together. The team's morale and professionalism are excellent. Each member of the staff has his/her special skills. When there is a problem, they will look at it from many perspectives and they are all working under the same roof, so -unless they are having a day off- they are always there when you need them.
