Within a global law firm there is plainly a need for a common culture and collegiality: every lawyer a client deals with anywhere in the world is a representative of the firm and needs to exhibit common values. The teamwork which is critical to a global firm strategy is based on a collegial approach.
Second, most of the justices suggested that informal norms of collegiality and respect for the opinions of colleagues often resulted in deliberate efforts to find acceptable compromise.
gloss: power and authority that is shared among peers, especially the sharing of collegiate power among Roman Catholic bishops.
pos: noun

examples: But collegiality does refer to a kind of sharing of authority between Rome and all the other local churches. Each bishop represents his own local church, and the pope represents the local church of Rome which, by tradition, exercises a primacy of love over all the other local churches and has become the church-of-last-resort in disputed questions.
For all the criticisms of John Paul's practice of collegiality, there is no doubt that he spoke often and highly of its importance. From his very first Urbi et Orbi address, given the day after his election, where he spoke of the “special bond, that is, collegiality” which “binds together the sacred pastors” [..] the collegiality of the bishops was a thread running through his pontificate.

And now it was destructively funny to see them sniff suspiciously at a pail of water, and then put in their noses and try to take a bite out of the fluid, as if it were a solid. Finding it liquid, they would snatch away their heads and fall to trembling, snorting and showing other evidences of fright. When they became convinced at last that the water was friendly and harmless, they thrust in their noses up to their eyes, brought out a mouthful of water, and proceeded to chew it complacently.https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roughing_It/Chapter_LXXVI
The strength of man was not given to be used destructively but that he might build a temple worthy to be the dwelling place of the Great Architect of the universe.
