as staff. contrary to what many partners may feel, partners <strong>can<\/strong> and <strong>must<\/strong> continually improve their performance.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>five types of partner evaluations<\/h3>\n<p>these five types of evaluations, taken together, get feedback from all the people a partner works with. the results provide a basis for appraising partner performance.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>self-evaluations<\/li>\n<li>staff evaluations of partners<\/li>\n<li>client satisfaction surveys<\/li>\n<li>peer evaluations<\/li>\n<li>evaluations by supervising partners such as the managing partner and partner in charge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>let\u2019s drill down on each of these.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>self-evaluation. <\/strong>this can be used in one of two ways: the self-evaluation can be a standalone tool distributed to those participating in the evaluation and income allocation process, such as the managing partner or the compensation committee. or it can be the start of a traditional performance appraisal by the managing partner or a department head. see the end of this post for a great example of a self-evaluation form.<\/li>\n<li><strong>upward evaluations of the partners by the staff.<\/strong> the #1 reason staff leave their firm is dissatisfaction with the boss. in a cpa firm, the partners are the bosses. any firm that is serious about developing excellent staff and being a great place to work must get feedback from the staff on how they see the partners. upward evaluations help management assess partners\u2019 effectiveness with staff. just as important, they help individual partners understand how they can be more effective at managing staff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">many firms are reluctant to conduct upward evaluations. major reasons for this are that partners fear receiving weak evaluations and don\u2019t wish to subject themselves to criticism.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>larger firms<\/strong> are more committed to upward evaluations than smaller ones. this list shows what percentage of firms of each size do upward evaluations:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>72% of firms over $20 million<\/li>\n<li>44% of firms $10-$20 million<\/li>\n<li>37% of firms $2-$10 million<\/li>\n<li>only 3% of firms under $2 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">skeptics of upward evaluations fear that the staff are not mature enough to evaluate partners properly. here are some reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>when a staff person performs poorly on an engagement and then receives a weak evaluation by the partner, the angry staff person may avenge the poor grade by giving the partner a weak evaluation.<\/li>\n<li>some young staff are slow to learn how a professional behaves in a business environment. they may resent a partner\u2019s attempts to teach them proper conduct and give the partner a weak evaluation in return.<\/li>\n<li>personality differences occur in all walks of life. there are bound to be situations where clashes occur between partners and staff.<\/li>\n<li>staff may be reluctant to complete honest evaluations for fear that the partners (their bosses!) will somehow find out who said what. the result could be inflated ratings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>my responses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>yes, some staff<\/strong> may give a weak evaluation that is undeserved. the cure is for the firm to be large enough to generate enough evaluations (at least five or six) for <strong>each<\/strong> partner to minimize the impact of one improper rating. if only two or three evaluations are generated for each partner, it\u2019s probably not feasible to conduct upward evaluations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>i have conducted dozens<\/strong> of upward evaluations. in every one of them, those partners receiving low grades acknowledged the evaluations\u2019 validity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>the key to conducting<\/strong> any kind of survey effectively is to use methodology that yields valid results. to get effective upward evaluation results, use the following techniques:\n<ul>\n<li>anonymity and confidentiality <strong>must<\/strong> be guaranteed.<\/li>\n<li>to make the staff feel safe to be open and honest in their responses, the survey <strong>must<\/strong> be tabulated by an outside organization instead of internal personnel.<\/li>\n<li>at least 95 percent participation by the staff is needed.<\/li>\n<li>staff should be allowed to complete evaluations <strong>only<\/strong> of partners they worked for. no one should be allowed to evaluate a partner based on hearsay from fellow staff.<\/li>\n<li>if a partner receives only two or three evaluations, the results should be discarded because the partner may be able to figure out who said what.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>client satisfaction surveys.<\/strong> these measure clients\u2019 satisfaction and loyalty to the firm and identify ways to better serve them. along with staff, clients are a major group that partners need to interact with effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">client surveys should do more than determine whether or not clients are happy with the firm\u2019s work. they should examine the level of a client\u2019s satisfaction and what to do to improve it. in designing a survey, the firm needs to take the time to determine exactly what it needs to know from clients. if you are planning a client survey, consider the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>how thorough are we in our approach to your work?<\/li>\n<li>how creative are we in our proposed solutions?<\/li>\n<li>do we document our work activities to your liking?<\/li>\n<li>have we responded promptly to your needs?<\/li>\n<li>are you familiar with other services we provide?<\/li>\n<li>would you use us for other services?<\/li>\n<li>are our communications understandable?<\/li>\n<li>do we listen well?<\/li>\n<li>do we let you know in advance the steps involved in solving your problems?<\/li>\n<li>do we anticipate your needs?<\/li>\n<li>do we show an interest in you beyond the projects you have engaged us for?<\/li>\n<li>has your understanding of the matters we handle for you improved from working with us?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">client surveys can go beyond measuring satisfaction levels. they can be tools for inquiring about clients\u2019 needs or interests in additional services your firm offers.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>peer evaluations.<\/strong> whereas the first forms of evaluation are suitable for firms of all sizes, peer evaluations are appropriate only at smaller firms, say, five partners or less. at this smaller size, the partners all know each other well enough to evaluate each other. once firms get larger than five or so partners, it gets increasingly difficult for partners to evaluate their peers properly. for them, better evaluation options include upward evaluations and reviews by department heads and the managing partner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>traditional performance evaluations. <\/strong>an appraisal session is convened to review the partner\u2019s overall performance. the evaluation is performed by a supervising partner such as the managing partner, partner in charge or practice group leader. some firms appoint two partners to jointly conduct this appraisal session. cpa firms below $20 million are, unfortunately, not big users of partner evaluations, evidenced in the rosenberg map survey. this list shows what percentage of firms of each size do traditional evaluations:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>81% of firms over $20 million<\/li>\n<li>56% of firms $10-$2 million<\/li>\n<li>35% of firms $2-$10 million<\/li>\n<li>only 6% of firms under $2 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">as with staff, it\u2019s useful to have the partner being reviewed complete a self-evaluation form and discuss it with the reviewing partner.<\/p>\n<h3>partner self-evaluation and impact form<\/h3>\n<p>name_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>date______________________________________<\/p>\n<p>the firm should provide all partners with key production statistics: their personal billable hours, client base managed, realization on both, age of wip, age of a\/r, etc. firms don\u2019t want people guessing what their actual statistics are.<\/p>\n<p>many firms use the
