Who needs an executive performance evaluation? 

We can design and deliver an executive performance evaluation for anyone in your firm or law department who has critical business development or management responsibilities, such as:

• Senior partner
• General counsel
• Managing partner
• Chief executive officer
• Executive director
• Human resources manager
• Finance director
• Marketing director
• Practice group head

How is a Walker Clark evaluation different?

• We specially design each evaluation from the specific requirements of the executive's position description.
• Depending on the job, we reference approximately 18 to 25 specific behaviors and actions that have been demonstrated to link to superior financial and business performance for the organization.
• We not only examine the executive's behaviors, but also their impact on measurable business results.
• We solicit feedback on the executive's performance confidentially from a group of the executive's seniors and colleagues who are in the best position to provide specific information about performance and results.
• We offer an independent view that intersects the firm's unique culture and business environment with best practices in other similar law firms or law departments.
• As part of the evaluation, we advise and assist the executive to write a developmental plan to capitalize on his or her strengths and to make the best possible progress with opportunities for improvement.
• We provide an extensive, in-depth written report and an on-site briefing to designated senior managers.
• We provide an in-depth, action-oriented debriefing meeting to the executive.
• We advise management and the executive on implementation of the executive's development plan and management participation in it.

Commitment to a key business resource

A Walker Clark executive performance evaluation is an extensive, in-depth process, not a snapshot.  It typically takes 45 to 90 days, depending on the complexity of the issues involved.  We charge a fixed fee, which usually includes all expenses and disbursements.  We offer substantial discounts if we are engaged to evaluate more than one executive in the firm or law department.

Senior leaders and managers are valuable resources in any business -- and especially in the legal profession.   Protect your organization's investment in your key people with an independent performance evaluation from Walker Clark.
