How is a Walker Clark Executive Performance Review different?

  • We design each evaluation from the specific requirements of each 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 organization's unique culture and business environment with proven successful practices in similar law firms.

  • We deliver an extensive, in-depth written report and an on-site briefing to designated senior managers.

  • We conduct an in-depth, action-oriented debriefing meeting to the executive.

  • We help the executive to write and implement their development plan, as well as advise management on the most effective ways to support the executive's efforts to achieve the best business and professional results.
