Its likely 2 - people know who sells and delivers when its time for partner. This goes beyond just numbers, they can be manipulated. If you make the firm money then that in the end really is the most important thing. If you aren't a SM, I would stay out of it because you would be making a career limiting move.
If the info you have is compliance related, i.e. this person has been doing something to put the overall firm at risk, then you can and should go tell the compliance people anonymously. I don't care how much this SM sells, if they end up causing us to end up on the front page of the WSJ, the firm will not let him make PPD.
No
The opposite. It's a level many cannot get past.
Hell no, quite a few make it to sm then bolt to industry,
^nor do they want to
No that's far from true
Partner, principal, director. Only CPAs are partners. In consulting they are technically principals but most people call them partners. Directors are the same level in terms of landing spots but not considered as lucrative bc it's salary and not buy-in (although still a very difficult level to achieve).
Do you have another PPED or SM who dislikes this person? If you do and know it, you can share it that way but do so carefully. What level are you in the company. At a certain level, it can be forgiven but at another, you are perceived to know clearly what you are doing. You will burn a bridge so if you do this you need to come out with a strong alliance.
It flushes out in the long run usually but not always - sorry but this is an ugly game sometimes. What can happen is that people won't want to work for them. I'd rather my team want to work for me than have to. It takes more work to do that but long term, my view is that is the better route but in a promotion year, it is a sharktank and I get the behaivor in terms of motivation.
Never mind thought you worked at EY good luck
It's all politics really and who will go to bat for you and who will try to stab you in the back. The work itself is just tablestakes to be In be game. It doesn't get easier the higher you go either. Shark tanks are bloody business.
No way. Not even true in the case of M.
What's PPD stand for in Deloitte lexicon
Part of it is economics and age - at some point it doesn't make sense. That is also a lot of risk and equity in one place. Plenty of people at Anderson didn't expect their career to change the way that it did.
Is there a limit on the amount of times that a SM can go up for PPD? If they do t make it, can they be counseled out or do they just chill at that level indefinitely until they leave?
It probably depends on the situation. Most people need to go up twice to get it. Some people are probably eventually counseled out or given direct feedback that it won't happen but ideally to where they get a good industry job and want to hire Deloitte later.
This is evil, but I recently had a SM who I really do not think it PPD material. I have documentation of what this person has done that I think is bad for the company. On one hand, I can't fathom the idea of ruining someone's career, but on the other hand, I feel like it would be really bad for the company if this person made PPD. Thoughts? Is there a way to share this info with decision makers? Not sure that I could bring myself to go through with it, but I think that this person is a very bad apple who either 1. Fools the key people whom s/he needs to fool or 2. Is useful at bringing in business so it doesn't matter.
EY2- I agree. Thank you.
D6- good advice. Thanks. Don't think this goes directly into the compliance category, but was more of directly damaging the relationship with a highly strategic partner and then blaming it on the partner org- the paper trail that I have shows otherwise. Not that big of an issue in the scheme of things, but it was so unprofessional and it was cringeworthy that it impacted my sleep for weeks because I felt like it was negatively reflecting back on my professional reputation. since I was on the same team. Def made the company look bad and wasn't in our interest, but prob not a compliance violation. Thanks for drawing the line though
