In the NYC school system, home of value-added evalutations and performance pay strategies, none of the senior personnel are subject to formal evaluations any more. The current Chancellor, Dennis Walcott, says formal evaluations aren't needed; he evaluates his staff informally on a daily basis, yadda yadda. Funny, I do the same with my students, but no one gives a damn about my assessments of their progress. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323683504578567970958195656.html?mod=WSJ_hps_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsThird
BTW, it took a Freedom of Information Act request to get this info... so much for transparency.
Then there's this gem:
"Certainly that's how we do it in business," said Mr. Levy, who is a managing director of investment firm Palm Ventures. "Everyone has an evaluation from the CEO on down, and I've always thought that that was an appropriate way to manage."
QUESTION:
How many of those CEOs lose their jobs over these formal evaluations? my sense of it is they generally keep their job until they get into a pissing contest with the wrong faction on the board of directors.
