Dale,
Thanks for the update. I fully concur with all the rankings. It seems things are going well with the Research Group in London and this is, to a very large extent, your contribution. I think that Anjam has improved a lot. I don't think, however, that he can run the group in the future. Steve emerged as a natural leader and has overwhelming support in the organization. Vince Dale Surbey 06/15/2000 02:28 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: London Research PRC Vince, We had the PRC preranking for RAC and Research in London yesterday. Here's how everyone came out: Steven - Superior: No controversy here. Steve received consistently strong feedback (ranked as either superior or excellent in all categories). The only rough spot was teamwork, arising from the friction between Anjam and himself. Anjam - Excellent: Anjam received rankings of Superiors or Excellents in all categories. Several reviewers commented that Anjam's performance in the areas of producing results in a timely manner and communication have improved. I felt the overall ranking of excellent was justified based on this feedback, even though in terms of leadership I don't rate him high enough to run the group here. Stinsen provided the most insightful comment on Anjam's performance: "Technically superior but lets his quest for a leadership position detract from his overall performance". On a related topic, Anjam has been taking random days off, typically on short notice, so I suspect he's interviewing for a new job. Given his inability to work with Steven (especially in the future when Stephen heads the group), this may be the best long-term solution. Any thoughts? Ben - Superior: Another non-controversial ranking. Ben received consistently high marks from all the groups he supports, especially in the area of non-technical skills. I nominated Ben for promotion to Senior Specialist. Even though he was promoted at year end, he's taken on a lot of responsibility training Kirstee and helping manage the other quant resources in Brian's group. Also, since Kirstee was hired in at the same level as Ben, a mid-year promotion is appropriate since he's effectively her supervisor. Kirstee - Strong: Only limited feedback in the 2 months she's been here. High marks for technical/quantitative, strong in the "soft" skills. I think the strong rating is the right message for early in the game - gives her a target for improvement for the rest of the year. - Dale
