- 5. Today’s Role of HR
• HR is more important than ever today and is a critical success
factor in your firm’s success
• With nearly 76 million U.S. Baby Boomers and over half of the
CPA profession set to retire in the next 12 years – your firm
will be in need of people!
• Traditionally, HR has been viewed as a “compliance” necessity
and often considered administrative
– Further, HR professionals have a reputation for being “soft” or “pro-
employee”
• It is important to work to incorporate your HR function as a
strategic initiative in your firm and include HR in your
planning

- 9. Are Your People Sold
On Working For You?
• According to preliminary data from the soon-to-be
published 2011 PCPS Top Talent Survey, nearly half
of the profession’s star performers are open to other
options beyond their current position
– There appears to be a wave of “pent up” voluntary
turnover that may be headed your way soon (if you
haven’t already seen it)
– So what are you doing to re-engage your team so that they
are motivated and inspired by their choice to work for
your firm?

- 10. A Word About
Individual Motivators
• In their work, all people value:
– Acknowledgement and respect
– Increased responsibility and challenge
– Flexibility and time off
– Compensation
– Camaraderie and fun
– Personal development
• How do you rank these? Take a moment to rank these
yourself
• Each person in your firm values these motivators differently
– It’s your job – and that of HR to identify the individual motivators and
appeal to them

- 11. Recognize, Know And
Talk To Them
• No matter how many people are in your firm, work to know
as many of them as possible by name and on sight
– Consider having someone develop a digital book that includes
everyone’s picture, name and brief biography
– Reach out regularly by e-mails, phone calls and face-to-face meetings
– Take these opportunities to learn what motivates them and what they
most want to achieve in their career and in their personal life
– Find out what more the firm can do to support them in achieving their
life’s goals
• Knowing your people is one of the best forms of
acknowledgement and respect that they could receive!

- 12. Invest In Your People
• One of the highest compliments you can pay your
employees is to spend time with them by:
– Taking them along on sales calls, to conferences or
meeting with key clients or referral sources
– Allowing them the privilege of shadowing work at higher
levels
– Investing in more training per person than your
competitors and including soft-skills education at every
level, including administrative staff

- 13. Be Willing To Change
• The needs of today’s up-and-comers are different
from when you came up
• Give up your “old school” notions of how it should
be and manage your organization based on the way
that it is
– Embrace diversity and provide opportunities for your staff
to collaborate with your leaders on strategic planning,
owning key initiatives and participating in committees
– Develop work-from-anywhere programs that move
towards measuring on results and less on face time

- 14. Have Fun With Your
People
• Younger generations are most engaged when
they feel a part of a team at work
• Create opportunities to bond through team-
building activities and corporate fun
• It is critical that your firm’s leaders participate
in firm-sponsored social and
community activities
www.convergencecoaching.com

- 15. Thank Them!
• This may go without saying, but we see so
many leaders forget to do this –
– Thank your people!
– Stop by their cubicle, send them an email or even
better, write them a hand-written thank you note!
– Catch them doing a good job
– Reward them with “spot bonuses” in addition to
an incentive plan that they can control based on
their contribution to the firm

- 18. Engaging Your Stars
• Identify and engage your rising stars
– Or someone else will
– It will help you prioritize your time and investment in
people – use Pareto’s 80/20 rule
• When you cull people from the pack, you can
differentiate them
– Then you can determine what special benefits you’re
going to give them to develop them
– These folks are usually on the fast track

stars? What behaviors do they
exhibit?
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 19
- 20. Identifying Your Stars
• Evaluate your people considering:
– Competence
• Technical and soft skills
• Abilities and expertise
• Experience
• Ability to learn and grow
– Character
• Behavior and intention
– Promotability/importance
• Interest in rising further or how critical this person is to the firm
• Professional “presence” and acceptance of others at the “next level”

- 21. Potential Partners
• According to the AICPA PCPS Top Talent Survey, 69% of top
talent said their firms did not have a partner track or they did
not know if their firm had one
• First you must identify the attributes, competencies and other
qualifications to be considered for a Partner in Training (PIT) or
Leadership Development program (LDP)
– Get buy in from your other partners, if applicable, and rank your people
against them
• Next, identify the priority of the people and for the first one or
two partner potentials, you’ll want to identify what more you
need to do to prepare them
www.convergencecoaching.com

ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 21
- 22. Caution
• Be careful not to get caught up in identifying your
rising stars based on history or “time in”
• You also could run into arguments that investing
differently from previous rising stars isn’t fair or will
make someone else mad
– Our current economic situation and requirement to
succession plan won’t allow us to do it how we’ve always
done it
– You have to manage communications around this program
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 22
- 23. Make Them
Feel Special
• Create a leadership development training program that
includes training on soft skills
– Leadership attributes
– Ownership and accountability
– Communication and managing conflict
– People development and business development
– Public speaking
• Incorporate your current partners into the program
– Dinners with the partners and partner candidates
– Business model training
– Participation in partner meetings and strategic planning – increase
transparency!

- 27. The Foundation Of
Accountability
• Before you can institute or improve your
firm’s accountability process, the partners
must first establish unity
– Based on trust
– Around a firm strategy
– With the right governance model and other
constructs in place
– Engaging in straight talk where there are
disconnects
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 27
- 28. A Unified Team
• Each partner should be expected to submit to the
strategy and decisions made by those empowered to
make them
– In addition to firm policies, procedures and other
expectations
• Straight talk (and a little tough love) are required around:
– Partner support both in and out of the partner meetings –
no triangulation or “doing your own thing” allowed
– Expected contributions or performance
– Disappointment when performance is not happening
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 28
- 29. Submission
• A key attribute of an effective leader is the ability to
submit
– Trust building behaviors are required
– Ensure the support structures are in place (like role
descriptions, goals) and decision authority is defined
– The question for you is, “once these are defined, will you
submit to them?” This would allow for:
• The Managing Partner, Service Line Leaders and Committees to
be empowered
• Decisions to be made more efficiently and effectively
• Increased productivity
• Less of a feeling of struggle for all involved
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 29
- 30. Moving On
• Sometimes, a partner may not be willing to buy in to
firm strategy and may need to leave
– All partners have to be willing to be accountable for their
contribution to a unified strategy
• While these conversations are never easy (and have
other implications) the cost of a lack of partner unity
is far greater
– The long-term benefits of addressing a lack of buy-in far
outweigh any short-term discomfort
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 30
- 32. Unified Firm Strategy
• Do you have a firm strategy that includes the following
elements?
– Mission – the difference you want to make
– Vision – where the firm will be in 3-5 years
– Values – what you believe in, are committed to, and are willing to be
held accountable for
– Competitive Positioning – your “difference making” story
– Product Service Mix – your “front burner” initiatives
• Is it written and shared with the entire team?
• Do you review it regularly with your team (at least quarterly)?
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 32
- 33. Minimum Performance
Expectations
• “Minimum” partner performance expectations should be
defined in competence areas such as:
– Firm core values and leadership
– Client service
– Technical excellence
– People development
– Business development
– Financial contribution
• Each partner should set goals that go “above and beyond”
minimum expectations based on each partner’s strengths –
and goals must s-t-r-e-t-c-h you to make a difference
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 33
- 34. When Establishing
Your Goals
• Make them:
– Specific – your goals should be specific rather than general
and answer the “W” questions (who, what, why, when, and
where)
– Measurable – establish specific criteria for measuring
progress whether financial, based on activities, etc.
– Realistic and Relevant – a goal must be something the
organization is committed to and that you are willing and
able to work toward
– Written and Shared – commitment to performance
increases when goals are written and you tell others

- 38. Return And Report
• You’ll drive performance by being accountable and regularly
checking in to return and report your status
– When partners are asked to report on their status regularly, they are
more likely to show up with progress having been made
– Partners should share their status against their goals with their direct
reporting partner and in departmental, office, or firm-wide partner
meetings
• These check-ins should occur no less than quarterly
– Share roadblocks and breakthroughs, and communicate both
appreciation and disappointment
• Engage in “straight talk” about unmet commitments
• Don’t “ball drop” or give fuzzy language when making commitments (i.e.
“I’ll try”)
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 38
- 39. Must Do: Meeting
Recaps
• Write a brief recap for “return and report” meetings you
participate in if one isn’t assigned
– You’ll ensure clarity on decisions made and actions assigned and
the next “return and report” date
• Recaps should include:
– Who owns which actions and when they’ll be complete
• The owner’s name can be in blue for easy identification
– Key decisions that were made
• If a decision wasn’t reached, who owns driving to a decision after the
meeting?
– Items that were off-topic but captured in a “parking lot” for
future follow up

- 40. Let’s Interact
• Why don’t we consistently provide
performance feedback to our partners?
• Why do we resist receiving it?
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 40
- 41. Partners Are Not
Above Feedback
• The phenomena that once you make partner, you’re “above”
performance feedback or having to “answer” to someone still
exists in many firms
• Partners should receive feedback on a regular basis when
they return and report the status of their goals
• And, partners should receive a formal annual (if not semi-
annual) review, too, just as you do for your other team
members
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 41
- 42. It IS Your Place …
• …to talk partner performance!
• To drive firm growth and permanence, which requires a
“constant refinement” mindset
• As leaders, to strive to learn and improve every single day up
until our last
– But a lot of what partners portray is something like, “Don’t call me on
mine and I won’t call you on yours”
• If you’re the managing partner, CEO, a service line leader or a
partner responsible for an operational element of the firm,
you will have corrections and requests you need to make
• …to provide feedback and talk straight to partners!

- 43. Importance Of
Performance Feedback
• Performance feedback is a gift we give others
• It enables us to:
– Communicate expectations and get feedback on ways we
can improve our people and processes
– Provide an opportunity for performance improvement
– Motivate those on the right track to continue on their path
and inspire those who are not to shift directions
– Manage those who are not performing to improve
• Doing so provides us confidence that we’ve done all we could
when admitting a team member is not working
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 43
- 44. Reward Performance
• By implementing a good comp system that…
– Is understood by all (in writing)
– Is simple (or as simple as possible)
– Is fair – those who contribute the most get the most and
those who contribute the least earn least
– Is trusted
– Encourages the right behaviors
– Is motivating
www.convergencecoaching.com
©Copyright 2000-2012
ConvergenceCoaching, LLC
All rights reserved. 44
- 45. Pay For Performance
• We’re believers in getting as close to a pay-for-
performance method as possible
• Making changes in your comp system has to be
transitional
• Foundational tenants
– Compensation is separate from return on owner’s equity
and/or shares owned
– Some separate NOI and pay whatever is left over after
comp based on shares
– Comp should be roles-based – those who perform the
most valuable roles make the most
– It includes a combination of base salary (draws) and
incentive based compensation
