1. What is your assessment of Rob Parsons Performance?

Should he be
promoted? Why?
After assessing the evaluation report submitted for the the 360 degree performance
evaluationsystem, the promotion of Rob Parson can be deferred for an year or so.
There are several stronginputs provided by the colleagues inside and the outside of
the organisation are not supportivetowards the promotion of Rob Parson.
i) Parson's 360 degree performance evaluation summarizes a high degree
of dissatisfactionover the level of professionalism he displays and a nature of
volatile personality which has beenmentioned by his colleagues across the
organization
.ii) Parson's though did not have much conventional education but his ability to
deal with theclients and negotiations with them, but at the cost of company culture.
One of his colleague hasalso mentioned the violation of internal policies by
extending syndicate invitation which led to$20,000 error
.iii) Rob Parson is one of Morgan Stanley's strongest revenue producers, and had
generated agreat deal of new business for the firm ever since his recruitment. But
he is also sharp-tongued,impatient and difficult to work with. And thereby difficult
to promote.
iv) Parson himself wasn't so sure he was right for Morgan Stanley, or if it was right
for him.He'd always been a bit of a rebel, dropping out of one of New York's state
universities to moveto California, where he ran a beach moped shop until he got
bored and decided to go back andfinish his undergraduate studies.
v) according to cases, we can see that the capital markets division encounters some
severestraits for a long time, including a dramatic turnover rate and serious
understaffed. Those
issues wont be ignored and be even exacerbate if Nasr promoted Rob to managing
position
since Rob is bad at team play game and always wroks as a individual, not a
community. We canexpect that those problems will be worse.
