Evaluating a potential partner.

The article focuses on the proposal of accountant Donald B. Scholl, president of D. B. Scholl Inc., that a consulting firm establish a precise staff for partners in training. He said that an evaluation period of roughly six months to three years should be sufficient to evaluate the candidate. The best way to evaluate the partnership candidate is through a system of regular reviews. One partner should be designated partner-in-training counselor, and be responsible for candidate development.
