If I am not wrong, jounins are chosen by the Hokage with the approval of all the rest of chuunins; meaning this was Kakashi decision. Kakashi has praised several times shikamaru and his abilities (as well as sakura), so to me it is obvious he prometed shikamaru to jounin level. Sorry Rachin, but i dont think Kakashi fully trusts Rock lee, jounin rank is not just about power.
