360-degree feedback score

Answer the key performance question: “How well are our people performing in the eyes of those who have a stake in their performance?”

360° feedback

Use 360° feedback when a leader or employee needs a broader view than a manager alone can provide, particularly for behaviours such as collaboration, communication, delegation and leadership. It can support coaching, leadership programmes, succession development and follow up on a personal development plan.

Extracted signals

Strengths, limits, and pitfalls.

360-degree feedback score

  • A strong item uses an ACTION VERB, describes an OBSERVABLE and IMPORTANT behaviour, covers ONLY ONE behaviour, uses CLEAR LANGUAGE, states the POSITIVE desired behaviour and contributes with the other items to a SUFFICIENT definition of its category.

Watch for

  • Confidentiality protects both recipients and respondents.

360° feedback

  • Turn the report into one or two observable behaviour changes and ask trusted colleagues for continuing feedback. Insight without follow through rarely changes how others experience you.
  • Define the purpose and rules. Explain who will see the report, how anonymity will be protected and how the results will—and will not—be used.
  • Choose relevant measures. Use a concise set of observable behaviours rather than vague personality labels. Test the wording for cultural and role relevance.

Watch for

  • Do not promise a confidential development exercise and then use the results covertly for pay, promotion or dismissal. That breach of purpose undermines both the ratings and future candour.
