  • What Greg did not like about 360 degree feedback:
     - Saw bad results when there was no follow up
     - Without context and support people narrow in on (and get stuck around) negative feedback

    - Ability to tailor and customize the Survey to the situation
    - Being able to see scoring trends and uncover blind spots
    - Raters can add comments after every numerical score, these comments make for solid coaching moments and conversations
    - Recommendations for Development provided within 20/20 Insight are helpful
    - Summary Questions at the end
  • Results - two situations: one where 360 feedback did not make a difference, and one where it did make a difference

  • Two Questions every company should ask and answer before committing to 360 Feedback:
    1)  Why are you doing this?  (If the answer is to help the person, you are on track.)
    2)  What is your plan for debriefing, coaching and accountability?  (You have to have a full plan for follow up and encouragement.)
  • When companies should and should not use 360 degree feedback
