The Know How You Need & the Tools to Get You There... Get Certified >
What is feedback? Why do we need it? Why do we struggle with it? How can we survive and thrive in the midst of it?
A colleague once shared her view of feedback and of 360 surveys, "Imagine standing in the center of a circle of people, naked. That's what a 360 (feedback survey) can feel like. There is an incredible sense of vulnerability..."
Some feedback from some people in certain situations can be downright scary. No wonder we have a love/hate relationship with feedback and the leadership management training tool the 360 Feedback Survey.
Feedback can leave us feeling vulnerable. So why do we need it? Why not just steer clear of it? Why don't we avoid all feedback at all costs?
What is feedback? Well, you benefit from it, formally and informally, every day. Here are a few examples of what it is and how it helps you:
Definition of 360 Feedback:
It's a personal and professional development process that
involves getting anonymous feedback about specific sales and
leadership traits and competencies from people who observe
the Subject's behaviors at work on a regular basis.
Raters can include: direct reports, peers, managers and/or customers.
Results help measure sales and leadership qualities, and are used to help an employee leverage their strength's and close gaps.
My examples of all the different kinds of feedback we receive reminds us that: Feedback can be our friend.
Without feedback you'd have:
Yes, feedback IS your friend! And, while feedback is not always easy to take, when you get it you at least know what others perceptions are. And when you know, you can then decide whether adjustments about anything you've been doing unconsciously that has been getting in the way of your success.
Yes. Feedback IS your friend.
