Perception is Reality
Importance of
Feedback
A 360º Feedback Assessment gathers information from several people
about an individual's effectiveness. This gives a person the unique opportunity
to see themselves through the eyes of others. A 360º will identify
areas in which a person is performing above, at or below the standards
of his/her boss, self, peers, and customers (if applicable).
360º Feedback
Assessments are powerful tools for helping individuals improve, grow and
develop their soft (interpersonal) skills. The development of effective
soft skills begins with the awareness of ineffective soft skills. A 360º
Feedback Assessment shows an individual how others view their performance,
versus what it should be. The understanding of others' perception will
increase an individual's drive for success, when he/she is given the information
in a constructive manner such as a 360º Feedback Assessment.
For example, performance
appraisals can be administered using a 360º Feedback Assessment.
This allows employees to see the reasoning behind any decision made about
their performance and can develop an action plan to improve. In addition,
360ºs are an essential component for continued learning and success.
Event vs. Process
Previous 360º Feedback Assessments have been missing the necesssary
follow-up strategies to make them effective. Organizations have been using
360ºs as one-day training events without follow-up. A 360º is
intended to be used as a starting point for a developmental process. The
"Discovery 360º Feedback" provides follow-up strategies
to ensure one's success. All 360º Feedback Assessment results should
be facilitated in a way that leads to a complete process for improvement.
When people look at a 360º as a starting point to an improvement
process, they feel more secure with the information given.
