Modern leaders face the challenge of continuously reflecting on and developing their impact and competencies. 360° feedback plays a crucial role in this. It enables a comprehensive view of strengths and areas for development by bringing together feedback from various perspectives. Many clients report that they receive new impetus for their leadership work through 360° feedback and can specifically work on their impact.
Why 360° content is important for leaders
Leaders today work in complex organisations with diverse interfaces. One-sided feedback is no longer sufficient to understand one's own impact. 360° content offers a comprehensive overview that considers various viewpoints. This way, leaders receive feedback not only from superiors but also from colleagues, employees, and sometimes even external partners.
A practical example: In a medium-sized company, a manager was supported by 360° feedback. The feedback showed that while the manager was very competent in their technical field, there was room for improvement in communication and appreciation. Based on these findings, targeted work could be done on communication.
Another example: In an international concern, a leadership team was supported by 360° feedback. The feedback from various countries and departments showed that although the leaders were well-organised, there was potential for improvement in the areas of empathy and listening. Based on these findings, targeted measures were implemented to improve empathy and listening skills.
A third example: In a start-up, a manager was supported by 360° content. The feedback showed that while the manager was very innovative, there was room for improvement in the area of structure and organisation. Based on these findings, targeted work could be carried out on structure and organisation.
How 360° content is implemented in practice
Step-by-step guide to implementation
The implementation of 360° content takes place in several steps. First, a questionnaire is developed to assess relevant competencies and behaviours. Subsequently, feedback is gathered from various perspectives. The results are then analysed and discussed in a feedback interview.
A practical example: In a large company, a questionnaire was developed to gauge the competencies and behaviours of managers. Feedback was gathered from superiors, colleagues, employees, and external partners. The results were then analysed and discussed in a feedback meeting.
Another example: In a small company, a questionnaire was developed that asked about the competencies and behaviours of managers. Feedback was collected from supervisors, colleagues, and employees. The results were then analysed and discussed in a feedback meeting.
A third example: In an international company, a questionnaire was developed to query the competencies and behaviours of managers. Feedback was collected from superiors, colleagues, employees, and external partners from various countries. The results were then analysed and discussed in a feedback meeting.
Practical tips for implementation
When implementing 360° content, there are some important tips to consider. First, the questionnaire should be formulated clearly and understandably. Feedback should be collected anonymously to get honest answers. The results should be discussed in a feedback meeting to work specifically on further development.
A practical example: At a company, the questionnaire was clearly and understandably worded. The feedback was collected anonymously to ensure honest answers. The results were discussed in a feedback meeting to work specifically on further development.
