In this article, What Kind of Example Do I Want To Be, the writer has analysed 360 Degree Feedback from a number of organisations and has identified some key leadership behaviours from the feedback and comments received.
This is something that we have started to do with a number of the organisations we work for, that is, using their 360 Degree Feedback as both an assessment of current skills, behaviours and values for individuals, and a way of analysing the overall skill levels and key values in the whole organisation.
So if you're conducting a training needs analysis, or looking at the real values that the organisation aspires to (which is an essential place to start if you're looking at what really differentiates you from the competition), then 360 Degree Feedback is a great tool to use for this.
You can start with measuring against standard skills, competencies or values, and then develop and customise these as you gather more evidence, and measure the changes as they happen.
If you've used 360 Degree Feedback this way, please feel free to share your experience and whether this was a valuable exercise. If you like to talk to us about this in more detail, please e-mail at jo.ayoubi@tracksurveys.co.uk.
