360 Feedback for Managers & Leaders 

 

Does 360 feedback form an integral part of your committment to employee and management development?  We ask as we all have a fundamental need to grow and develop, in addition to receiving affirmations on how we contribute positively to the social groups we are a part of.  In organisational development this is an area often overlooked when exporing employee performance and development.  But on the other hand, so many of us cringe at the words 'annual appraisal' or 'performance review'? So how can you create more buy-in and make this a valuable process?  For us, it is about finding the balance between fulfilling the organisation's needs and supporting the individual to grow and develop in a way which is right for them.  360 feedback are one tool to aid this process.  360 feedback tools provide a useful platform whereby the recipient can explore the differences between their perceived strengths and competencies vs. those perceptions held by colleagues, direct reports and managers.  We have chosen 2 great 360 feedback tools to assist you on your development journey.

360 Feedback Tools - Strength Deployment Inventory Feedback & Expectations Editions

Strength Deployment Inventory - Feedback Edition  The Strength Deployment Inventory Feedback edition explores a very different angle of 360 feedback, seeking feedback on both intention and motivation. As this tool does not deal with skill, ability or competency, the results can be used as a safe and rich platform to explore what behaviours were 'meant' and what was 'received'. This in turn creates a greater depth of understanding and personal effectiveness in what we do and how we do it.

Strength Deployment Inventory - Expectations Edition A fundamental but often overlooked part of any relationship is clarifying expectations. Perhaps we usually find these out over time, or as and when the need arises - often at the cost of conflict or damage to the relationship. This tool allows relational expectations to be clarified in a useful and safe way, providing the user with valuable learning opportunities and information from the beginning. Maybe it is your first day in your new role, with your new team, or perhaps you are wanting to take your performance to the next level and improve the quality of working relationships. Either way, the Strength Deployment Inventory Expectations edition will give you a valuable and different perspective.
