The Key Benefit: A Unique Reality Check

A 360° process provides a unique reality check on how an individual is perceived by the people around him in the organization.

People involved in the process often report that for the first time, they have a clear view of how they are viewed by peers, superiors and subordinates. The 360° Review provides an important foundation for executive development initiatives that are specifically tailored to the individual.

For senior executives, the 360° Review process can be a critically important tool for establishing clear learning and development agendas that help them become more effective leaders.

The 360° Review - How It Works

At the outset, the 360° Review process involves a personal interview with the participant. In addition to a structured interview, the person is asked to complete a behavioural style survey.

Subsequently, we interview between 9 and 12 superiors, peers and subordinates who are in positions of contact with the individual. Typically, these interviews last about 1/2 hour and include a behavioural style survey.

Once the data is gathered and analyzed, we prepare a report of the findings and have a final meeting with the participant. At that time, we share and interpret the results of the 360° process and provide a developmental agenda.

Once the 360° Review process is complete and a developmental agenda is established for the individual, we are available to provide on-going coaching to assist the individual in reaching their developmental objectives.

360° Reviews and Team Development

In addition, sharing the results of the 360° Review with other executives in a group forum can facilitate the development of the team. The 360° Review process begins to cut through the facades and imaginings that people carry around about other people. Typically new levels of trust open up as the findings are shared with each other.
