360 Degree Feedback
Management Development and Leadership
Development in Sydney
Leadership Development using 360
Degree Feedback reporting is common
practice in our Sydney management development
clients and our clients for management
development across Australia. There
are many benefits to starting a Leadership
Development Program for any individual,
using an appropriate questionnaire.
One of the critical success factors
is the process of how the feedback is
given to the individual and what they
do with the results. Leadership Coaching
is an effective way of developing leaders
for our Sydney management development
clients and Australian management development
clients.
Management Development in Australia
Corporate Learning has experience using
feedback tools such as 360 degree and
self-reporting questionnaires over many
years with our Sydney management development
clients and in management development
across Australia. We use a variety of
questionnaires and help our clients
select the most appropriate tool for
their needs. Or we will use a client's
own feedback tool.
A critical step in the process following
the feedback of the 360 degree report,
is that the individual prepares a comprehensive
Development Plan. We assist our clients
in this process to select suitable activities
to meet their needs, either in the present
role or in preparation for future roles.
Features of an effective 360 degree
feedback activity from our Sydney
management development and Australian
management development programs are:
-
The process is
a development opportunity (rather
than performance assessment) and
is not seen as threatening to the
individual.
-
Identifies specific
development needs for each individual.
-
Provides feedback
to the individual from "above",
i.e. their boss, "below"
i.e. direct reports, and "sideways",
i.e. peers and possibly internal
customers; thus feedback is received
from "360 degrees" around
the individual.
-
Questionnaires
are completed confidentially and
anonymously to ensure honest and
accurate feedback.
-
An experienced
external person receives/accesses
the completed questionnaires, compiles
the reports and gives the feedback
to each individual privately.
-
The report provides
an opportunity for the individual
to compare his/her own responses
with others who responded about
them
-
The report highlights
an individual's strengths as well
as areas for development
-
All participating
individuals are properly briefed
about the program
-
Ideally the questionnaire
is completed on a web site for ease
of collating the responses. This
assists our Australian management
development clients outside of Sydney
but is also convenient for Sydney
management development clients
-
The feedback is
used to prepare a Development Plan
which details activities that the
individual will undertake to improve
performance in their current role
and/or prepare them for a future
role
