Rationale for 360 degree feedback
Page 15
Rationale for 360 degree feedback 1 of 3
360 degree feedback can become a powerful organizational intervention to increase awareness of the importance of aligning leader behavior, work unit results and customer expectations, as well as increasing employee participation in leadership development and work unit effectiveness
Page 16
Rationale for 360 degree feedback 2 of 3
360 degree feedback recognizes the complexity of management and the value of input from various sources-it is axiomatic that managers should not be assessing behaviours they cannot observe, and the leadership behaviours of subordinates may not be known to their managers
Page 17
Rationale for 360 degree feedback 3 of 3
360 degree feedback calls attention to important performance dimensions that may hitherto have been neglected by the organization360 degree feedback can overcome biased appraisals because the organization is not relying on one person’s view and the inherent prejudices he or she may have

Central principles to adopt
Page 19
Central principles to adopt 1 of 2
The questions set are short, clear and relevant to the person’s jobThe respondents are credible to the recipient (in many instances recipients choose the respondents)respondents are given guidance about the information they should be providing, for example asking for specific examples of certain behaviours or only providing comments that can be supported with evidence
Page 20
Central principles to adopt 2 of 2
Feedback is only given by individuals trained to give it
Page 21
Questionnaire wording
Page 22
Questionnaire wording 1 of 2
Questions should be relevant to the recipient's jobIf they are not, the recipient will not be motivated to change or indeed understand which changes are requiredEach question should be concise, use plain English, and omit qualifiers, such as ’when appropriate‘ and ’as necessary‘Vague, complex questions rarely produce clear feedback
Page 23
Questionnaire wording 2 of 2
Each question should relate to a clearly-defined competency and follow a uniform structure, as muddled competencies make for muddled feedbackQuestions should set clear and appropriate standards, for example ’makes decisions‘ is a poor criterion as the decisions made could be unclear, late, autocratic or wrong

Page 25
Benefits of online 360 degree feedback 1 of 3

Page 26
Benefits of online 360 degree feedback 2 of 3
Data entry settings can also improve the quality of feedback by, for example, requiring that a minimum number of questions are answered and stipulating minimum percentages of critical and positive feedbackReports are available online; answers can be collated instantly, so reports are immediately available and up-to-date, while they can also include comparison with previous feedback

The amount of administration required is much reduced as individuals can be responsible for managing their own feedback, requesting feedback and chasing late questionnairesDemographic information can be collected and fed into the production of summary reports
