360 degree feedback is a tool which can be used to inform the development and the performance of leaders. It is a method and a tool that provides leaders with the opportunity to receive performance feedback from a range of colleagues including: his or her supervisor, team members (or direct reports), peers, clients or customers. The purpose of the 360 degree feedback is to assist each individual to understand his or her strengths, lesser strengths and development needs. 360 degree feedback can complement the Developing Performance process.
Two recognised, quality 360 degree feedback instruments are:
The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) identifies the underlying thoughts and motivations that guide an individual's behaviour. Often referred to as personal styles, management styles and leadership styles, these represent the essence of an individual's effectiveness.
43kBenchmarks is a 360 degree feedback instrument that provides leaders with a benchmark of how s/he is performing when compared to a standard of excellence.
The Workforce Capability and Performance Unit has personnel accredited to facilitate the use of LSI and Benchmarks.
