One client of me was so touched about what people had written in her 360°. She was actually overwhelmed reading all these positive, nice attributes about her – she had never experienced it in that way. But what is a 360 degree feedback? It’s also called 360° survey. Usually people you know may comment once in a while on things you do well, right? But when you read it in a whole 360° report what people say about you – this is an eye-opener for many.
What is a 360°? It is a personal brand assessment that helps you get to know how you are perceived by those around you.
Who could benefit from a 360°? If you are looking for a new job for example, or if you are looking to optimise work performance or if you are just curious what others think about you.
How could a 360° benefit you? You will receive feedback about your brand attributes (personality, characteristics), skills, leadership competencies, strengths, weaknesses and team roles. It will give you new insights that will help you to build your brand and expand your career or business success. You will discover how your self-perceptions differ from the perception of those around you and how unique you are. You will find out: who you are, where you want to go and what’s important to you.
How is the 360° I offer different from those done in the workplace? It focuses on reputation and not performance, it ensures anonymity of respondents, it is used for development, it’s a true 360° (self, clients, colleagues/peers, employees, friends/ relatives, manager, professor/ teacher/ mentor, other), focuses on the positive, is actionable, is based on corporate branding techniques, is comprehensive (video, exercises, coaching) and it is easy and fun.
I was also pleasantly surprised when I did my first 360°. It was amazing to read what people wrote about me and it is great to have all these comments in one place (20 page report). It helps immense to have a clearer picture about myself and how I am perceived by those around me.
The 360° allows you to recognise and maximise your strengths so you can stand out from the crowd and advance your career.
