The feedback an individual receives from a 360-degree appraisal process is incredibly powerful. But why?
To be given the opportunity to understand how you are perceived in the workplace is the most convincing method of helping individuals gain a rounded insight into their own behaviour. The experience of receiving anonymous feedback from a wide range of colleagues and being told what effects your actions are having on others and on the organisation as a whole can be a pivotal turning point in the way leaders and managers act and conduct themselves.
Why is this important to your business? Well, according to recent evidence published by Hay-McBer, the most significant factor affecting business performance is the 'climate' within the organisation, and of all the factors that impact on that climate, leadership behaviour is the most critical. As such is it vital that leaders and managers really understand the ramifications of their behaviour, and the effect it is having on the business.
