...The 360 degree feedback assists in this development through two fundamental objectives. The first objective is on an individual level. For the individual, the process provides leaders with unique data perspectives of their abilities as viewed by their peers, subordinates, those in supervisory roles, and self-examination. The best use of these data for individuals is to design a personal development plan to address areas of concern surfaced through the assessment. The second objective is to improve overall organizational performance. As an organization’s leaders develop their abilities to work, manage, and lead, the performance and attitudes of corresponding workgroups will improve. Therefore, the entire organization stands to benefit as individuals improve. To assist you in this process, your personalized 360 Feedback Report contains the following elements: This Introduction to the 360 Explanation of 360 Leadership Roles Interpretation of the 360 Data Your Overall 360 Profile Role Comparison Scores and Item Score Breakdown Open Ended Question Listing Appendix A - All Scores Summary Appendix B - Personal Development Planning 360 Leadership Roles Communicator Leader Manager Facilitator Professional The data are grouped into five roles (Communicator, Leader, Manager, Facilitator and Professional) to provide a framework for understanding the information.
