360 DEGREE REVIEWS

A good 360° review is an essential part of assessing your management team. Feedback from the people working under a manager is highly valuable in determining the true effectiveness of them as individuals and as managers.

Questions to be considered in a review include:

• Could current leadership be responsible for any downturn in business?
• Has your organisations morale and productivity declined?
• Are managers leading at all?

If a manager is not truly leading the people reporting to them, chances are other aspects of business are being allowed to fall behind as well.

This is why leadership and 360° reviews are intrinsically linked; the crux of leadership is being able to inspire, motivate, coach and encourage the people around you. A true review will reveal how well this is being done in your organisation.
