A Clear Picture: 360-Degree Feedback Group Profile
Posted by Charles Rogel on Mon, Feb 01, 2010 @ 11:14 AM
A picture is of little value if it's blurry. CEOs often struggle to get a clear image of their leadership bench strength and how to improve leadership team performance. The picture is usually fuzzy.
Senior leaders need a crisp view of their team's strong competencies along with an understanding of the weaknesses of a team. Having a clear picture allows for improved team development.
The key is to use 360 surveys to spot leaders who are top performers as opposed to only identifying individuals that need development. When you only identify the weak spots, it's a blurry picture.
Using a group profile to evaluate scores from individual 360-degree feedback surveys helps identify the leadership teams' strongest competencies as well as critical derailers that could sabotage the organization's success. Gap analysis of 360-degree feedback surveys contrasts leaders who are a "legend in their own minds" with those who are overly humble by comparing self-perceptions to the perceptions of peers. Self-awareness is a critical component and a strong indicator of leadership success.
A group profile of 360-degree feedback surveys provides vital information that senior leaders can use for talent management, succession planning, leadership development, and performance management. It presents a level of clarity and insight that CEOs need in order to make better people decisions that will increase organization performance.
