Our podcast about the science of business!
At Omnicor, we’re driven to understand as much as possible in the current organisational and people development space. Each episode will feature fascinating guests who will share tools and the latest thinking to help grow your own career or improve your team or business.
We created this series because 360 sounds daunting if you have never been through one. You get an email, you are not sure who sees what, and you have no idea what happens to your answers. So, we are working through the journey phase by phase, in plain language, for people with no experience of it.
In this episode Colleen McLintock invited her colleague Allayne Hewson to join her. Allayne is our senior IOP consultant in the OD team and she facilitates 360 feedback regularly.
A 360 is a systemic change process. It asks the individual to introspect and review how they are doing, and it requires the organisation to set the process up meticulously and with integrity, to ensure psychological safety so that the investment pays dividends. Most of what makes a 360 work, or not work, happens long before anyone opens a report. It is preparation, communication and trust.
This episode is about how to get ready for your own 360, so that none of it comes as a surprise.
🔍 In this episode we explore:
What to do first when your 360 launches, and how long the full process takes
How many people to nominate, and who they should be
What makes a good rater, and whether to include the person you find difficult
What to do when your team is too small to make up the numbers
Why your own self-assessment comes first, and the trap of rating yourself
What happens to your answers, and why the report is not emailed to you in advance
What it means for your report when raters do not complete
What the feedback session is like, and whether to bring your manager or coach into it
What to do when you disagree with what you are seeing
Whether strengths get the same attention as the gaps
What the first week after the session should look like
What separates the people who act on their feedback from the people who do not
