As we enter performance review season, our focus naturally gravitates towards evaluating individual performance from a top-down perspective. In doing so, we tend to overlook the fact that our leadership teams require coaching and investment, too.
Investing in Leadership Capability
The importance of ensuring leadership capability aligns with the demands of our ever-changing business landscape cannot be understated. Put simply, investing in leadership development is not just a nice-to-have, it’s a need-to-have. The evidence is clear. Effective leaders turbocharge performance, improve team dynamics, and drive business success. But how can you truly gauge your leaders' effectiveness and identify areas for growth? A 360 degree review could be the answer.
The Power of Feedback From All Angles
360-degree reviews provide a comprehensive view of an individual's leadership performance by soliciting feedback from different perspectives - including peers, direct reports, and even customers. This holistic approach gives us a clearer understanding of leadership effectiveness and highlights areas for growth.
What sets 360-degree feedback apart as a powerful tool for leaders is its ability to provide your leadership team with a mirror to their professional selves. It sheds light on how their behaviour and style may be perceived and have different impacts across the organisation.
From uncovering discrepancies between self-perception and others' views to identifying specific strengths and areas for growth, the 360-degree review delivers actionable feedback that leaders can leverage to enhance their effectiveness and support personal development.
Cultivating a Culture of Trust and Growth
There are also benefits to the wider team. Implementing 360-degree reviews signals that we value and support our leaders' growth, and fosters a culture of trust, open communication, and mutual respect within the organisation. By encouraging regular feedback from multiple perspectives, we create an environment that feeds personal development, drives team collaboration, and enhances overall performance.
