Using 360-Degree Feedback for Coaching Success

Session Title: Using 360-Degree Feedback for Coaching Success

Betty Parker

For many leaders, 360s can be a frustrating experience. At best, open-ended comments can be unfocused and unhelpful. At worst, they’re a way to anonymously take a jab at a colleague. And ultimately, they can even derail the learning process.

In this session, participants will learn how they can give focused, balanced, constructive feedback--that the leader can actually use.  Coupled with effective coaching tips and techniques, this session will share a unique survey tool that takes the sting out of giving and receiving 360-degree feedback.

What you will learn:

• Learn about a new 360 tool that will take the drudgery out of performance feedback.
  
  
• Practice three techniques for coaching employees who have taken a 360 survey.
  
  
• Create ways to "sell" employees on the usefulness of receiving 360-degree surveys for their success.
