The Benefits

Leaderskill Group's 360 degree feedback surveysRelease the power of your people! 
360 Facilitated® Leader/Manager Surveys™ generate appreciation of their efforts, their contributions, and encourage their effectiveness and loyalty. The organisation enhances its ability to operate successfully in an ever changing world, and obtain market advantage and profitability.

The impact of the team-facilitated surveys is to:

  • Develop enthusiastic and productive teams.
  • Open up communication between team, manager and peers. Problems are discovered that affect productivity but may never have been addressed before. 
  • Obtain buy-in from the team. Once their ideas have been seriously considered, team members listen more willingly to what is asked of them, and give more of themselves.  Ownership means innovation, accountability, continuous improvement, increased productivity, less stress, and high morale.
  • Provide your people with a low threat feedback system that is easily accepted, enjoyed and respected at all levels, and boosts morale.
  • Accurately identify learning requirements for managers and teams.
  • Align the organisation, communicating direction and changing culture.
  • Provide benchmarks and statistics on requirements for change, linked to norms for Australian and overseas managers.

In addition, the surveys:

  • Ensure discussion of the full range of behaviours in areas of Leadership as well as Management, and develops a language common to all
  • Result in action plans and with built-in monitoring to ensure completion and satisfaction of team and manager
  • Can be applied equally with Cross-Functional and Self-Managed Teams
  • Promote the Learning Organisation with development at every level
  • Result in actions to redefine roles, create learning programs, including coaching and mentoring, and aligning with the manager's manager.
  • Bring about development for all staff, including training in fast group problem-solving, mapping of ideas, and ways to give and receive feedback.
