Many organizations support their leaders with PD talks and other types of feedback. Still, the higher leaders climb the career ladder, the less feedback they get. Winners often find it valuable to supply managers with a 360-degree feedback. A systematized feedback from subordinates, peers, boss and customers creates a full-fledged picture of how the person is perceived both considering individual growth and the organization’s monitoring of target alignment.
A 360 degrees feedback is usually experienced as a valuable and appreciated tool to support the managers' personal development. It provides a spectrum of perceptions - all of them giving an idea of how people around the leader in fact look upon her or him -independently of the best intentions.
