360 degree feedback

360 degree feedback bridges the gap between what leaders think they know about their leadership, and how those around them actually experience them. For more than 20 years we have been working with leaders at all organizational levels, from the front line to the c-suite to help them identify blind spots, confirm strengths, and become more effective in every aspect of their role.

A successful 360-degree feedback program involves more than just choosing the right method or tool, although this is essential. It also requires creating a supportive environment, guiding participants through the process, choosing raters, and crafting insightful questions that provide valuable feedback and insights, maximizing the return on investment. We provide a variety of feedback collection methods and will help you determine which is most effective for your needs. Our offerings include:

  • Simple and efficient text-based feedback from multiple sources, such as One Question, Start/Stop/Continue, and the 7×7 method.
  • Tool-based 360 assessments, including Emotional Intelligence (EQ360), Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI360), and our proprietary MLH360, developed from our leadership competency model.
  • Interview-based 360 assessments conducted by our senior team members, who then compile a comprehensive written report with recommendations for development strategies.

Building on the importance of selecting the right provider for 360-degree feedback, a successful program extends beyond just the choice of tools. It involves cultivating an environment conducive to growth, clearly explaining the feedback process, selecting appropriate raters, and formulating questions that elicit meaningful feedback, thereby enhancing the value of the investment. Our services are designed to adapt to a variety of feedback collection methods, ensuring the most suitable approach for your unique needs.

In addition to offering expert advice on tool and program selection, we also specialize in diverse feedback mechanisms. These range from straightforward, quick text-based feedback methods to more sophisticated instrument-based assessments and in-depth interview-based evaluations, all aimed at fostering personal and professional development. Our approach is informed by extensive experience and a commitment to delivering a process that is not only effective but also respects your time and organizational culture.

The report provides a ranking of all behaviors within the LPI model, along with individual score responses, facilitating the exploration of differences both between and within groups. Additionally, extensive development tools are available.

The MLH360, based on the MyLeadershipHub competency model, is central to the leadership development work at The EQ Development Group. Beyond exploring emotional intelligence, the core of effective leadership, it covers 8 essential leadership skills, from Effective Communication to Cultivating Adaptability and more. it also accommodates up to five open ended/free text responses.
