Your organization is growing, experienced leaders are approaching retirement, and your next layer of management succession is not yet ready fo rthe added leadership responsibilities. A 360 degree feedback instrument is designed to reflect ideal leadership characteristics. Feedback is obtained from those people who work with each individual, asummary report is prepared, and a professional coach provides insights, models, and tools to assist each leader in achieving his/her potential. The process begins at the top of the organizatioin and cascades through levels of management, followed by subsequent rounds of feedback on an annual basis. Managers use their feedback to build individual development plans.
Your organization is moving to a high performance work system. Employees have been accustomed to working only in areas of functional expertise, responding to hierarchical requests, and focusing on individual achievement. A 360 degree feedback survey is designed to reflect new skills and behaviors associated with successful high performance workteams (e.g., cross-fucntional teamwork, open communication, and empowered decision making). Members learn how to give and receive feedback during training sessions; feedback is collected from colleagues, customers, direct reports, and supervisors. Action plans are created to improve teaming capabilities. A group summary report provides direction for a corporate training agenda and measures progress over time.
You are an organizational leader facing challenges with your leadership effectiveness and with cooperation among your direct report team. Confidential, in-depth, individual interviews are conducted with a select group of your peers, direct reports, and internal customers to identify themes representing your key strengths and high leverage opportunities. An executive coaching agenda is designed for you, followed by a team feedback meeting to share themes, reinforce strengths, and align on an action plan to turn current opportunity areas into future strengths. You participate in a series of one-to-one consultatioins to bild skills and solve current work challenges.
