A set of slides that I'm using as a baseline when organizing 360 feedback session with the teams that I work with

1. 360 feedback

2. Why 360 feedback?
● Because it’s a team activity and it will bring you closer as a team
● Because it’s useful to know what you’re good at
● Because we’re humans and it’s hard to see personal weak spots
● Because feedback from 6 people gives a better picture than feedback from 1
(your manager)

3. 360 feedback rules
● There are no consequences, you decide what you do with the feedback
● No managers, just team members
● Pair up (1-on-1), you get 8 min as a pair: 2 mins to prepare the feedback, 3
mins for giving feedback to one, 3 min for giving feedback to the other one
● When it’s your turn, give feedback for your partner:
○ 2 things that you appreciate
○ 1 thing that could be improved (focus on behaviors and give concrete examples)
● Be respectful, constructive and honest
● After 8 min, find someone else and repeat
● Own the process, experiment and have fun ;)

4. Giving feedback - guidelines
● It can be about anything regarding that participant
● Make it actionable and useful (the other can do something with it)
● Focus on behaviors rather than the participant
● Support the feedback with concrete examples
● Be brave and honest, but respectful and considerate

5. 360 feedback guidelines
Guidelines are optional, but they might make the 360 feedback process more pleasant for those involved
● Keep the mandatory rules as simple and as short as possible
● Try to get an even number of participants so that you don’t leave out anyone
● Plan the rotation mechanism up front, otherwise, towards the end, you’ll have participants that have
already talked to each other
● Put some post-it and pens around. Some participants might like to take notes
● Own the process means improve as you go, based on what feels better for your pair
● Consider starting with the point to improve as it usually requires more explanation and clarification
● Sometimes it’s hard to come up with feedback in 2 mins, find a way to offer the participants a
chance to can prepare before the session.
● Make it clear that time tracking will be strict. If some participants want to discuss something further,
they can always do so after the session in 1-on-1
