360 Degree Style Feedback

Finally, a strengths-based personality feedback assessment that compares “self-ratings” to observer feedback ratings!

• Help people quickly develop self-awareness into their behavior and make productive changes.
• Provide the most critical information leaders and team members need to make lasting changes in their behavior – feedback from others.

The INSIGHT 360º Style Feedback Tool helps you do this easily, quickly, and positively. Users stay open to the input and eagerly make changes.

For personality and behavioral feedback, the INSIGHT 360º Style Feedback Tool is the answer.

• positive and constructive – it keeps the focus on behavior, not the person
• keeps all results open – creates a positive team atmosphere and constructive conversations
• recognizes that all people’s perceptions are “right.” Just as participants have their perceptions of themselves, observers also have a right to their perceptions. Perspectives aren’t debated bur rather explored and discussed as helpful information notes that the feedback ratings often say as much about the observers as they do about the recipients – people with extreme scores tend to see others through colored lenses – again everyone is right
• promotes conversation and discussion – keeps the focus of the process on discovering differences in perceptions, exploring why, and discussing how this impacts communications and identifying more productive patterns.

Users will

• learn how others perceive their behavior
• benefit from productive, non-threatening conversations with each observer
• focus on how the feedback can help them improve communications
• learn not to take themselves too seriously, but instead relax and enjoy learning how they are seen through others’ eyes
• develop the mindset of open communication and trust
• identify specific ways to change their behavior to improve communications

It isn’t just about the participant, it’s also about the observers

With other systems observers complete the forms and never hear back – often wondering if they have been misunderstood or “found out.” The INSIGHT 360 Style Feedback system recognizes the time and risk observers took by including them in follow-up discussions.

The LINK is the secret!

The INSIGHT Inventory with it’s self-rating personality assessment links directly to the INSIGHT 360º Style Feedback Set and the two of them, when used together, provide a powerful program that helps people better understand themselves and communicate more effectively with others.

Most importantly, the INSIGHT 360 Style Feedback Set links directly back to the section in the INSIGHT Inventory booklet that describes to users how to flex their behavior to better communicate with others. Here now are others (the observers) telling the users how they come across. The next step is a discussion of what behaviors could be changed or “flexed” in order to improve communications.

The 360 Style Feedback is:

• so straightforward and easy to understand that it can be completed and scored in just minutes
• designed so you’ll spend less time explaining the tool and more time applying the results
• positive and focused on strengths so participants are eager to share their results
• backed by reliability and validity data, developed by Ph.D. level psychologist

It includes:

• five INSIGHT personality feedback assessments to be completed by observers
• an easy-to-use guide with instructions for plotting the results and conducting positive follow-up discussions
• space for plotting the five feedback ratings and comparing these to their own self-ratings
• a large cluster profile to plot all the observer ratings on and spot patterns and atypical ratings.

Discussing your coaching clients’ personality profiles based on their self-perceptions goes only part way down the road to self discovery. The core to coaching is helping clients understand and accept how others see them and the impact of this. You can dramatically increase the depth of your coaching sessions by adding 360º Feedback.

• increase self-understanding by comparing self-ratings to feedback results
• help your client improve his/her individual relationships with each of the observers – you can even include them in the sessions
• include personal style feedback from spouses and family members – this may help you uncover a whole other side of your client

Most assessments make four BIG mistakes, they:

1. average rater’s feedback results – this causes the critical exceptions in perceptions or biggest problems to disappear within the average – the person receiving the feedback never learns what the extreme perceptions were
2. hide the name of the person giving feedback. This prevents the recipient from having productive discussions with observers and makes the feedback process seem secretive and problematic rather than helpful and constructive
3. separate the person giving feedback from the problem in the communications – if there is tension or misunderstanding around a behavior the recipient has to do all the work and guess who said it and what to do to correct it – or more likely as what happens with most – just wonder about it for a while and then forget it as something that can’t be changed
4. leave the observers out of the process – observers (those completing the feedback ratings on someone else) often never hear back regarding their results or how they are being used. The INSIGHT Style Feedback Set includes observers in follow up discussions, honors their feedback, and closes the loop.
