High Quality assessments Gla360, Thomas Ppa network
High Quality leadership team coaching services? Why the name 360-degree feedback? In any work environment, usually, the feedback flows from top to bottom. Most employees get feedback from their direct managers about their performance and behaviors. So we can call this feedback unidirectional or from a single rater or a single source. The boss’s perception can be inaccurate or biased. In contrast, the 360-degree feedback comes from all directions. The word 360-degree refers to “all-around” or all directions as there are 360 degrees in a circle. For any employee, the 360-degree feedback is solicited from people who work above, below, and across the employee. These are bosses (above), subordinates (below), and peers (across). Sometimes, 360-degree feedback can also include vendors or customers.
Insider expertise : Team members should be in a position to provide expert advice and an insider view of each other as it relates to their business, their people, and their team culture challenges. They become de facto coaches. Coaching is a leadership skill : Some organizations use coaching as an ‘executive intervention’ or to ‘fix a problem’, but this is a suboptimal approach to coaching. Coaching is a leadership skill and leaders in organizations should be skilled coaches to help their teams develop and grow. Same as we expect effective leaders to be highly skilled in e.g. communication, decision making and empowerment, leaders should be highly skilled in coaching others. TEAM coaching is a great program to instill coaching as a leadership skill in the organization.

Is leadership important to an organization’s performance? What is the relationship between the performance of an organization and the quality of its leadership? This is the question that I will try to answer in this article. How much of your capability or potential do you get to use at work? If we count your total potential at 100%, how much of it do you get to use at your job? Is it 10%? 25%? 50%? 90%? Or a full 100%? Think about it for a moment and just give the number that comes to mind. What is your answer? Over the years, I have asked this question to thousands of participants who have gone through my leadership training or coaching programs – and the average comes to roughly 50%!

In 2004, Marshall Goldsmith and Howard Morgan reviewed a variety of leadership development initiatives in eight large multinational companies. It was a comprehensive study of over 86,000 leaders and executives globally, at these eight multinational companies. Although the desired outcome for all companies was identical – sustained change in behavior at work – they used a variety of tools and approaches. It included classroom-based training vs. on job practice, short-duration training vs. long-term interventions, coaching vs. mentoring, internal trainers and coaches vs. external trainers or coaches, etc.
