What Is a 360 Assessment?
A 360 Assessment is a powerful leadership development tool that gathers confidential, anonymous feedback from a full circle of people around a leader—supervisors, peers, direct reports, and sometimes even clients or board members. The leader also completes a self-assessment, allowing for valuable comparison between self-perception and how others experience their leadership.
Unlike traditional top-down performance reviews, 360 feedback provides a multi-dimensional view of a leader’s strengths and growth areas across competencies such as communication, decision-making, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and collaboration.
How a 360 Assessment Benefits Leaders, Teams, and Organizations
For Leaders:

Why Use a Coach with 360 Assessments?
As a professional coach, I guide leaders through the entire 360 process—from selecting the right tool, interpreting feedback, and making sense of the data, to creating and executing a meaningful development plan.
With coaching support, 360 feedback becomes a transformational experience—not just a report. Leaders gain clarity, take focused action, and grow with confidence.
