How to Discuss 360 Feedback

Giving 360 feedback can be daunting. How will the person respond to it? How can you make it the positive, developmental experience it should be? If you are involved in developing people, it's likely that sooner or later you'll need to have a conversation about a 360 report. This book will show you how to get the best out of that meeting. It will take you through what you are aiming to achieve and help you review the skills you need to succeed.
Filled with practical tips, it shows you what you need to do before, during and after the meeting. Troubleshooting is covered too; you will find answers to many challenges thrown up by a 360 feedback report. What do you do if the feedback is negative? How do you handle it if the person has a higher - or lower - opinion of himself than everyone else has? What if there are no promotion prospects? Or if everything is just average? You'll find strategies for dealing with many potentially difficult situations.
