Yes, nearly every organization says, “People are our most important assets.” But they don’t mean untalented people. – they are a pain in the asset! 6

11. What they mean is that… “Talented People are the Critical Asset”
Of course, what they mean is that “Talented people are the critical asset.” 6

23. Choosing Respondents
Choose people who will provide you honest, useful feedback.
Choose people you have worked with for at least six months.
Choose people with whom you frequently interact.
Typically only one boss participates, you can select a maximum of 3
Except the boss, choose a minimum of 2 respondents from each perspective group to participate (we recommend 4 or 5 per group).
Contact each of your respondents personally before distributing the surveys. Let them know:
you value their perspective.
their responses will be anonymous.
only you will get a copy of the report.
you really do want them to be candid.

24. If You Provide Feedback for Others
Avoid these common errors:
Compatibility error
Perfectionism error
Charisma error
Recency error
Central Tendency error
“One Incident” error
Compatibility error: This is the tendency to give higher ratings to those people who are most similar to ourselves and lower ratings to those people with differing styles than our own, rather than focusing on actual performance.
Perfectionism error: If we have perfectionistic standards of ourselves, we may have unrealistic expectations of others. Hence, we may rate others lower than they deserve.
Charisma error: This is the tendency to rate people who we find of pleasing manner and personality higher than they deserve on everything, not just people skills.
Recency error: If a person does an outstanding job the previous week or day before the Survey is completed, we may not consider his or her performance over the previous months. Hence, we may give higher ratings than are deserved. The reverse is also true.
Central Tendency error: This is the tendency to give a person only “middle of the road” ratings, thus avoiding high or low ratings.
“One Incident” error: This is the tendency to let a single experience (either positive or negative) disproportionately affect the rating that we give a person.

37. Data Privacy Consent form
Part 1
Full Consent Text :
Overview
Many countries around the world have laws and directives which specify how personal data can be collected and used. These were created to help protect people from misuse of personal data. The European Commission’s Directive on Data Protection that went into effect in October 1998 has some of the most comprehensive data privacy laws. In order to comply with the Directive as well as other applicable privacy legislation, we ask everyone filling out a 360 (Multi-Respondent) survey to read the following letter of consent and indicate agreement to its terms. You will only be allowed to participate in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process if you agree to these terms. As described below, the data collected will be retained in the U.S. for purposes of running reports and research. After three years identifying information will be removed and the data archived for research analysis and creation of group reports.
Concerning collection of personal data in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process
Your employer has provided you with the opportunity to participate in a 360 (Multi-Respondent) instrument development program (hereinafter referred to as "360 (Multi-Respondent)") created by Korn Ferry. In connection with the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process, we request you complete the attached survey.
When filling in the survey, you will be asked to provide personal data including: name, gender, career history, skills and education background. This document outlines the conditions under which your 360 (Multi-Respondent) documents and personal data will be collected, processed, used, transmitted, and stored, as well as your right to access and correct these documents and data. Please be sure to print, if applicable and retain a copy of this consent agreement for your records. Failure to consent will exclude you from the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process. If you agree to our use of the information as described below, please click the “I Agree / Enter the Main 360 (Multi-Respondent) Page” link, or sign Section 7 of your answer sheet.
Concerning 360 (Multi-Respondent) instruments
You are taking part in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) program either as a participant in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process or a feedback provider (“Respondent”) for the Participant. 360 (Multi-Respondent) is a tool that provides participants with feedback on their job performance. The participant will learn what opportunities they may have to increase their effectiveness, and they will also discover what their Respondents consider to be their strengths.
The 360 (Multi-Respondent) program consists of three phases: The gathering of personal information about the Participant resulting from online or paper surveys completed by the Participant and his/her designated Respondents; the processing of this personal information by computer to generate a feedback report to help the Participant with their professional development; and the interpretation of the feedback report. The surveys and feedback reports are collectively referred to as "360 (Multi-Respondent) Documents."
Participation in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) program is voluntary. Your employer wishes to assure you that no adverse consequences will result from your decision not to participate in the 360 (Multi-Respondent) program.
The personal information about you contained in the responses to the surveys will be transmitted to the U.S.A. and will be processed and stored confidentially by Korn Ferry, its affiliates and/or companies hired by Korn Ferry to process the data, acting strictly under the direction of Korn Ferry, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. Of course, only authorized personnel of Korn Ferry will have access to this data. The European Commission does not consider the U.S.A. to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. However, as stated in this form, Korn Ferry will ensure the protection of your personal data in accordance with all applicable Safe Harbor principles, data protection and privacy laws and directives.
The processing of your data and responses by computer will generate an individual feedback report. This report will be delivered directly to the Participant by a member of the Korn Ferry group or by a member of your own organization who is certified by the Korn Ferry group to run the program and help with its interpretation. These qualified persons are registered by name with Korn Ferry and are required to ensure confidentiality of all data. If you are completing an online survey, they will have access to limited information throughout the 360 (Multi-Respondent) process, including your name and the status of your survey. Unless you agree in writing, no information about you will be passed to third parties outside of Korn Ferry, its affiliates and agents other than to the certified individuals mentioned above.
Data retention
Your data, along with your name and/or address, will be stored in an electronic database maintained by Korn Ferry for a period of 3 years from the date when the feedback report has been printed. The reasons for keeping the feedback report data on computer in your name for a period of 3 years are to allow Korn Ferry to:
• Re-run the feedback report (e.g., because the Participant misplaced it or because additional surveys may be returned late from the Respondents).
• Facilitate re-use of 360 (Multi-Respondent), in case the Participant wishes to go through the process again at a later date and wants a report comparing the new result to his/her original result.
• Go back to the original data and do several checks to make sure it was entered properly (e.g., if an inconsistency seems to occur in the report).
After the 3-year period in which your feedback report data is stored in your name, that material will be systematically rendered anonymous so that it will not be possible to identify you directly or indirectly. The anonymous feedback report data will be retained on computer for normative and research purposes, allowing Korn Ferry and its agents to:
• Prepare geographical region and/or country normative statistics.
• Disseminate statistical information for research purposes and support ongoing research programs by Korn Ferry (e.g., on differences in managerial competence among countries, organizational levels, etc.).
Korn Ferry conducts research on the data you share with us and complies with all applicable Safe Harbor principles, data protection and privacy laws and directives. Except as noted above, we will not release any information that identifies you but need some way to distinguish you uniquely from others that also allows us to add to your data over time should you participate in other Korn Ferry services/products.
To that end, this 360 (Multi-Respondent) may contain four optional questions that will be used to create a unique identifier which will be matched to your name during the time in which your data is identifiable as being yours. Thereafter, the unique identifier will be used for research purposes without violating your privacy. Again, we use this data only for research purposes and will not release any data that can be used to identify you as an individual. We would appreciate your responses to these questions.
During the time that your personal demographic data is identifiable as being yours, you will have the right to access it at reasonable intervals. If you consider any of your personal demographic data to be incorrect, you will be able to change them at that time. To do this, please contact Korn Ferry Global Products Division, 33 South Sixth Street, Suite 4900, Minneapolis, MN 55402, USA.
Note to Participants: You agree to maintain the privacy of your Respondents as one of the conditions of participating in 360 (Multi-Respondent). Therefore, you will not be allowed access to data that specifically identifies or allows you to identify the Respondent who provided the data. This restriction is imposed in order to maintain the privacy of those who have helped to establish your profile.
If you are a Respondent: Your responses, combined with those of others the Participant has asked to act as feedback providers, will give the Participant feedback about his/her job-related skills. You are asked to answer the questions candidly. If you are completing a paper survey, do not put your own name anywhere on the material unless you are the Participant’s boss. If you are the Participant’s direct report, peer/colleague or customer, your responses will be held in strictest confidence. So that confidentiality is maintained, responses from these Respondent groups will be reported as group data. If you are the Participant’s boss, your ratings will be identifiable in the Participant’s individual feedback report. In the event that more than one boss responds, your name or demographic information will be used to assist the Participant in identifying your ratings.
