KEY POINTS All raters are anonymous except for the “manager” Online administration uses passwords to protect confidentiality (Internet administration) No line or bar graphs are shown unless at least two raters respond in a rater category (anonymity protection) The summary feedback report is shared only with the respondent and is intended for development purposes only The respondent decides how much of the summary feedback report he/she wants to share with others Confidentiality of the 360 Feedback Process

KEY POINTS Sales Manager View 360 uses average scores based on the 1 to 5 “positive response” frequency scale (Almost never, Infrequently, Sometimes, Frequently, Almost Always) The bar graphs summarize self and other perceptions on each of the 17 separate competencies The legend to the right of the graph will summarize average score and number of raters for each category Range of scores for each rater group are graphed Sales Manager View 360 Graphs Self-Other Perceptions
Sales Manager View 360 Self-Other Perceptions
KEY POINTS The “Most Frequent” section and “Least Frequent” section summarizes those competencies and behaviors that were most frequently/least frequently observed by various rater groups The number in the first column corresponds to the average score for all raters providing feedback (1 to 5 scale) The “Most Frequent” should be considered as perceived strengths to leverage and build on The “Least Frequent” should be considered as possible behaviors to practice more frequently Sales Manager View 360 Most Frequent/Least Frequent Section
KEY POINTS Each Sales Manager View 360 question is summarized and categorized in its appropriate competency Average scores across all raters are reported for each competency and question A statistical measure of rater agreement based on the standard deviation is reported as a percentage—a score less than 50% suggests that the raters providing feedback had enough disagreement to warrant a cautious interpretation of the average score reported (e.g., raters had diverse perceptions and rated the participant quite differently on that question or competency) Sales Manager View 360 Behavior Summary
KEY POINTS Three open ended comments: Doing More, Doing Less, Doing Differently Comments are randomly listed by all raters who volunteered to share written perceptions to two open- ended questions (perceptions of strengths and development areas) Comments are provided verbatim from the online questionnaire—no editing Some comments are specific, behavioral and constructive—others may be less useful or hard to understand It is important to focus on themes that emerge, rather than, to dwell on any one individual comment Sales Manager View 360 Written Comments Section
Sales Manager View 360 Feedback Report Questions to Consider Do I understand my Sales Manager View 360 feedback report? Does it seem accurate/valid? Is the feedback similar or different for the different rater groups? Are the areas perceived by others for development relevant to my current or future position? Am I motivated to change?
