manager feedback operate on the principle that self-awareness and meaningful feedback are catalysts for personal growth. An accurate understanding of one’s strengths and weaknesses along with the motivation for self-improvement and appropriate strategies for professional development will often lead to success. But individuals don’t always know where they are falling short or what they need to work on. Multi-rater surveys also known as 360 degree assessments not only include a self-appraisal on various competencies, they also include feedback from peers or coworkers, one or more supervisors, direct reports and/or customers. Because of the multiple viewpoints, 360 degree surveys give a comprehensive view of an individual’s strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement.
