Fear of Feedback - Executive Briefing Video Fear of Feedback - Executive Briefing Video

A great way to educate your organization on the value of feedback as you introduce a 360 program.
Featuring: Myra Strober, Professor, Stanford School of Education and Jay Jackman, Psychiatrist and Human Resources Consultant

Program Highlights:

  • How to transform a feedback-aversive environment in your company.
  • How the power differential affects giving and receiving feedback in organizations.
  • Why you need to stop guessing what your boss wants, and actively go out and get the feedback you need.

Giving feedback to your subordinates can improve their performance and make you look better as a leader and manager. Receiving feedback can enhance your career and make your job more rewarding. Yet, in most organizations, there is a two-way conspiracy of silence that subverts honest feedback and causes a downward spiral of maladaptive behaviors: procrastination, denial, brooding, jealousy, confusion, blame and self-sabotage.

Strober and Jackman detail a road map for moving out of the fear and anger that lie beneath these behaviors, and into a mode that encourages open communication. They provide a four-step process for actively pursuing the feedback you need, and methods for giving feedback that allow you to feel comfortable and in control, whether the message is negative or positive.

Dr. Jay Jackman received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his BA from Columbia University. In 1999 he received a JD from the University of California Hastings College of the Law.

Dr. Myra Strober has a BS in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University, an MA in economics from Tufts University and a PhD in economics from MIT.

It may take three or four people to really know one: Why You Need a  360-degree feedback It may take three or four people to really know one: Why You Need a 360-degree feedback

By Kenneth M. Nowack / Reprint permission by ASTD

Many organizations use some kind of 360-degree assessment inventory – called 360-degree because feedback is collected "all around" an employee, from his or her supervisors, subordinates, peers and customers. A 360-degree assessment provides a comprehensive summary of an employee’s skills, abilities, styles, and job-related competencies. The use of 360-degree feedback inventories is increasing for the following reasons:

  • a need for cost-effective alternatives to assessment centers.
  • the increasing availability of assessment software capable of summarizing data from multiple sources into customized feedback reports.
  • the need for continuous measurement in continuous-improvement efforts.
  • the need for job-related feedback for employees affected by career plateauing.
  • the need to maximize employees’ potentials in the face of technological changes, competitive challenges, and increased workforce diversity.

Various 360-degree feedback inventories can be used in a wide range of HRD situations – including supervisory training, management development, assessment centers, succession planning, style and leadership awareness, career development, needs assessment, training and OD evaluation, employee coaching, and personnel selection.

Sources of feedback

Using 360-degree feedback assessments, employees can compare their own perceptions of their skills, abilities, and styles with the perceptions of others. But how accurate are self-reports? And how do they compare with the reports of others?

Studies suggest that in predicting job performance, self-reports tend to be less accurate than peer and supervisory reports. People may give themselves higher ratings on their own skills and abilities than others do. It’s important to recognize this “leniency effect” – particularly in employees who have poor insight into their strengths and weaknesses. Those employees may ignore negative feedback and resist making changes.

The first step in getting employees to change and improve is getting them to accept, in a non-defensive manner, critical feedback from others.

Each of the usual feedback providers – an employee’s supervisor, subordinates, peers, and customers – offers a unique perspective on the employee’s performance and potential. But these feedback sources don’t have equal opportunities to observe every aspect of the way an employee performs his or her job. Consequently, you should consider several factors before selecting people to give feedback.

If you plan to use feedback for an employee’s development, it’s important to gather as many diverse perspectives as possible. For succession planning, an employee’s direct supervisor may provide the only practical and desirable point of view. In some cases, it’s appropriate to ask employees to choose their own feedback providers.

There is no research to support an ideal number of feedback providers. Theoretically, a single accurate and objective appraisal of an employee’s skills, abilities and styles could be helpful. External consultants and suppliers usually call for 4 to 10 feedback providers in their 360-degree assessments. Who gives the feedback is more important than how many.

The goal of a 360-degree feedback assessment should be to give an employee objective, comprehensive, and accurate feedback. When an employee lacks faith in the people giving feedback, he or she may discount or ignore their perceptions.
