university based 360 feedback

Rationale:
• 360 Feedback at the University level is being increasingly used in coaching, performance management and in-house leadership development initiatives
• Approaches to 360 need to be tailored to University requirements and to the various populations found within Universities
• 360 feedback functions best when it centres on the 'developmental' needs of participants and is then supported by in-house learning opportunities
• Management of 360 feedback systems needs to be performed outside of the University to guarantee confidentiality and an 'arms-length' circumstance

Using questionnaires to provide 360 degree feedback to University personnel requires more than a generic approach. Significant differences occur in the roles played by Administrative Managers, Heads of Schools, Deans and, say Research Heads, and these differences need to be reflected in any feedback instrument used. A tailored TLI is used in these instances.

A university executive requires a different approach again. A tailored Executive Leader Index is used in this case.

The wording of the questions within KRG Consultants' feedback instruments are adjusted from role to role and the questions asked within the Feedback Activity section of the questionnaire (written comments) are also tailored to specific needs. This tailoring has been one of the reasons why this approach has been so effective in University settings.

The 360 feedback is administered via the KRG website. An Australian database provides individuals with benchmark results for each of the competencies and each of the individual questions.
