  • 360s can be career transformative.
  • A 360 almost always goes alongside coaching.
  • 360s are not a performance management tool.
  • If 360s are not done well, they can become dangerous and people are very cautious giving real feedback.
  • Don’t try to figure out who said what. Instead, focus on the overall themes.
  • The results of a 360 generally should not be totally new information for receivers. They’ve probably already heard the feedback before.
