What do you do if your executive coaching program lacks a 360-degree feedback approach?
If you are an executive coach or a leader who wants to improve your performance and develop your skills, you might be familiar with the concept of 360-degree feedback. This is a method of collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources, such as your peers, subordinates, managers, clients, and even yourself, to get a comprehensive and balanced view of your strengths and areas for improvement. However, not all executive coaching programs have a 360-degree feedback approach, which can limit your learning and growth potential. In this article, we will explore what you can do if your executive coaching program lacks a 360-degree feedback approach, and how you can benefit from incorporating it into your development plan.
-
Stakeholder interviews:Engage in one-on-one discussions with key figures identified by the coachee and their organization. This focused approach garners specific insights, aiding personal development when 360-degree feedback isn’t available.
-
Triangulate data:Use existing performance reviews and assessments to supplement coaching. This method provides a well-rounded perspective, allowing for targeted growth even without a formal 360-degree feedback structure.
