360 feedback at work - how do you do it?

[ScottishLottie]

I need to do this exercise as part of my development plan but have a total fear that all of my colleagues will give me feedback that crushes me. (I don't think I have any logic for this, I'm just delicate!)

If you do this at work, how do you gather it, what method or template do you use and is it useful? I know I should embrace it but I'm having a tough time mentally st the moment and am dreading reading something that sends me spiralling

No, it's up to us hiw we want to do it. We have some formal ways (ESCI for example) or can ask for it more informally

Can you create a form?

Ask them to complete (anonymously if preferred) and then tell them where they can leave them

I can "cherry pick", I suppose, but I do understand that the point is to get a range of feedback from the other teams I work with (and I work with a lot)

That's quite strange.
Used a tool called Spidergap to help collect. Think there is a free trial. It was good and you can learn quickly, but I was the intermediary between those giving feedback and the person wanting to have it.

Can you use Microsoft Forms (option to be anonymous if you want)? ETA - for respondents to be anonymous, I mean.

I think stop, start, continue is a good general format but obviously it depends what you are looking to get from the feedback, the purpose of the exercise.

Sorry - is there any reason why you're being so spiky to a stranger on the internet?!

I'm asking for advice, not snarky responses. Please chill!

Hi OP,

I've been through lots of feedback initiatives in my 1000 years in business.

The most thorough was Myers Briggs.

Another was similar to this:

Myers Briggs was very detailed and I disagreed with some of it.

The colours one was pretty accurate and I enjoyed it - it was a bit like a magazine quiz!

The problem with Myers Briggs - imo - along with all feedback from others is it's how THEY perceive you - not necessarily how you actually are.

That's why you're encouraged to get a wide range of people who interact with you, of different levels.
