Top 4 indicators that tell you whether you are ready for 360

 Not everyone should do a 360 and not every organisation should invest in 360 either. Yet 360 can be a really useful and powerful intervention when used in an organisation that’s ready for it.  It can turn bad performers around and can transform the lowest self-esteem into confidence or the toughest skin into mature self-awareness.

The top four factors that indicate your organisational readiness include:

1. Intention to grow – is your organisation aiming to expand and improve?  An objective to simply maintain your current position and effectiveness will not be sufficient to drive a growth strategy or an intervention like 360 but if you have an ambitious goal then 360 should support you well.

2. Emotional openness – do your leaders have an emotional maturity and a state of mind which means they are open to receive feedback?  As Sigmund Freud said, not everyone is necessarily in a state to “receive insight”.  There needs to be a level of security and stability for enquiry and exploration to be a valuable process.
