360° Feedback
360 Degree Feedback is an assessment process in which you, your managers, your peers, and your direct reports evaluate you based on a set of leadership competencies to provide a customized evaluation of how you perceive yourself versus how others perceive you.
You may have heard of 360 degree feedback, multi-rater assessments, upward evaluations, or peer evaluations. Each of these assessments uses a process in which you evaluate yourself and others evaluate you on a set of criteria. In a 360 feedback process, the "raters" include you, your manager, your peers, and your direct reports.

Tandem Partners Leadership 360 evaluates 11 key leadership competencies, including:
- Accountability
- Business Focus
- Business Partnering
- Coaching
- Communication
- Customer Focus
- Entrepreneurial Orientation
- Integrity
- Managerial Effectiveness
- Personal Effectiveness

After you and each of your raters has completed the 360 evaluation, you receive a customized report showing how you perceive yourself versus how others perceive you. This then forms the basis for continued personal and professional development, usually guided by one-on-one coaching sessions with an executive coach.
