360 Degree Surveys: Mistakes Managers Make

360 Degree Feedback: Mistakes Managers Make and How to Avoid Them

Ask any manager what he or she just hates to do and very likely you’ll hear "performance reviews." If it doesn’t make number one on your list, you can bet it is in the top three.

Single source evaluations, the traditional once-a-year performance review (if employees are lucky to get that), are not only dreaded but ineffective too. Studies consistently show that nearly every employee receives ratings higher than their actual performance using the single source evaluation.
