MANSSA 360 – R (Management Skills and Styles Assessment)

Description

No one knows us better than ourselves. However, there are circumstances when we may not be fully aware of our latent talents, and unable to find the gaps in our skills and knowledge. A 360 feedback system is like walking into a house of mirrors: We get to see ourselves from different perspectives, and perhaps learn things about what we reflect back to others.

The goal of a 360 feedback system is to provide insight into your leadership skills and style from the perspectives of those who work most intimately with you. While it can be difficult at times to receive criticism from others, regardless of how constructive it is, recognize that the feedback is offered with the intention to see you grow as a professional.

Make sure to review your results in detail, paying close attention to skills and traits in which others recommend improvement, and any areas in which there are clear gaps between your personal ratings and the ratings of others.

Purpose: MANSSA 360 – R offers managers an opportunity to rate their own performance and compare it to feedback from employees and direct reports. This can be a humbling experience, but it provides leaders with an opportunity to gain insight into whether their current managerial approach is helping or hindering employees from reaching their full potential.
