ASSESS 360° Feedback Solution
Multi-rater feedback cycles for development and self-awareness
What is ASSESS 360° Feedback Solution?

Why does it matter?
Self-report data has an inherent blind spot — the leaders most in need of a wake-up call about their blind spots are often the least likely to self-identify them. Atwater & Yammarino's (1992) self-other rating agreement research found this gap itself predicts leadership effectiveness, which is exactly what multi-rater 360° feedback is designed to surface.

Frequently asked questions
How many raters do we need for a valid cycle?
We recommend at least 3-4 raters per relationship category (excluding self and manager, which are single-rater) to protect anonymity and improve reliability of peer and direct-report feedback.
What's the difference between this and the Manager 360° Companion?
The Companion is a lightweight, 12-item single-rater check from one manager; the full 360° Feedback solution runs a complete multi-rater cycle across all relationship types for a comprehensive view.
