The completion of 360-degree management feedback will contribute to:
- A thorough and systematic feedback to the individual manager from employees, managerial colleagues, partners and immediate manager
- Dialogue and matching of expectations regarding the managerial task
- Development of a personal action plan
- A common language about leadership at SDU
The data collection for 360-degree management feedback is conducted as a web-based questionnaire (in Danish). Each question is answered by a points system, in which 0 means adequate and +1 and +2 mean too much, while -1 and -2 mean too little.
The questionnaire is founded on the 4 perspectives of SDU’s leadership compass. There are a total of 29 questions. It is possible to provide justifications after each perspective.
For management feedback, the manager, in consultation with their immediate superior, has selected a number of respondents who are representative of the focus person’s interface:
- A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 15 employees with whom the focus person either has the formal competence to hold performance and development reviews or has, e.g. a professional management responsibility towards, on the basis of the following principles:
- That different staff groups and functions are represented.
- That a real reflection of the employee group’s gender composition is ensured.
- That both experienced and new employees participate.
- That the respondents have knowledge of the focus person and assess that the respondents can provide qualified feedback on the person’s leadership.
- 3-6 management colleagues and/or partners. The word colleague is understood here in a broad sense, e.g. it can be a peer and/or professional colleague or other sparring partner. Partners can be both internal and external.
- Immediate superior.
