What We Believe…
360-degree feedback is an extremely complex process that requires dozens of nuanced decisions in its design and implementation. (Bracken and Rose, 2011)
Validity for 360 feedback processes: Sustained, observed improvement in behaviors valued by the organization. (Bracken, Timmreck, Fleenor & Summers, 2001)
…we believe that 360 feedback is the key to improving the quality and effectiveness of performance management in organizations today. (Bracken and Church, 2013)
…we propose that 360 feedback has come of age and it is time for organizations to fully utilize its potential for driving individual performance and broader culture change. (Bracken and Church, 2013)
Feedback without alignment may not only be irrelevant but it may also take away our dignity. (dwbracken.wordpress.com 12/30/15)
We can’t create effective manager-coaches if we aren’t clear as to what they look like, and then select, train and reward accordingly. (dwbracken.wordpress.com 11/2/15)
Performance Management is not going away, and we need to continue to find ways to make it more effective. (dwbracken.wordpress.com 9/16/15)
