360-degree feedback example: developing team leaders in healthcare

A healthcare organisation wants to develop its team leaders in a targeted way. Not on the basis of one appraisal interview, but on feedback from the people they work with every day. With Deepler 360, team leaders get feedback from their manager, peers and team. Blind spots become the starting point of the development conversation.

Application

360-degree feedback

In brief

The question

How do you develop team leaders based on more than one perspective?

The insight

The difference between self-image and how others see you is the best starting point.

The result

A concrete development goal, and a follow-up round that shows growth.

The question: how do you develop team leaders in a targeted way?

Team leaders in healthcare are under pressure: schedules, staff shortages and high expectations. Development is easily neglected, or gets stuck in general trainings. The organisation wants to know per team leader where the growth lies, based on what the people around them experience.

The approach: 360-degree feedback on your own competencies

With Deepler 360 the organisation chooses a competency profile that suits its team leaders, for example giving direction, coaching and collaborating. Each team leader completes a self-assessment and gets feedback from their own manager, peers and team members.

Report per team leader

With blind spots and conversation questions

The insight: the blind spot as the starting point

The report puts the difference between self-image and how others see you at the top. A team leader who rates themselves highly on giving direction, but gets a lower score from the team, knows exactly what the conversation should be about. The report adds conversation questions, so manager and team leader choose a development goal together.

The result: growth you can demonstrate

After a few months, a follow-up round follows with the same competencies. This makes it visible whether the gap is getting smaller. Development is then no longer a feeling, but something you can track together.

Making 360-degree feedback work: three lessons

360-degree feedback works best as a development tool, not as an appraisal. Three lessons:

Use it for development

Keep 360 feedback separate from appraisal and pay, then people dare to be honest.

Choose one development goal

Focus on the biggest blind spot instead of everything at once.

Measure again

A follow-up round shows whether the development is working.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about 360-degree feedback

With 360-degree feedback, someone gets feedback from several sides: their own manager, peers, team members and a self-assessment. This creates a more complete picture than one conversation.

An example: a team leader rates themselves on competencies such as giving direction and coaching, and the same questions go to their manager, peers and team. The report shows the differences per competency, with the biggest blind spots at the top.

Feedback from peers and team members is shown anonymously and at group level, so people can answer honestly.

Often once or twice a year, with a follow-up round after six to twelve months to make growth visible.

Discuss the biggest differences between self-image and how others see you and choose one development goal together. The conversation questions in the report help to make the conversation concrete.
