The Manager Effectiveness 360 template enables managers to collect multi-dimensional feedback on their management skills from their own manager(s), peers, and direct reports. It is designed to create a holistic view of a manager's strengths and opportunities for development.
Science Behind the Survey
This template is built on a foundation of contemporary leadership theory and practical feedback frameworks. It combines elements from established research, including portions of our Oxygen, EVOLVE, and Leadership 360 templates, to highlight the specific skill sets associated with effective people management. The survey is structured to encourage self-awareness by prompting both the recognition of strengths and the identification of areas for improvement.
How It Differs from Other Templates
Unlike the Individual 360 or Leadership 360, this template is purpose-built for team managers. It refines or adapts question areas to be more relevant for this population, including skills like accountability, coaching, change management, technical skills, and a manager's role in supporting work/life balance and inclusion. The question set is a mix of new, adapted, and proven items, focusing on practical value rather than more traditional leadership qualities.
When to Use It
This template is recommended for managers seeking actionable insights into their effectiveness and impact, particularly when nuanced feedback from multiple sources is valuable. It is well-suited for regular development cycles or moments of organizational change when managers want direct guidance for growth. The results can be used for individual growth, development planning input, as a coaching tool, or as part of a leadership program.
