The Thin Book of 360 Feedback: A Manager's Guide
by Michelle Leduff Collins
Organizations invest a great deal of time and money in multi-raters and this book helps
maximize the return at the individual level. The book is easy to read yet delivers important,
useful information to the individual participant. Our first sale was for 5000 books, the
organization is giving this book to every participant in the 360 Feedback process! What
makes this book especially exciting is the "Best Practice" approach to understanding the
results. Dr. Collins gives clear instructions on how to conduct follow-up conversations
with others to find out what to do differently. By looking for best practice examples in
the organization, participants learn in a constructive, positive and concrete way what to
do vs. hearing more examples of what they didn't do well. We think this will have a huge
impact on the nature of feedback conversations in all organizations.
The Handbook of Multisource Feedback (Jossey Bass Business and Management Series)
by Brian W. Bracken, Carol W. Timmreck, & Allen H. Church
The Comprehensive Resource for Designing and Implementing MSG Processeses organizations strive to make the best possible
decisions on critical issues such as compensation, succession planning, staffing, and outplacement, they have increasingly
turned to multisource feedback (MSF) for answers. But while use of MSF (or 360-degree) systems has proliferated rapidly,
understanding of its complexities has not-and many companies are moving forward with MSF amid a dangerous void of systematic
research and discussion on this powerful process. The Handbook of Multisource Feedback provides the most comprehensive
compendium available of current knowledge and practice in MSF. The volume's diverse group of contributors-which includes
renowned academics, practitioners, and applied researchers-and represents the acknowledged thought leaders in the current
and future practice of MSF. Through their multiple perspectives, they identify best practices in the design and
implementation of MSF processes and offer key guidelines for decision making when using MSF. The book offers solid grounding
in the nuts and bolts of MSF data collection and reporting, providing a process model that leads the reader step-by-step
through each phase of an MSF system. It details the developmental and decision-making uses of multisource feedback,
describing MSF applications for improving executive development, organization development and change, teams, performance
management, personnel decision, and more. And it addresses the realities of system forces that influence MSF processes,
including legal, ethical, and cross-cultural issues. The Handbook of Multisource Feedback will provide an ideal one-stop
reference for practitioners, researchers, consultants, and organizational clients who need to understand the challenges of
using multisource feedback.
