I was reading an article today which discussed whether people using 360 degree feedback should be given their report alone or they needed to have someone to hold their hand when given the results of their survey.
Most readers will know that 360 degree feedback - sometimes called multi-rater feedback is a technique whereby a person's work performance is assessed by a group of people who knw that person and something of their work. It tends to be very effective because can you imagine ignoring what people say about you if everybody is saying the same thing? Yeah - OK, well there's the Whitehouse Muppet of course but we know about him.
I was once at an HR trade show where I got talking to a lady who said that most people who work in small companies aren't grown up enough to handle feedback. I always thought that adults were big enough to handle what people think of them. Maybe I was wrong...
