Performance Appraisals

Here’s a great way for your leaders to gather feedback from sources all around them and learn to work better with their supervisor, peers, and direct reports. 360-degree feedback using SLTI provides the leader and the direct report with a powerful platform to review their supervisor/direct report relationship. How and why the leader has used a specific approach or strategy can be examined, as well as the direct reports perception of the approach or strategy being used.

Few techniques have greater potential to initiate positive behavior change than 360-degree feedback with SLTI. Following discussion of the leader¹s feedback, there is a natural segue into clarifying roles and responsibilities, as well as a review of performance.
