360 Feedback and Leadership Frameworks

We work with organisations to use 360 feedback to strengthen how leadership is understood, experienced and applied in practice.

 

This often includes defining, or refining, leadership frameworks and behaviours - ensuring they're aligned with strategy, shaped with leaders, and brought to life through how people lead day to day.

When Do we Partner with Clients? 

Aligning leadership with strategy

When organisations want to connect, or re-connect, leadership behaviours with evolving strategic priorities

Bringing frameworks to life in practice

When leadership frameworks or values exist, but are not yet consistently understood or used day to day

Strengthening leadership consistency

When there is a need for a more shared understanding of what leadership looks and feels like across a leadership community

Building awareness of leadership impact

When leaders want clear insight into how their leadership is experienced as part of their development 

What the work can include

Each piece of work is shaped by your context, but typically includes a combination of:

  • Engaging leaders in shaping expectations, building ownership and a shared understanding
  • Design or refinement of leadership behaviours linked to your strategy and culture
  • 360 feedback survey design and delivery aligned to those behaviours
  • Coaching on the 360 report to support reflection and application of insight in role
  • Using insight at a cohort level to identify themes and inform wider development

The focus is on ensuring leadership behaviours and expectations are not just defined, but understood and used in practice.

Our approach

Everything is designed around your strategy, culture and context.

We use 360 feedback as a development tool, not an assessment exercise, and incorporate coaching to ensure leaders take a balanced view of their report and identify clear, forward-looking actions.

The emphasis is on helping leaders make sense of their feedback and apply it in practice - so it shows up in how they lead and how the organisation delivers on its priorities.

Client Testimonials

This gave us a clearer, more consistent way of working together as a leadership group. As a result, our conversations are more open, more direct and more productive.

Initially, we asked Sweetmans to translate our leadership charter into everyday behaviours, then design and deliver a 360 feedback and coaching exercise for our Exec and senior leadership community. The feedback was incredibly positive and led to further partnership focused on developing the leadership behaviours critical to our future success.

I’ve done a number of 360 and psychometric exercise in my career, I can honestly say this is the best one I’ve ever done. Completely tailored to us and the coaching has helped make it meaningful. 

Get in touch 

If you’re looking to connect leadership more closely to your strategy - and understand how its experienced in practice - we’d be happy to talk through what this could look like in your organisation.
