Selecting Your Reviewers

Tips to choose and invite colleagues to give 360 feedback

How to select your reviewers

Ensure that the reviewers are familiar with your work behavior/performance.

  • A person must have sufficient experience working with you to provide valid responses.

Ensure that a cross-section of reviewers is selected. 

  • Selecting people who have had a wide variety of experiences with you (i.e., good and not so good, various projects, etc.) will provide a more balanced and complete “picture” of strengths and areas for further development.

Ensure you select enough reviewers to ensure a truly multi-dimensional feedback.

  • AceUp suggests a total of 8-12 people (and a minimum of 6) across the various categories.

You should work with your Direct Manager and any other Key Stakeholders to align on a list of reviewers for your 360.

     

    Notify selected colleagues

    Once you have a curated list of reviewers, we highly recommend that you notify them regarding your 360. Here is an email template that you could use.

     
    Dear [NAME],
     
    I'm writing to request your feedback as part of a 360 feedback process that I'm embarking upon with the aim of enhancing my leadership abilities. I truly appreciate your participation in this process. You will receive a link to the 360 survey from no-reply@aceup.com on [DATE] to record your input.
     
    Please see additional details below:
    • Please know that your answers will be shared anonymously. That means your comments will be shared with me, but your name will not be attached to them.
    • Honest appraisals create the foundation for strong leadership development, so I sincerely ask that you share your thoughts fully in the spirit of this constructive process.
    • Further, please know that email addresses are only used to track participant participation. I'd love to achieve 100% participation to learn from as many of my team members as possible.
    If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out. I truly appreciate your time and participation.
     
    Sincerely,
    [NAME]
