FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is 360 Degree Feedback?

A structured process that gathers confidential feedback on an individual’s behaviour and impact from the people around them — managers, peers, direct reports and sometimes clients — to build a rounded, honest picture.

How many observers should participate?

Typically eight to twelve, across a mix of relationships — enough for balanced, anonymous feedback without overloading raters or the individual.

Is feedback confidential?

Yes. Individual responses are anonymised and aggregated so people can be candid, and results are shared through a supportive, facilitated conversation.

Should it be used for appraisal?

We strongly recommend keeping 360 feedback developmental. Linking it to pay or ratings undermines the honesty that makes it valuable.

Let’s talk

Give your leaders the honest feedback they need

Whether you’re launching a new 360 Degree feedback programme or improving an existing one, White Cube Consulting helps design processes that build genuine self-awareness and lasting leadership development.
