Key Takeaways for Health Leaders Considering 360 Feedback
If you’re a health leader or aspire to become one, here are a few points to consider when choosing a 360 feedback tool:
- Look for Evidence-Based Tools
Choose a tool that’s based on rigorous research, ideally one that’s been tested in healthcare settings. Evidence-based tools ensure that your feedback is relevant and aligned with the best practices that drive team success. - Focus on Behavioural Feedback
Tools that emphasise behaviours over traits or personality preferences provide actionable insights. This approach enables you to adjust specific actions and interactions to better meet your team’s needs. - Embrace Both Positive and Negative Blind Spots
Be open to discovering your strengths and areas for growth. Recognising both helps you lead with greater authenticity and confidence, benefiting both you and your team. - Use Feedback to Foster Psychological Safety

Think about whether your feedback process captures the full picture of your impact, both positive and areas for growth. - What steps could I take to uncover any negative blind spots that may be affecting my leadership, and how can I create a supportive environment for honest feedback?
Reflect on feedback systems in place and how they might be improved to foster a balanced understanding of your strengths and areas for development. - How can I make time to engage more deeply with my team, balancing my day-to-day responsibilities with the need to connect and support them as individuals?
Consider practical ways to integrate more team engagement into your routine, such as weekly check-ins, informal feedback sessions, or team-building opportunities.
