Reviewing Your Own Report:
Remember that:
• 360 feedback is:
• not the complete truth
• a snapshot in time
• data
• You are the expert about you
• Context matters
• Two common mistakes:
to agree or disagree too quickly
Reviewing Your Own Report:
While perceptions may not be the ultimate
truth, they are what people use to make
decisions.
Morrison, White, & Van Velsor,
Breaking The Glass Ceiling (1992)
