Being serious for a moment, it is important to make people feel safe to give honest feedback - in a number of ways. It comes down to process, communication and culture. Get it right, and feedback can be one of your most powerful tools for development. It’s a fascinating idea, Noel. :-)

It is not just the recipient that can get apprehensive at the thought of a 360. It is also the giver. This is, of course to miss the point, both can learn from it. Perhaps we could enhance this to a 540 (720?), where the recipient of the 360 gives feedback to the reviewers on how they gave feedback. Just imagine a virtuous spiral where we all give and receive continuous, and constructive, help and advice. Yes, I know Thomas More had a name for that;) Something to aspire to though.
