strengths assessment

For many years a large proportion of global organisations have been using the 360/multi-rater approach to giving feedback for coaching, development and learning. But how effective are they? What does an effective 360 look like? When should we be applying qualitative or quantitative 360s? In this podcast Caitlin and Amanda look at the science behind robust and valid 360 measures and how they should be effectively applied. They also look at the risks of misusing 360 instruments and some of the mistakes organisations make embarking on 360 programmes. Finally they close with the benefit of 360s to help build the business case with key stakeholders.

Why should your organisation consider having a strengths-based culture? Dr Amanda Potter with her host Angela Malik explore how strengths play a critical role in both personal satisfaction and organisational success in an inclusive environment.  They discuss the importance of diversity in the context of organisational culture with examples how certain companies holding onto corporate traditions see significant problems in their business. As usual, the topics will be approached from a psychological and neuroscientific perspective as well as through personal and professional experiences.
