Becoming a great leader doesn’t just happen — it’s shaped by how we grow, respond to challenges, and learn from others.But here’s the truth: though most of us work hard at learning and growing, we still have blind spots. That’s where 360° Feedback comes in.At Leadership Works, we believe that self-awareness is the starting point for confident, fair, and effective leadership. And there’s no better way to build that awareness than by asking: How do others experience my leadership?<h3 id="8f24e078-b86f-4542-abf7-9ee1514aadde" data-toc-id="8f24e078-b86f-4542-abf7-9ee1514aadde" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">💬 What Is 360° Feedback?</h3>360° Feedback is a powerful tool that gives you a complete view of how you show up as a leader.Unlike traditional top-down feedback (from your manager only), a 360 lets you hear from everyone around you:<ul><li>Your team members</li><li>Your colleagues</li><li>Your managers</li><li>Yourself</li></ul>That’s why it’s called 360° — it’s a full-circle perspective.<hr><h3 id="7223303e-8771-4556-b723-417d03a9540c" data-toc-id="7223303e-8771-4556-b723-417d03a9540c" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">💡 Why It Matters for New Leaders</h3>Early in your leadership journey, it’s easy to second-guess yourself or try to be someone you’re not. You might wonder:<ul><li>Am I being clear enough?</li><li>Do my team members trust me?</li><li>Am I supporting others - or micromanaging without realizing it?</li></ul>360° Feedback helps answer those questions with real input — no guesswork or fantasies. It shows you:<ul><li>Your leadership strengths</li><li>Where others see room for growth</li><li>What behaviors are helping (or holding you back)</li></ul>This kind of feedback can be hard to hear — but it’s also incredibly empowering.<hr>✨ “Before I used the 360° tool, I felt unsure of how my team really saw me. I was working hard, but something felt off. After going through the process, I realized I was unintentionally holding back trust — and it was affecting morale. Since then, I’ve shifted how I delegate and check in, and the energy in the team has changed. We’re more open, more connected. I finally feel like a real leader.”— New Leader, 360° Feedback User<hr><h3 id="72f112ae-cf1a-4f2a-8b8d-5dfa775f25ff" data-toc-id="72f112ae-cf1a-4f2a-8b8d-5dfa775f25ff" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">✅ A Simple Process</h3><ol><li>Choose your feedback circle — team, peers, managers</li><li>Send short, focused questions (we'll give you the template in the tool!)</li><li>Review responses anonymously</li><li>Reflect on strengths, patterns, and action steps</li><li>Plan for change — and follow up with your team</li></ol>You also get:<ul><li>Common pitfalls (like what to do when feedback hurts)</li><li>Reflection questions to guide your next steps</li><li>A strengths-based mindset — not just “fixing flaws.”</li></ul><hr><h3 id="d25f51f2-34bf-42ee-97cc-fd8cc083fb36" data-toc-id="d25f51f2-34bf-42ee-97cc-fd8cc083fb36" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">🚫 Don’t Fall Into These Traps</h3>If you do a 360, don’t just collect feedback and file it away. Watch out for:<ul><li>Getting defensive or shutting down</li><li>Over-focusing on a single comment</li><li>Making no changes (and losing trust)</li><li>Forgetting to say “thank you” to your team for their honesty</li></ul><hr><h3 id="828403b1-af68-4ed2-b82d-fe7fb8b92f75" data-toc-id="828403b1-af68-4ed2-b82d-fe7fb8b92f75" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">🌱 Ready to Grow Further?</h3>You can’t improve what you can’t see. 360° Feedback gives you that visibility — and the chance to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://apps.apple.com/se/app/leadership-works/id6747974638">🔗 Download our app to try our FREE Tool</a>And if you’re ready for even more tools, support, and a leadership community — check out our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://apps.apple.com/se/app/leadership-works/id6747974638">Professional Membership Plan</a><hr>You don’t have to lead alone.
