360 Degree Feedback, or Multi-rater feedback, is an established HR methodology used in organizations across the world. In this book T V Rao and Raju Rao present a jargon-free, pragmatic and intellectually stimulating guide to understanding and implementing this methodology in organizations and also for small groups and individuals.

Simple and engaging, the book presents a fine collection of practical ideas, cases and tools which cover all aspects of 360 Degree Feedback including:

- The effective personality, its role in organizations and various leadership and managerial styles

- 360 Degree Feedback, its basic elements and how it must be used

- the RSDQ model of leadership development, formulated and extensively tested in India

- The critical role of attitude and implementation while using this methodology

- The role of culture and social conditioning in selecting and implementing feedback methodologies

- The role of reflection, review and empowerment post-feedback

- How 360 Degree Feedback can be just as subjective as other assessment tools and it is aggregate feedback and consistency in feedback that makes it more objective.
