The 360 degree performance appraisal is the start of a conversation between the manager and the team member. It is based around candid feedback collected anonymously from supervisors, peers and subordinates asking a few key questions. Its accuracy is tied to patterns of comments in response to each of those questions.

If you are not using a 360 process, your company is doing one of two things. You are struggling with some performance review system that few people like or find useful. Or, your company has altogether abandoned any performance review process. And you are no dummy. You are not going to revive a process that no one really supports. Yet, you still kick yourself when you have performance issues and no way to deal with them.
Henry is a real person. This is the way it happened. Henry had been a project manager in the company for two years. In the beginning, people weren't sure exactly how to deal with Henry, so they went along with him even when he was abrasive. Two years down the road, the friction had become visible to everyone, including customers. In spite of all this, Henry's projects consistently came in 5 percent under budget. He was worth saving. His manager had talked to him several times, but Henry just didn't get it.
That's when a 360 degree survey was suggested. Several of Henry's teammates were selected to participate. Anonymously, they responded to specific questions about Henry and his behavior. Henry was shocked. Nothing was new, but now it was coming from his peers, and not just one. On some subjects, the responses were unanimous.
After the 360 review, Henry made three promises to start doing specific things, and three promises to stop doing specific things. Within 48 hours, positive comments about Henry's new behavior began to filter in to his boss. Even his boss was surprised that Henry could make that dramatic change so quickly.
