What is 360 degree feedback?

360 degree feedback is when people give opinions about how well someone does their job, from many different angles.

Imagine you're playing a game where everyone on your team gets to tell you what they think of how you play. Not just the coach, but also your friends, your opponents, and even the referee! This way, you get a full picture of how others see you.

How It Works

In real life, 360 degree feedback means that not only does your boss give you a report card, but so do your coworkers, your team members, and maybe even your clients. Each person sees different parts of your work, like how well you share ideas or how kind you are to others.

Why It's Useful

Getting opinions from all around helps you see what you're good at, and where you might need to grow. It’s like getting a team review instead of just one person’s opinion. You can learn more about yourself, just like you would if your whole class gave you feedback on how well you did in a project!
