360-degree feedback that reveals leadership from every perspective
Compare self-perception with others’ perceptions, identify blind spots and support the development of your managers – without the need for complex enterprise systems.
easyfeedback automatically analyses the different perspectives and highlights where the greatest areas of agreement and disagreement lie.
Most 360-degree feedback processes provide ratings. The best ones provide clarity.
Many companies carry out 360-degree feedback exercises. The result: figures, charts and competency profiles. Yet the crucial questions often remain unanswered:
- Where are the biggest differences in perception?
- What blind spots are there?
- Where does leadership cause problems?
- Which risks require urgent attention?
- Which stages of development have the greatest impact?
Gathering feedback is easy. The challenge lies in properly understanding the different perspectives and allowing an assessment to take place.
Leadership does not stem from a single perspective. But from all of them.
Every manager is perceived differently. By the …
- … staff
- … colleagues
- … superiors
- … project teams
- … and of himself
It is precisely these different perspectives that provide the most valuable insights for a leader’s personal development.
easyfeedback helps to bring these leadership perspectives to light.
Detect what matters before it escalates.
From feedback to genuine leadership development
Capturing perspectives
Gather feedback on each manager from a variety of perspectives.
Spotting the differences
Automatically analyse similarities and differences between self-perception and how others perceive you.
Promoting development
Receive specific reflection questions and recommendations for action to help your managers develop further.
The most valuable insights often lie between the ratings
It is not the assessment itself that is crucial – but the differences.
If, for example, a manager rates themselves significantly higher than their staff, this provides a valuable impetus for development.
It is precisely these discrepancies that often remain hidden in traditional 360° feedback processes. With easyfeedback, they are automatically brought to light.
What leadership perspectives can be brought to light?
Self perspective
How does the manager view and assess their own abilities from their own perspective?
Team perspective
How do staff members experience their day-to-day working relationship with their line manager?
Peer perspective
How is the manager perceived by colleagues within the company?
Management perspective
How do line managers view and assess the professional and personal skills of the manager in question?
Blind spot signals
In what ways do self-perception and external perception differ significantly?
Development signals
Where does the manager have the greatest potential for development?
Understanding leadership at a corporate level.

… how leadership is perceived within the organisation as a whole
… which leadership strengths are particularly pronounced

How do I create a 360-degree feedback process using easyfeedback?
With easyfeedback, you can create a bespoke 360-degree feedback process easily and without the need for complex enterprise software.
First, you define the competencies, behaviours or leadership traits to be assessed. You then create a suitable survey or use an existing template.
Next, you invite the relevant feedback providers to take part. Typically, these include employees, colleagues, line managers and the manager themselves.
Once the survey is complete, easyfeedback automatically analyses the results and clearly compares the different perspectives. This enables managers to quickly identify where their self-perception matches others’ perceptions and where there are relevant areas for development.
What methods are available for 360-degree feedback?
The best-known method of 360-degree feedback involves assessing a manager simultaneously from multiple perspectives, including self-assessment. This method is the most effective compared, for example, to one-sided observations from a single perspective or workshops that do not provide an individual basis for assessing the manager.
Typically, the assessments come from:
- the manager themselves (self-perception)
- employees
- colleagues
- line managers
Comparing these perspectives provides a comprehensive picture of perceived leadership performance.
Depending on their objectives, organisations can tailor the method to their specific needs, for example by including:
- project teams
- internal clients
- external partners
- other stakeholders
Modern 360-degree feedback software makes it possible to flexibly adapt the assessment method to an organisation’s own requirements and to map out different competency models.
What is the process for a 360-degree feedback exercise?
The 360-degree feedback process generally consists of four steps:
1. Define objectives and competencies
First, the leadership or competency areas to be assessed are identified.
2. Select feedback providers
Next, the individuals who are to assess the manager are identified.
3. Conduct the survey
The selected participants assess the manager using a structured questionnaire.
4. Analyse the results
Finally, the various perspectives are evaluated and compared with one another.
With easyfeedback, this process is carried out entirely digitally. The software supports both the conduct of the 360-degree survey and the automatic analysis of the results.
Should a 360-degree feedback exercise be carried out anonymously?
Yes, in most cases, 360-degree feedback should be conducted anonymously.
Anonymity builds trust and increases participants’ willingness to provide honest and constructive feedback.
Particularly when assessing managers, many employees find it easier to openly highlight strengths, weaknesses or areas for development if it is not possible to identify individual people.
With easyfeedback, 360-degree feedback can be carried out completely anonymously. At the same time, the various perspectives are retained for later analysis, ensuring meaningful results.
In certain development or coaching processes, a non-anonymous approach may also be appropriate. However, this should be clearly communicated in advance and agreed with all those involved.
How is the assessment of managers carried out in a 360-degree feedback process?
In a 360-degree feedback process, managers are assessed using a structured questionnaire.
This involves evaluating various areas of leadership and competence, such as:
- Communication
- Team management
- Decision-making
- Collaboration
- Trust
- Sense of responsibility
- Strategic thinking
You can find examples, questions and sample wording for each of these leadership and competence areas here.
The distinctive feature of a 360-degree assessment is that the manager is assessed from multiple perspectives.
In addition to self-assessment, feedback from employees, colleagues and line managers is also incorporated into the evaluation.
With easyfeedback, these perspectives are automatically compared. This highlights both similarities and differences between the manager’s self-perception and how they are perceived by others.
In addition, automated analyses, reflection questions and recommendations for action help to identify specific areas for development and the manager’s strengths.
What should you look out for when choosing a 360-degree feedback tool or provider?
When selecting 360-degree feedback software or a provider, companies should not focus solely on the way the survey is conducted.
Above all, it is crucial how clearly and usefully the results are presented.
Professional 360-degree feedback software should:
- support individual competency models
- enable flexible questionnaires
- be able to conduct anonymous surveys
- automatically compare self-assessment with others’ assessments
- provide meaningful reports
- offer development insights
- be simple and intuitive to use
Many tools focus primarily on data collection. However, the real added value only arises when concrete insights and development opportunities for managers can be derived from the different perspectives.
With easyfeedback, individual 360-degree feedback processes can be implemented flexibly, and the various perspectives can be automatically analysed and compared.
