Assignment Overview
Continuing on the
themes of the Module 1 and 2 Case Assignments, for this module you will be
doing a self-assessment as well as applying the concepts from the module to
your own organization. Make sure to thoroughly review the required background
materials before starting this assignment, as you need to apply concepts from
readings such as Fleenor, et al. (2008) as part of this assignment. The
checklist on page 37 of Fleenor, et al. is especially important for this
assignment.
Assignment
This assignment has
five sections. For each section, the suggested length is one half to one full
page, for a total length of four to five pages not including the title page and
references. You should also make sure to cite Fleenor, et al. (2008) and other
sources multiple times throughout the paper as well as any additional
references that you find:
Most 360-degree surveys are not free and
in fact are very expensive if you want to get a license to use them at
your organization. However, there are a few free sample 360-degree surveys
out there. Do a search on Google or other search engines using terms such
as “free 360-degree feedback survey.” Find two or three free surveys and
choose one of them that you think would be most applicable to your
organization. Explain the reasoning for your choice and try to use
criteria from the readings such as the checklists from Fleenor, et al.
(2008, p. 37).
Now take the survey that you chose in
your answer to Question 2 above. Fill out the survey as a self-evaluation
– that is, use the survey to evaluate your own leadership skills and other
skills. Report the results of your survey. Do you think the survey was
useful? What areas for improvement in your leadership skills did you find
from using the survey?
As a next step, fill out the survey
again, but this time evaluate your current supervisor or a previous
supervisor that you worked with. Report your results. Were the results
fair to your supervisor? What are the main areas for improvement for your
supervisor based on your results?
Now that you have taken the survey
twice, what areas for improvement would you make for it before using it
again? Would you change the wording of the questions? Any questions that
you would add? Use the concepts from Fleenor, et al. (2008) as well as
your own experiences filling out the survey to assess the usefulness of
the survey that you took.
Finally, take a look at pages 65-69 of
Fleenor, et al. (2008) where they discuss issues, advantages and
disadvantages of 360 degree assessment surveys. Which issues do you think
would apply to your organization and the leaders you work with? How might
you overcome these issues if you were to lead a 360-degree survey process
in your organization? Next Start or as Soon as Possible.
