Understanding 180-Degree Feedback
180-degree feedback is when an individual invites feedback from one particular area of their working lives, most commonly being a manager's direct reports. This feedback is usually based on a set of competencies or behavioral statements and requires the individual to also complete a self-assessment.
In its purest form, the process is known as 360-degree feedback, which includes an individual receiving feedback from all aspects of their working life, i.e., peers, direct reports, line manager, customers, and suppliers, and comparing this to their own self-perception.
