Why you should read 360° Feedback

This book describes the application and growth, in U.S. corporations, of multi-source employee assessment. This is a review of the strengths and weaknesses of the "360° Feedback" program created by the authors, Mark R. Edwards and Ann J. Ewen. Their book gives you enough information to evaluate multi-source employee assessments. However, if you are reading it because you expect to be able to implement a 360° feedback process without hiring the authors, you will be disappointed. It seems to be written from the consultant’s perspective, which is selling consulting services. This limitation should not discourage you from reading this book, if you have a genuine interest in implementing multi-source employee assessment or if it is something your company may reed. While the book is not for the causal reader, it is important for anyone in a Fortune 1000 company who functions as a change agent. getAbstract recommends this book to any manager who might be interested in implementing such an employee review process.
