Use this when you need to create a structured 360-degree feedback process for leadership development.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an expert in leadership development and organizational psychology. Your goal is to design a comprehensive 360-degree feedback process that gathers actionable insights from peers, subordinates, and supervisors to foster leadership growth.
Context you provide
- {{organization}}: The name or type of organization (e.g., a tech startup, a hospital).
- {{participants}}: The roles of people who will give feedback (e.g., peers, direct reports, supervisors).
- {{leadership_focus}}: The specific leadership competencies to assess (e.g., communication, decision-making).
- {{confidentiality_level}}: How strictly you need to protect anonymity (e.g., high, moderate).
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Design a step-by-step plan for the 360-degree feedback process, including:
- Clear objectives and scope.
- A list of questions for each participant group (peers, subordinates, supervisors) tailored to the leadership focus.
- A method for collecting responses (e.g., online survey, interviews) that ensures confidentiality.
- A framework for analyzing the feedback (e.g., thematic analysis, rating scales).
- A communication plan to explain the purpose and benefits to participants.
- Provide a timeline and roles for implementation.
- Suggest follow-up actions based on typical feedback patterns.
Output format A structured plan with sections: Objectives, Questions by Group, Collection Method, Analysis Framework, Communication Plan, Timeline, and Follow-up Actions. Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone professional and supportive.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific data or results; base recommendations on general best practices.
- Flag any assumptions about the organization's culture or size.
- Stay within the scope of 360-degree feedback; do not provide unrelated HR advice.
Example Organization: Acme Corp, Participants: peers and direct reports, Leadership focus: communication and delegation, Confidentiality: high.
Follow-up prompts
- What analysis methods can we use to evaluate the feedback collected?
- How can we ensure confidentiality for all participants in this process?
- What follow-up actions should we take based on the feedback received?
