feedback is for development
A critical measure of leadership lies in the
perceptions of those with whom we work
360 feedback increases awareness of how a
leader’s actions, communications, and
behaviors are perceived by others.
It is designed to help a leader in their
development by encouraging open and
honest feedback for discussion with their
supervisor.
360s help your focus on a leader’s own
growth and improvement.
The survey questions describe specific,
observable behaviors of successful leaders
The feedback is relevant to success in the
Leader’s current position
The survey is based on competencies
critical to leadership effectiveness in your
organization
The feedback is reflective (past) as well as
predictive (future)

Dear John Sample:
Congratulations on your decision to participate in Suddenlink’s 360-Degree Assessment. This process provides an excellent opportunity for you to receive feedback on important leadership competencies and get candid insight from those around you on ways to grow and succeed.
To start the process, please select a group of raters who you believe will be willing to take the short questionnaire and who you would consider good resources for feedback on your leadership style. We encourage you to choose individuals who work with you regularly and can provide you with objective, balanced feedback. Your group of raters will include yourself, your immediate supervisor, direct reports who have worked for you for a minimum of 6 months, and at least 3 colleagues. You may choose outside raters such as customers and/or vendors, if those relationships are meaningful to this process.
Click on the link below to select raters for your survey.
Rater Selection
After submitting your list, your HR representative and your supervisor will review your selection and give final approval. Once that approval has been received, we recommend you send a note to the raters letting them know that you selected them to participate in your leadership assessment. You and your raters will receive an invitation email from
DecisonWise with a link to take the survey. (Below is a draft email you can send to your raters.)
If you need additional information, please reply to this email or contact me at 1.801.960.1400. I look forward to working with you through the process! Janet Taggart

Sample Email to Raters:
I have decided to participate in Suddenlink’s 360-Degree Assessment process and have chosen you to be one of my raters. This process is designed to provide me with candid, meaningful, and relevant feedback on my leadership competencies to help me define a development plan that supports my on-going success as a leader.
The responses are managed through a 3rd party and the report that I will receive will summarize the feedback and list the comments from all the raters selected. Your specific feedback will be blended with the other participants and will be known only to the 3rd party administrator. Your perspective is valuable to my development, so I encourage you to be completely candid and honest in your responses. Your opinion matters to me so I would be grateful if you could make the time to help me with this important information!
You will receive an e-mail from DecisonWise, Inc, our external survey partner, in the next few days with a link to take the survey. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Thank you in advance your time!
