Multisource feedback: rater information
Please rate the reviewee against each of the seven domains.
Each domain contains examples of positive leadership behaviours or characteristics. You should indicate to what extent you agree these are true of the reviewee. If you do not feel you have had any opportunity to observe a particular behaviour/characteristic, you can select ‘Unable to Rate’. The questions are listed below, in case you want to reflect on them before completing the feedback tool.
We also ask you to enter open-ended comments for each domain, to highlight strengths and suggest potential areas for future development. Please provide constructive and specific comments that will facilitate beneficial reflections and discussions when the reviewee receives their report. For example, a comment such as ‘Doesn’t bother to meet with team members’ could be better worded as ‘Could schedule and prioritise more regular catch-ups with team members’.
You will not see the reviewee’s self-ratings or ratings provided by other respondents. Your ratings will be aggregated with those of the other respondents in the feedback report that the reviewee receives. Open-ended comments will be collated in random order. The report will only be generated if there are at least six respondents. Neither the reviewee nor anyone else involved in the process will be able to connect your ratings or comments to you individually. The reviewee will be able to see if you took part but they will not see your individual responses.
This is a formative activity that is intended to facilitate the reviewee’s leadership development in a supportive, constructive and reflective way. As this is personal to the reviewee, raters will not receive any outputs from the review. The feedback report will not be used for performance evaluation, and this process is not a forum for raising complaints. If you have any concerns about negative behaviour, please consider raising those via the appropriate channels:
Dignity at Work and Study Guidance and Support
