NEW 360° FEEDBACK OFFERING IN LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR TOP EXECUTIVES

360° feedback new offering

A new 360° feedback offering has been developed to assist business leaders in developing their communication and leadership skills by analysing feedback from their peers and juniors. The programme was designed by The Aziz Corporation, to enable managers to improve their communication and managerial skills in a targeted way, taking their current performance as a starting-point.

Professor Khalid Aziz, Chairman of The Aziz Corporation commented:

“Business leaders are often promoted because of their expertise in the technical areas of their role, whether this is in accountancy, IT, sales, or any other discipline. But being good at your job doesn’t automatically mean you will be a successful leader of people. In fact, for managers the most important quality is the ability to lead through effective communication with others.”

The bespoke 360° service, which will be included as a free addition to the company’s existing services, assesses a manager’s skills in ten core communication areas, including awareness of others, emotional control and initiative. The online questionnaire is filled in by the manager himself and up to eight of his colleagues, juniors and clients or customers as appropriate. The results are then collated and presented to the manager as part of the diagnostics session with The Aziz Corporation.
