Media Reviews
I think your insight and deeper dives into the application of 360 and your learnings are hugely useful. The external consultant should also have this as a must-read. -- Helen Hunter, Head of Talent Development, Heathrow
Elva's rich and extensive experience is the best possible guide through the 360 minefield. -- Colin Coombs, Learning and Development Consultant, Tate
It demonstrates what a powerful transformational tool 360 can be. This is a fantastic, practical and inspiring book, which I think should add a lot to the successful implementation of transformational 360 processes in organisations. -- Liz Bridge, Learning Services Director, Centre for Customised Executive Development, Cranfield School of Management
It's a great book and gives a fresh perspective. Twenty years of experience is evident in every word on the page. What company wouldn't want that insight! Insights into discovering the data you have and will gain, and ways to interpret it. This book dares you to be innovative with how you use and present that data. -- Mark MacKenzie MBE, Organisational Development Advisor, Transport for London
This is just the sort of resource that is missing for HR practitioners. Very few books take you through the detailed process to operate a 360 degree, so this is very useful and accessible. -- Anna Petts, Head of OD & Learning, University of the Arts London
Author Bio
Elva Ainsworth was born into a family of people watchers and has cultivated a real love of people-pattern spotting. This combination led her to a career in HR after a psychology degree at Bristol University. In HR she enjoyed implementing the brand new psychometrics as well as designing culture change and personal development tools. In 1994 she focused on her love of psychometrics by joining SHL (now CEB), the leading business psychologists, where she managed the 360 degree feedback and management development practice in both the UK and the USA. Qualifying in homeopathy was combined with her OD perspective to feed a strong appetite for a new approach to giving feedback. Having experienced therapeutic processes that enabled easy paradigm shifts, Elva was sure there was a new way. She looked to guarantee light-bulb moments while supporting people through and out of the emotional upsets that often arise from 360 degree feedback. She was on a mission! Her hypothesis was that personalisation of 360 degree feedback surveys would make a difference by encouraging ownership of the development process and also that privacy would give sufficient safety for real learning to occur. The result of her application and experience is this book.
