360 degree appraisal and coaching

Thursday, October 9, 2008 by Brendan Walsh
A couple of interesting stats from Coaching at Work .  The first - and most relevant to Bowland was that 70% of coaches surveyed used a 360 degree feedback tool to support their clients.

This marries with a previous post I wrote on measuring ROI in coaching which quoted a research paper that Nigel McEwan of Ridler & Co had written.

Another interesting statistic was that 98% of coaches ran face-to-face sessions.  The article noted that in the US the majority of coaching is handled over the phone. 

We always prefer to handle our debriefing sessions face-to-face ... in part because seeing the reaction of someone to their 360 degree appraisal report can be enlightening.  We do toy with phone-based as it is more efficient use of time.  But is it more effective?
