So many very successful organisations have a 360 degree feedback culture/policy and learn how to make it authentic/constructive/motivating and respectful... and fun. Properly facilitated by properly qualified people/organisations, 360 feedback sessions can make all the difference. Look how a powerful and constructive 360 degree feedback intervention turned both the PussyCats and Tiggers around. An incredible tool to get everyone on the same page and build a camaraderie that truly creates a team, and not a bunch of individuals or groups within groups at a club (or any organisation for that matter).
Properly facilitated 360 degree sessions can and do gradually expose hidden agendas, fears, personal issues, covert hostilities/resentments whilst also building a culture of safety and trust and profound unity - indeed, a community. Managing the confronting aspects of 360 feedback is a particular skill. Anyone can be brutal, but in my experience brutal only creates bigger problems and issues. You can be authentic, effective and honest without resorting to brutality. Poorly handled, 360 feedback can be extremely destructive and create lasting wounds... look what happened when Adelaide called in rank amateurs!
We did it years ago, it didn't work (Leading Teams same as Geelong).
