Jeffery D Whippo, an expert in the fields of Leadership and Organizational Development feels that one of the most effective ways to study and identify behaviors of effective and ineffective leaders is to get feedback on the leader utilizing a multi-rater feedback tool. He says that the 360-degree or multi-rater feedback survey is the most common tool used for assessing leader behaviors. He explains that these feedback mechanisms consist of a set of questions that are derived from the specific leadership skills behaviors that the organization believes are important to assess. The feedback from these surveys is collected from subordinates, peers, business partners, and other leaders within the organization.
