Foreplay

The most powerful way to enhance executive performance is the facilitated 360-degree appraisal with other members of the Board.

People can be apprehensive about the exercise because the concept of having personal development points, let alone sharing them with colleagues, is still uncomfortable for some. Development points are not weaknesses. All organisations including mine have weaknesses. Every executive in the land including me has development points. That’s OK

But you have to know what the Bull’s Eye measurable statement of excellence for your organisation is, before you even contemplate executive reviews. And the steeper the flight path towards the Bull’s Eye, the more important executive development points are.

Think about it! Unless organisational aspirations towards excellence are matched by executive aspirations then the whole thing is a farce. And it sometimes is.
