Development plans and impact

Follow-through after the 360

A 360 only pays off if something changes. Sidelight turns the report into a development plan, then checks in months later to show what changed.

After the report

From feedback to action

Development plan

A plan, not just a report

Every report ends with a personal development plan: the area to improve, where you are now, where you want to be, what you’ll do and how you’ll check. It’s pre-filled with the lowest-rated areas.

  • An example row shows what a good plan looks like
  • Ideas to try in the next 30 days for each focus area
  • Ready to work through with a manager or coach

What to do about them

What to do about them

1Makes sure quieter people get heard

What people are seeing

Colleagues rated this 2.6 out of 5, and you rated it 4.0.

Why it matters

When people feel heard they bring problems early and share their best ideas; when they don’t, they go quiet.

Try this in the next 30 days

  • In your next three meetings, summarize what you heard before you give your own view.
  • Count to three before replying when someone finishes speaking.
  • Ask “What am I missing?” at the end of each decision discussion.

You’ll know it’s working when

People bring you problems earlier, and say “thanks for hearing me out”.
