Effective interaction between managers and their associated staffs, peers, and supervisors is a primary contributor to an organization's ability to perform at its highest level. While most managers are proficient in their business expertise, many are not as skilled in important areas such as leadership, communication, and coaching.

Underdevelopment in these areas can hinder the achievement of individuals and teams throughout a company. Unfortunately, honest feedback is not always available to managers who would welcome and benefit from a constructive assessment of their on-the-job performance.

In most organizations, the only performance feedback available to managers comes from one individual - the person they report to. While this is valuable, it does not provide managers with the balanced view of how effective they are in working with, and meeting the needs of, people that they closely associate with on a day-to-day basis.

JFA's Full-Circle Feedback is a highly effective method of giving managers a full range of feedback not only from their own manager, but also from peers and direct reports. The results specifically help to identify gaps in expected performance, pinpoint skill-development needs, and highlight individual talent that should be nurtured to its highest potential.

JFA's expert analysis of the individual responses provides managers with a prioritized action plan to enhance personal strengths and improve in areas that need further development. If requested, JFA can provide individual or team coaching to accelerate the growth and productivity of the organization and its members.

With the help of JFA and Full-Circle Feedback, organizations are equipped with the actionable information needed to manage for increased productivity, greater competitive advantage, and stronger relationships with their employees and customers.
