What is it?
The McQuaig 360 Leadership Review is revolutionary. It asks peers, managers and direct reports to review their leader, not score them. It creates a concise report that drives action.
The McQuaig 360 Leadership Review is one of the most streamlined 360 assessments and takes 12 minutes to complete, with comments. It celebrates what your leader is doing well. It balances this with the feedback and actions they need to develop and move forward.
Why use it?

Guidelines for using the McQuaig 360 Leadership Review
We suggest you apply some strong guidelines when using our 360. Here is what we recommend:
- Feedback only comes from people who have worked with the leader for at least 6 months.
- Use only for personal and professional development. Never as a tool for discipline.
- Results are confidential and belong to the leader. It is for them to share.
- Feedback is anonymous.
- There is no right or wrong. It is a snapshot in time.
- Choose who provides the 360 feedback. At least one from each group: superior/manager, peers, direct reports.

We suggest your leader completes the McQuaig Word Survey® before undertaking the McQuaig 360 Leadership Review.
