Experts need feedback too!
Many organisations have 360-degree surveys, and other tools, that help generalists and in particular leaders get feedback from those they work with. This feedback builds self-awareness and generally leads to improved leadership or working habits.
Technical subject matter experts often miss out on these assessments, or worse, are asked to complete a people leadership assessment when they are not people leaders.
Our experience (over 2500 assessments delivered with more than 60,000 respondents) is that subject matter experts thrive on and act upon feedback when it is properly structured, relevant to their work role, and credible. From this feedback they can shape meaningful and actionable growth plans.
The Expertship Institute’s partner organizations around the world can advise you how you might want to build your own assessment for your technical subject matter experts, or you can leverage The Expertship360, which has the benefit of global benchmarks.
The Expertship360 feedback is delivered by Institute accredited Expertship coaches. It is possible to become accredited to deliver these internally. Expertship 360 Packages
The Institute also offers a range of psychometric assessments, such as personality, motivation, and cognitive capability.
The Institute has also produced a perfect companion book for providing experts feedback, with The Expertship Growth Guide .
