gcWaymakers 360 feedback

L7 senior leader baseline  |  observed behaviours against the gcWaymakers behavioural framework

You are being asked to describe the behaviours you have observed in each member of the leadership team, including yourself, against the L7 'Senior leader' level of the gcWaymakers behavioural framework. This is a baseline, not a judgement: it exists to answer 'what does good look like here?' and to help each of us grow.

How your feedback is handled. Your responses go directly and only to the programme administrator. Results are reported back as anonymised, aggregated patterns; no individual comment is ever attributed to you. Your self-assessment is the one exception: it is compared, privately, with the aggregated view of your colleagues.

Every rating needs at least one specific example. Feedback without a concrete example cannot be accepted, because it cannot be acted on. The 'Guidance and examples' tab shows what a usable example looks like.

Your name is used only to separate your self-assessment from your feedback on colleagues. It never appears in reporting.

What makes feedback usable

A rating on its own tells a colleague almost nothing. A rating with a specific example tells them exactly what to keep doing, or what to do differently. So this portal only accepts a rating when it is backed by at least one concrete example: a real situation, what the person actually did, and what happened as a result. 'Kind, not just nice. Honest, not just polite.'

Examples that would be accepted

'In the April board pack, she reframed the cash position as three decisions the board needed to take rather than twelve pages of tables. The meeting finished early and all three decisions were made in the room.'
'When the client database migration stalled in February, he brought Finance, IT and Marketing into one call, got the blockers listed on a single page, and had owners against each by the end of the hour. The migration completed three weeks later.'
'A junior member of my team made a costly error in March. Rather than escalating over my head, she came to me first, helped us design a fix, and then used it (without naming anyone) as a learning case at the next team meeting.'

Examples that would not be accepted, and why

'She's a great communicator.' No situation, no behaviour, no result. This is a rating restated as a sentence.
'He always supports the team.' 'Always' is a pattern claim with no evidence. When? Who? What did the support look like?
'Needs to be more strategic.' Not observable. What did you see or not see that led you here? Describe the moment.

A simple recipe

Situation ('In the March partner meeting…'), behaviour ('…she paused the debate and asked what the client would want…'), result ('…and the group changed its recommendation'). If your example has those three parts, it will be accepted and, more importantly, it will be useful.

If you cannot rate a behaviour

Not everyone on this team has worked closely with everyone else, and honesty matters more than coverage. If you have not seen enough of someone to rate a behaviour, use the ‘I am unable to rate this person on this behaviour because…’ option and select every reason that applies. Please do not guess a rating to be polite. An honest ‘I cannot say’ is itself valuable data: it maps how meaningfully integrated this team currently is, and it is reported as such.

How patterns are weighted

Reports show aggregated patterns only, with each pattern's strength stated plainly. If eight of ten respondents describe the same behaviour, that carries materially more weight than a single observation. The tiers used in reporting are:

Share of respondentsHow it is reported
80% or moreA strong, consistent pattern; material weight
50–79%A clear emerging pattern
25–49%A pattern worth exploring
Below 25%An isolated observation; treated with caution

With ten respondents, one voice is 10%. An isolated observation is not discarded, but it is never presented as if it were consensus.
