Info

A 360 Degree Feedback Survey is a valuable tool to gain insight into how multiple people view church leaders. (You can read more about these types of evaluations here.) Reliant has provided a version of the survey that the Personnel Committee can use as part of the Annual Review process or during another point in the year.

Selecting Who Will Complete the Survey

  1. Determine what categories of Evaluators from whom you would like to solicit feedback. Some examples of these groups are Supervisor, Church Staff, Church Member, Peer, Church Volunteer, Board Member.
  2. Other than the Supervisor category (because there is probably only one), try to get feedback from, at a minimum, 2 people in each catagory.
  3. Select respondents who have enough knowledge about and exposure to the Pastor or Board Member (the "feedback recipient") to be able to answer the questions and who will give honest feedback.
  4. Do not send the survey to a spouse or family member of the feedback recipient.

Analyzing the Responses

  • You'll be able to view the data from the Google Form in several different ways, as well as download a Google Sheet with all the responses.
  • For a perception gap analysis, you can compare how the Pastor/Church Board Member rated themselves compare to how others rated them on each question.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not share the individual responses with the Pastor or Board Member. Instead, create a roll-up view that includes a summary of responses for each questions. You can break it down by evaluator category (e.g., by peer, by church staff, etc.) as long as the anonymity of the evaluator is protected.

Reviewing the Results with the Pastor/Church Board Member

Share the results with each Pastor or Church Board Member individually. Some typical follow-up questions include:

  • How did you do compared to how you expected you would do? Where were you most surprised?
  • What are your take-a-ways from those questions where there are significant gaps in your perceptions and those of your raters?
  • What are your take-a-ways from the highest and lowest rated questions you and your raters agreed upon?
  • What are your strongest overall take-a-ways?
  • What are two strategies for development in your highest and lowest areas of agreement and in the areas of largest perception gap that you will implement in the next three months?
