I have one more point about 360 feedback. One sure way to make sure the action plan that results from the 360 feedback is to tie its execution to the annual performance review. That means that an employee's salary, bonus, promotion, etc., are impacted by his or her effectiveness in following the action plan. This also means that a person's subordinates could potentially negatively affect that person's progression in the company which is a concept that few organizations are willing to introduce. However, if implemented, I believe that many managers would begin to value their direct reports in ways that would otherwise be impossible. Also, managers who already "take care" of their subordinates would probably have a chance to be recognized for the fact that people actually like working for them. Thanks for the reference.
