The purpose of 360 Degree/Multirater Feedback is primarily to gather feedback from various sources on a manager's performance. This approach involves collecting assessments from a range of individuals who interact with the manager, including peers, subordinates, supervisors, and sometimes even clients. This comprehensive feedback mechanism allows for a multidimensional view of the manager's strengths and areas for improvement.

By obtaining insights from multiple perspectives, organizations can create a more holistic understanding of an individual’s capabilities and behaviors. This rich data can highlight how a manager is perceived in different contexts and may reveal discrepancies between self-assessment and how others view their performance. Ultimately, the primary goal of this feedback method is to facilitate personal and professional development for managers, enhancing their leadership effectiveness and contributing to overall organizational performance.
