360 Feedback Examples & Sample Report
Real examples of effective feedback and what an AI-powered 360 report actually looks like.
Wondering what 360 feedback actually looks like in practice? You're not alone. Many people hesitate to start a feedback process because they're unsure what to expect.
This page shows you real examples of 360 feedback — both the input (what reviewers write) and the output (what the AI-generated report contains). By the end, you'll know exactly what good feedback looks like and how to get the most value from your own 360 process.
What Good 360 Feedback Looks Like
Effective feedback is specific, balanced, and actionable. Here are examples across different competency areas:
Communication Examples
"Sarah explains complex technical concepts in a way that non-technical stakeholders can understand. In our last project review, she used analogies that helped the marketing team grasp the API limitations without getting lost in jargon."
"Sarah is a good communicator."
Why the first is better: It gives a specific situation, describes the behavior, and explains the impact. The recipient knows exactly what they're doing well and can repeat it.
Leadership Examples
"When our deadline got moved up by two weeks, Marcus stayed calm and helped the team reprioritize without creating panic. He made tough calls about what to cut, but explained his reasoning so everyone understood."
"Marcus is a strong leader."
Growth Area Examples
Constructive feedback is just as important as positive feedback. Here's how to frame areas for improvement:
"In meetings, Alex sometimes moves to solutions before fully hearing everyone's input. I've noticed quieter team members don't always get a chance to share their ideas. Pausing to ask 'What am I missing?' could help surface different perspectives."
"Alex doesn't listen."
Why the first is better: It describes the specific behavior, explains the impact on others, and offers a concrete suggestion — all without being harsh or personal.
Sample AI-Generated Report
When you run a 360 feedback campaign with AI360Feedback, the AI analyzes all responses and generates a comprehensive report. Here's what each section contains:
Strengths Summary
Communication (4.6/5.0)
Reviewers consistently highlighted your ability to translate complex ideas for different audiences. Multiple respondents mentioned your use of clear examples and your patience in ensuring understanding.
Key theme: "Makes the complicated simple"
Growth Areas
Delegation (3.2/5.0)
Several reviewers noted a tendency to take on too much personally rather than distributing work across the team. This may limit team development opportunities and create bottlenecks.
Suggested action: Identify one recurring task to fully delegate this quarter, including decision-making authority.
Blind Spot Analysis
Self-rating vs. Peer rating gap:
You rated yourself 3.5 on "Handles stress effectively" while peers averaged 4.4. This positive blind spot suggests you may be harder on yourself than warranted, or that you mask stress well externally.
Recommended Actions
- Continue leveraging your communication strengths in cross-functional settings
- Practice delegation by assigning ownership (not just tasks) to team members
- Schedule regular check-ins to surface team concerns before they escalate
How AI Transforms Raw Feedback
The real power of AI360Feedback is turning scattered responses into clear insights. Here's what the AI does:
Pattern Recognition
The AI identifies themes that appear across multiple reviewers. If three people mention your presentation skills, that's a confirmed strength — not just one person's opinion.
Sentiment Analysis
Comments are analyzed for tone and intent. The AI distinguishes between genuine concerns and minor observations, helping you prioritize what matters most.
Gap Analysis
Your self-assessment is compared against peer ratings to reveal blind spots — both areas where you underestimate yourself and areas where perception differs from reality.
Action Generation
Based on your specific results, the AI suggests concrete next steps. Not generic advice, but targeted actions based on your actual feedback data.
Tips for Getting Better Feedback
The quality of your 360 report depends on the quality of input. Here's how to get more useful responses:
- Choose diverse reviewers — Include people who see different aspects of your work
- Explain why you're asking — People give better feedback when they know it's for development, not evaluation
- Emphasize anonymity — Reviewers are more honest when they know responses can't be traced back
- Give enough time — Rushed feedback is shallow feedback. Allow at least a week.
- Ask for specifics — Encourage reviewers to include examples, not just ratings
What Happens After You Get Results?
A 360 report is a starting point, not an endpoint. Here's how to make the most of your feedback:
- Read it twice — First for overall impressions, then for specific details
- Notice your reactions — Strong emotional responses often point to important insights
- Look for patterns — One comment is an opinion; three comments are a trend
- Pick focus areas — Choose 1-2 things to work on, not everything at once
- Share selectively — Discuss key findings with a mentor or manager
- Create accountability — Set specific goals and check-in dates
