## Prompt

```text
Help me design and run a 360-degree feedback process.

**Who is being reviewed:** [e.g. "12 people managers", "one senior leader"]
**Purpose:** [development only / input to performance review - be explicit]
**Organization size and culture:** [DETAILS, past experience with feedback]
**Tool:** [survey platform or HR system]
**Timeline:** [DATES]

Deliver:
1. **Purpose and ground rules:** a recommendation on development-only vs. evaluative use, and the risks of mixing them.
2. **Rater selection:** how many raters per group (manager, peers, direct reports, others), who chooses them, and minimum group sizes so answers stay anonymous.
3. **Questionnaire:** 15-25 behavior-based items tied to our competencies or values, a rating scale with clear anchors, and 3 open questions (start, stop, continue).
4. **Confidentiality rules:** who sees what, how comments are handled, and what happens if a group is too small to report.
5. **Communications:** short messages to participants and raters explaining purpose, time needed, and how to give useful, specific feedback.
6. **Common mistakes and how to avoid them:** vague or personal comments, rater fatigue, recency bias, retaliation fears, results with no follow-up, using scores to rank people.
7. **Debrief and action:** how to deliver the report (ideally with a trained facilitator or coach), a debrief agenda, and a simple development plan template.

Keep the process fair and consistent for everyone, and check data privacy and any local employment rules with HR or legal before launching.
