The CLIP Assessment is perfect for supervisors looking for quick feedback from their direct reports on their performance as a supervisor or manager.

The CLIP Assessment is different from a conventional 360 Degree feedback instrument in that it is designed to be a “snapshot” of how your employees (as opposed to multiple rater groups) think you’re doing in four critical competencies. That is why we call this tool the CLIP assessment because it assesses performance in four areas: Communication; Leadership; Interpersonal relations; and Performance management.

How the CLIP Assessment is Administered

The CLIP assessment process consists of two stages:

1. First, feedback is gathered from the supervisor’s direct reports using the CLIP assessment tool.

2. Second, a one-on-one coaching session (spot coaching) is arranged during which the results of the assessment are shared with the supervisor and the supervisor is encouraged to develop goals for improvement.

Taking Advantage of the CLIP Assessment

It can be arranged for a group of supervisors within a work unit, or for individual supervisors who are seeking feedback to improve their performance.

Individual results for the CLIP assessment are only shared with the subject of the assessment. When the CLIP is administered for a group, agency leadership can request a briefing on the overall results for supervisors within the work unit.

If you would like to have the CLIP assessment administered for you, please click on this link and provide your name and the names and email addresses for your direct reports; this will allow us to initiate the process. Generally speaking, at least three direct reports are required to participate.

360 degree feedback review is designed to gather anonymous feedback about a leader from the people working most closely with him or her—including direct reports, peers, managers, project team members, etc. The CFE’s 360* Degree Feedback Instrument is designed to provide leaders with comprehensive feedback in competency areas related to the State of Utah’s Management Competency Framework.

How the 360* Degree Feedback Instrument is Administered

The process consists of two stages:

1. First, feedback is gathered from the multiple sources identified by the leader (direct reports, peers, managers, etc.) using the 360* Degree Feedback Instrument. All feedback will be kept confidential.

2. Second, the feedback is sent to the leader in preparation for initiating coaching with one of the CFE’s management/executive coaches. Generally speaking this coaching process will include at least 3 one hour sessions. The purpose of the coaching is to assist leaders in setting and reaching goals related to the feedback process.

There is overwhelming empirical evidence about the value for leaders who receive feedback from multiple sources and then receive coaching for developmental purposes as a follow up. We recommend that those interested in receiving feedback plan on engaging in the coaching process as well. Please click on the following link to read more about the CFE’s coaching services.
