Seeing clearly our strengths and weaknesses as well as understanding how we are perceived is the basis for any leadership development plan. We cannot grow if we don’t understand the work we have to do. A clearly articulated, well-rounded performance review is the basis for this plan. The most powerful transformations occur when leaders receive not just insight, but also the structured support needed to turn that insight into action.
360 Performance Reviews are a valuable way to get solid feedback from your team, co-founders, board members, and other stakeholders. A 360 helps you make course corrections in your leadership that support your professional and organizational growth. The compiled feedback report allows you to see what’s working, what’s not working, and what needs changing. Our process helps you identify viable steps which can be put into action with the support of your coach.
It’s often said that feedback is a gift. But what’s rarely admitted is the fact that it’s often a gift we’d rather return. And yet our leadership prowess depends on our ability to identify what is true and what is not. Discernment, the ability to cut through our own delusion with fierce honesty, is one of the qualities that separate leaders from managers.
Seeing our strengths and weaknesses clearly as well as understanding how we are perceived is the basis for any leadership development plan. We cannot grow if we don’t fully understand what we do.
A clearly articulated and well-rounded performance review is the basis of this plan. This active manifestation of what we call “radical self-inquiry” is the best way to start rebooting your leadership.
“Reboot’s 360 process gave me the honest feedback I needed to see my strengths and areas of growth in a beautiful light. Combined with one on one coaching, I’ve used this newfound self-awareness to execute a new roadmap. Reboot accelerated my leadership and my company is skyrocketing.”
Tiffany Dufu Former CEO, The Cru
We believe in the power of comprehensive, insight-rich feedback to drive meaningful professional growth. Our enhanced 360 review process combines efficient data collection with personalized coaching to deliver deeper insights and actionable development plans.
A Reboot 360 is a professional development report that gives you a complete 360-degree view of your strengths and weaknesses.
We gather feedback from various people around you, such as direct reports, peers, mentors, investors, and board members, through surveys and/or interviews about your strengths, weaknesses and challenges.
The feedback is anonymized to protect your reviewers and allows for a complete picture of your development themes.
The end result is a report that organizes the feedback into cogent themes that you can use to create a personal development plan.
We offer two approaches to gathering and analyzing feedback, each designed to provide rich insights while respecting your team’s time and preferences:
Standard Review
Our streamlined process uses a carefully designed survey framework to gather detailed feedback from up to 12 reviewers. This approach offers:
Deep Dive Review
For those seeking more nuanced insights, our Deep Dive combines both personal interviews and survey responses:
We analyzed all of the 360° Reviews we conducted between 2018 and 2020 with the goal of discovering insights into the strengths and weaknesses of startup executives. These three white papers detail our findings across roles, company size, and in leadership generally. These insights are indispensable for any current or aspiring startup executive seeking to learn from others’ experiences and realize their potential as a leader.
For the most impactful experience, we recommend pairing your 360 review with our coaching services. A dedicated coach brings several crucial elements to the process:
Your coach helps you look beyond the surface of feedback to understand the patterns, blind spots, and opportunities that emerge from multiple perspectives.
Processing feedback, especially challenging feedback, requires a trusted partner who can help you navigate both the practical and emotional aspects of growth.
Your coach helps translate insights into concrete actions, ensuring the feedback catalyzes real change rather than becoming another report on the shelf.
Through ongoing coaching conversations, you’ll have structured support to implement changes, adjust your approach based on results, and maintain momentum in your growth journey.
“Reboot’s 360 review process was thorough and incisive, and it resulted in a report full of helpful insights for our portfolio CEO and the business. It was particularly useful to me and the other board members, as it provided a framework for us to use in helping the CEO grow as a leader, and measuring his progress against objectives. I’ve since brought Reboot into other companies I work with.”
Matt Harris Managing Director, Bain Capital Ventures

Leveraging Feedback as a Missing Piece to Growth in Leadership
360 reviews, when orchestrated well, are not tied to performance and are used as a tool to help an employee gain self-awareness and promote long-term personal growth.
Stepping back and letting other folks lead brings up a lot of things for those in the lead role in an organization. Specifically, it can bring up lots of feelings around trust, decision-making, and fear of letting go.
How You Feel About Yourself Shows Up In Your Leadership
Our behavior, feelings, motivation, and thoughts are directly influenced by our self-evaluation. If in your own internal experience thoughts of diminished self-worth or a raging inner critic voice with the volume up loud are more common than not, the psychic weight of that inner reflection will impact how you show up in your leadership.
Our commitment to integrating coaching with 360 feedback is grounded in research that demonstrates the profound impact of this combination:
This evidence aligns with our experience: the most powerful transformations occur when leaders receive not just insight, but also the structured support needed to turn that insight into action.
