360° Feedback That Drives Real Change

Duration: 00:30:51

Most leaders have experienced a 360° feedback process — but how often does it actually change behavior?

In this episode of The Tessa Tubbs Podcast, Tessa sits down with Bruce Bennett, Founder and CEO of Star 360 Feedback, to explore how to turn data into meaningful development. With decades of experience designing feedback systems for organizations worldwide, Bruce has helped transform how leaders interpret and act on feedback.

Together, they unpack:

  • Why most 360° processes fail to drive change — and how to fix them.
  • How to integrate action planning into every stage of feedback.
  • The importance of starting with strengths to build confidence and momentum.
  • A powerful story of how a Nobel Prize–winning scientist transformed his leadership habits through intentional practice.
  • Practical ways to turn insights into 30-, 60-, and 90-day growth plans that actually stick.

Whether you’re a leader, coach, or HR professional, this conversation will change how you view feedback — not as criticism, but as a catalyst for growth.
