THE BOOTH COMPANY PARTNERS WITH GEORGE FOX UNIVERSITY FOR 360 DEGREE FEEDBACK

Boulder, CO, April 9, 2009 -- The Booth Company's 360 degree feedback surveys are an integral component of the MBA program at George Fox University. As part of a course on organizations, Jim Steele, Ed.D., invites his students to choose one of several surveys that offers the best fit for their professional needs. Learners are encouraged to select raters from their business contacts, bringing the voices of their working associates into the academic process. By providing learners with a firsthand view of how they are perceived in their work environments, students are confronted with evidence of the impact of their own leadership behaviors.

Students are pleased with the 360 degree survey process. "I chose the survey participants carefully to assure honest, open feedback," said credit union CEO and 2007 George Fox MBA graduate Barbara Mathey. "Although some of the results were difficult to see, it was exactly the feedback I was hoping for. The insight gave me the opportunity to reevaluate and change my approach to more effectively use my leadership skills and to obtain additional skills where I was lacking.

The Booth Company publishes and administers 360 degree feedback surveys based on the Task Cycle®, a validated theory of leadership and management roles. Its comprehensive set of surveys measure the fundamental skills of mission-critical organizational roles, including executives, first-line and middle managers. The survey results are compared to continuously updated industry and country norms. Since 1972 The Booth Company has distributed its surveys and feedback workshops internationally through corporate universities and an exclusive network of certified senior executive coaches.
