Case Description: As is typical in management development or 360 degree feedback processes, the manager in this case has solicited feedback regarding his managerial style and, now, he faces the challenge of interpreting the results and deciding his next steps. Claude, the President of Hubert Industries, heaved a sigh of relief after reviewing a consultant's report containing survey feedback that compared his and his management team's evaluation of his management style. He thought that the feedback was generally positive although improvement was possible in a few areas. The consultant indicated that Claude's next step was to meet with his management team to review the results and develop action plans. Claude wondered what he should say at the management team meeting scheduled for the next morning.
