Architecture target (AFF v0.1). Implementation flags live in implementation-status.md. Do not treat this document as a shipped product contract.

Purpose

A lighter multi-rater review than the annual deep 360. It combines stable anchors with rotating development modules and active PDP evidence.

Core anchors

All internal relationships receive applicable variants of these families:

  1. leadership.direction.connects_strategy_execution
  2. leadership.customer.defines_value_outcomes
  3. leadership.autonomy.clear_decision_rights
  4. leadership.feedback.seeks_input
  5. leadership.feedback.receives_constructively
  6. leadership.safety.invites_challenge
  7. leadership.execution.removes_system_blockers
  8. leadership.work.sustainable_system

Rotating modules

Select one or two modules per quarter.

Talent and succession

  • provides timely specific feedback
  • creates stretch opportunities with support
  • develops successors for critical responsibilities
  • preserves mentoring and apprenticeship

Change and adoption

  • explains why change is needed
  • involves affected stakeholders
  • reinforces new ways of working
  • measures adoption and closes gaps

Strategic and customer leadership

  • anticipates changes in customer and market needs
  • makes explicit portfolio trade-offs
  • uses evidence to stop low-value work
  • turns recurring problems into scalable assets

Global and inclusive leadership

  • adapts communication across cultures and contexts
  • provides equal access to information and opportunity
  • balances global consistency with local needs
  • makes decisions accessible across locations and time zones

Engineering and technology

Use the Engineering Leadership pack as a routed module.

Relationship routing

Relationship Primary lens
Self All applicable constructs and reflection
Manager strategy, outcomes, succession, enterprise influence
Peer cross-functional decisions, collaboration, execution, challenge
Direct report clarity, autonomy, feedback, safety, workload, development
Customer value, trust, transparency, responsiveness, reliability, relevant innovation

Role-priority questions

Instead of forcing a complete ranking, ask each respondent to:

  1. Rate the importance of each included construct for the next 12 months.
  2. Select the three where improvement would have the greatest impact.

Qualitative prompts

  • Continue: “What behavior creates disproportionate value and should be protected?”
  • Start: “What one new behavior would most improve impact next quarter?”
  • Stop/reduce: “What behavior creates avoidable friction, dependency, or risk?”
  • Evidence: “Describe one recent situation that best illustrates your feedback.”
