In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with Alexis Kingsbury, Co-Founder of Spider Gap.
Alexis shares his passion for helping organizations and employees discover personal and professional areas to work on to achieve better performance through their 360 degree feedback tool. He believes that there are many opportunities for growth, and that with self-awareness, feedback and support, they can be fully realized. He says the lack of feedback could potentially cause a lot of stress in an organization, negatively impacting A-players who constantly want to grow and improve.
Alexis explains how the power of their service allows organizations to identify the strengths and areas for improvement of their employees. He says their 360-degree feedback tool is a game changer – now the highest rated 360-degree feedback tool in the world. He says they designed it to be intuitive and user-friendly so anyone can easily run it and create projects and reports through it.
