FeedForward is a positive, future-focused personal development process that, used with traditional feedback, takes the judgmental, critical sting out of feedback.
Marshall Goldsmith and John Katzenbach coined the term after noticing the feedback process was more successful when feed forward was added—Feed forward helps shift the focus from rehashing the mistakes of the past to concentrating on the promise of the future.
To understand how they work together, think of a shopping mall map and the little arrow pointing to “You Are Here”. Feedback is the arrow showing you where you are in key relationships. Feed forward is the map that directs you to where you want to be in your professional and personal relationships.
FeedForward has other benefits. Imagine the boss calls you and says, “Please come into my office, I have some feedback for you.” Your first reaction is not likely, “Oh goodie! Fun, fun, fun!” Actually, fun is the last word that comes to mind. Feed forward helps you move towards the goal in a more productive and less intimidating way.
More than 80,000 people who have gone through the feed forward process say it is positive, helpful, and, yes, fun. Why? Because:
- FeedForward is focused on a future you can change, not a past you cannot change.
- There is no judging or critiquing of the person or ideas.
- You learn from a diverse perspective.
- You can really listen because you don’t feel defensive.
- No feedback about the past (and all of the emotional baggage that comes with it) is allowed.
- It creates a rich pool of ideas with less work.
