A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill
What is Feedforward?
In the realm of modern leadership, certain terms illuminate the very essence of communication and developmental processes. One such term is “Feedforward.” Unlike the traditional feedback mechanism, Feedforward is firmly focused on the future rather than on the past. It provides leaders with a widened perspective, enabling them to concentrate on growth potential and constructive suggestions for action, rather than simply evaluating past performance.
