The Leader's Feedback Architecture
Move from backward-looking critique to forward-looking 'Feedforward' that people can actually act on.
Overview
Most feedback conversations either say too little to change anything or too much to land well. Exceptional leaders don't just give more feedback; they give it in a way that people can actually hear and implement without defensiveness. We move from backward-looking critique to forward-looking 'Feedforward', moving your focus from optics to outcomes. Learn to deliver performance conversations that improve the relationship rather than straining it, and develop high performers who feel they still have plenty to learn from you.
Who is this for?
- Managers who avoid difficult feedback conversations
- Leaders who want to build a feedback-rich culture
- Anyone who wants to improve how they give and receive feedback
