Week 5 Discussion
Feedforward for Growth
If delivered effectively, feedback centers on specific recommendations for future improvement and growth. If delivered ineffectively, it focuses only on what was done wrong, with no specific path provided toward a better outcome. Goldsmith (2002) provides an alternative approach labeled “feedforward.” It shares a future orientation with effective feedback but differs from feedback in that the coachee identifies the areas for improvement and asks for ideas from others about how to change the behavior.
In this Discussion, you will initiate your own feedforward experience with your peers and practice providing specific recommendations based on their feedforward requests.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Reflect upon your own professional life, in particular, how you relate to and/or manage others in professional contexts.
Identify one or more behaviors you would want to improve as you work with and manage others.
In preparation for responding to your colleagues, consider how feedforward can help you and others improve their management practices.
By Day 3
Post a description of one behavior in your professional life that significantly impacts how you manage or relate to others and that you would like to change.
Refer to the Week 5 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
Read some of your colleagues’ postings.
By Day 5
Respond to two or more colleagues, preferably ones that have yet to receive a response, in the following way:
Propose two suggestions on something your colleague can do in the future to positively change the behavior they identified. Provide a rationale for your suggestions based on your experience and the Learning Resources for the week. Note: All suggestions are to be phrased as feedforward and should not deal with the past. Do your best to provide meaningful advice and remember not to comment on the advice given to you by your colleagues, other than to thank the other party.
