Rethinking Leadership with Feedforward Instead of Feedback
And yet it often feels uncomfortable, tough, or ineffective.
Feedforward is a different approach.
Future focused, appreciative, and surprisingly effective.
In this course, you will learn how modern leadership coaching really works and how you can apply the feedforward method to your own leadership in a practical way.
Feedforward is a method that is not about what someone did wrong.
Instead, it focuses on:
Which specific behaviors would be helpful in the future?
Rather than evaluation, it encourages dialogue.
Rather than justification, it encourages curiosity.
Rather than blockage, it encourages development.
Feedforward is mainly used where traditional feedback tools reach their limits:
in top management
in executive coaching
in change processes
with experienced leaders
The feedforward method was largely shaped by Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s most renowned executive coaches.
Marshall Goldsmith has worked for decades with CEOs, board members, and international leadership figures.
His key insight:
Successful people do not fail because of a lack of competence, but because they do not continue to develop.
Feedforward is one of the core tools within this coaching approach.
Many feedforward contents remain theoretical or reduce the method to a simple exercise. This course goes further.
Axel, who guides you through the course, is certified by Marshall Goldsmith and provides a concrete, realistic insight into how feedforward is actually used in professional leadership coaching.
You will not only learn what feedforward is, but also:
how feedforward is actually used in executive coaching
how the Marshall Goldsmith approach develops leaders sustainably
when feedforward works and when it deliberately does not
why feedforward is more about mindset than technique
how to apply feedforward to your own leadership role
This course is for you if you:
are a leader, whether new or experienced
are responsible for people
want to develop yourself, not just your team
want to understand how modern coaching really works
This course is not ideal for you if you:
are only looking for quick templates
are not interested in self reflection
see leadership purely as a position
