Feedforwardfeedforward

Feedforward is giving a suggestion oriented toward the future instead of discussing a past mistake. It is an approach developed by Marshall Goldsmith. Its logic is this: we cannot change the past, so it is more productive to direct energy toward what can be done next time. Instead of 'you did this wrong', it says 'next time you might try this'. This reduces defensiveness, because no one is blamed for something that has not yet happened. Energy stuck on the past, when turned toward the future, becomes movement.
