Description

Become a Better Leader Through Honest Feedback - Learn the Feedforward method used by the world's top coaches to help managers, executives, and leaders improve (beyond traditional feedback)


The Harsh Truth About Feedback for Managers: 


You only hear 1% of what you should know!


As a manager, you rarely get the full, honest feedback you need from your employees to improve. There are good reasons for this:

  • Employees fear retaliation for giving critical feedback to their boss

  • There is a lack of trust that the feedback will be well-received

  • Past experiences of giving feedback that fell on deaf ears

  • Your employees simply don't know how to provide constructive criticism


It's not their fault, and it's not your fault. It's just the reality of the workplace.


But there is a solution - the Feedforward technique.


What is Feedforward?

Feedforward is a future-focused method for management development created by renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith. Unlike traditional feedback, which dwells on the past, Feedforward:


  • Concentrates on 1-2 key behaviors you want to improve

  • Involves a support system

  • Uses consistent follow-ups to make the changes stick

  • Is a long-term process, not a one-time exercise


Proven with top CEOs, Feedforward finally allows you to get the honest criticism you need to reach your full potential as a leader.


Your coach, Axel Rittershaus, is your perfect guide on your journey. He knows what leadership means and how Feedforward can supercharge the success of leaders:

  • ran his own companies for almost 30 years
