In reading “Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback,” I
have discovered that I agree with the concept. That is because when hearing
Feedback, you cannot help but feel like it is judgment of your past and leaves
you feeling negative, attempted respective writing or not. It is simply just
hard to receive or give feedback if you are judging the past. However, if you
look towards the future and only focus on giving suggestions that will help in
the future, not what was wrong or proving they are wrong; one will feel a sense
of success and have positive outlooks. I would very much rather give feedforward and receive
it rather than feedback because I find it hard myself when heading towards the
feedback route. This is because I feel that I may be “too mean” in my reply
when I am not trying to be, but with feedforward I will not have to worry about
that. I absolutely love this idea! Therefore, I am going to try to make my
feedback more feedforward so it will be perceived in a positive matter no
matter what. I frankly, want to be as nice as I can in my replies.
Hi there, Kaylee! I read the same article! I too agree with the concept. I agree with what you took from it; like you said, you truly do just get tunnel vision and focus on the negative when you receive negative feedback, whereas if it were positive, you focus on your future and feel more of a want (or even a need) to get better and focus on your future accomplishments. Even just accepting failure as accomplishment... accepting is as just a chance to get better, that truly helps a lot. I love your brutal honesty. It feels much more sincere and real that way. Great job!
