In 100 Words: Power of a Sincere Apology

Organizations are made up of us, humans, who often goof up. How often do we offer/see a heartfelt apology in corporate world?

As leaders, we find it too difficult to apologize. We take the route of excuses and self-justification. For issues with new Maps, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook offered a public apology and showed once again why Apple is so admired.

Seeking apology is a sign of strong character. It shows compassion and brings you/others out of an unchangeable past. It generates credibility.

Apology is not just nice words put together. It has to be, almost always, followed by actions.
