Who me, apologize? Whether at work, at home in our families, or in the public, every day someone is harmed in some way, intentionally or unintentionally and believes that they are entitled to an apology. These are for big conflicts that trigger lawsuits from the workplace or in handling a parent’s estate, or for smaller slights that grow in magnitude over time. Often the other person is reluctant to give an apology. But is there still reluctance when there is an understanding of what makes up an effective apology? Apologies can open more communication and understanding doors-if there is an interest. After listening to the following I must admit that I’ve given some pretty lame apologies over the years. Take a listen even if you have absolutely no intentions of apologizing.
