Most leaders struggle with apologizing because they believe it makes them appear weak and undermines their authority. Ultimately, they do not believe they did anything wrong.

But we do have to be accountable. Today, I break down the ingredients of a meaningful apology, why so few leaders do it well, and how it can become one of your most impactful leadership tools.
