I agree with what he says in this video. Apologizing is extremely powerful and it is not used nearly enough. If people would apologize more then I believe our society as a whole would be better. Pride keeps us from admitting we were wrong. When you apologize it not only makes the other person feel better, but it keeps you at a point of humility. And Humility in my opinion is a great quality in a leader.

I agree that an apology can sometimes be the most powerful tool to overcome disagreements. Apologies go a long way to soothing frayed nerves; especially if you are the person that is in the wrong. In many cases, an apology can help remedy job dissatisfaction. There have been times in the past when a simple apology would have made a situation much better at work. I think a lot of people, myself included, have trouble admitting when they are wrong. This makes it very hard for them to be the bigger person and apologize for what they have done.

When you learn to apologize your business and personal life will go further. I try to listen, analyze, fix the problem and apologize again.

I would agree with this statement, apologies are a very good way to show someone that you care about them. This is important for men to be more specific, apologies are a very good thing to use in the workplace. It passes around a good feeling and you feel better in the work place. He gives good examples of people who wrote books about apologies in the workplace. It leads to more success and growth.

Being apologetic is a way to show that you are able to take responsibility for something that you've done. When apologizing, be sincere and make sure that you can stand behind your apology. Most people will apologize, but have no true meaning behind their apology.

Apologizing is very powerful. However, how that apology is given determines the affect. If an apology is giving insincerely, or jokingly, then it is just words and meaningless.

I'm always apologizing, even if I'm not wrong. I'll apologize just for the confusion. It is a powerful way to let the other person know that you take responsibility as well. Now they don't feel like their the only ones to blame for the problem. Great video.

I completely, 100% agree with this video. I think apologizing has gotten a negative reputation, especially in business, because you're admitting that you were wrong or that you messed up. It amazes me how difficult it is for people to admit that they ARE human and do err. I have more respect for someone that can apologize and admit things than for someone that is "perfect." Besides, America loves a comeback story.

I think apologies hold a lot of power. It speaks volumes when you can set your pride aside and admit where you were wrong. I think being able to truly apologize to people is a great skill to have.

Apologies are very important in business. Burying the hatchet can end a strife with another person so business can move on. I liked this video because more people should learn to admit their mistakes.
