WorkLife: The secrets of a great apology

TED
About this episode

When you mess up, a sincere apology can make all the difference. But making things right takes more than a simple “I’m sorry.” In this episode, Adam takes us from the pre-kindergarten classroom to Formula One’s race track to investigate what it takes to make amends, right wrongs, and repair relationships. 


Guests: pre-K teacher Kath Konecky; management professor Beth Polin; Formula One executive Mark Gallagher.
