20、单词。When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?Why Difficult?When we wrong someone we know, even not intentionally, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when were acting as leaders, the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not merely at

21、 the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record.

27、apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organizat
