<abstract>For a leader, a public apology is always a high-risk move. Understanding what apologies can and cannot do will help leaders to avoid both foolhardy stonewalling and unnecessary contrition. A leader's apology is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record</abstract>
