In this episode of Doing CX Right, Stacy Sherman and Daniel H. Pink, the author of five New York Times bestsellers, explain the value of regret and how looking backward moves us forward.

Regret Is An Intense Emotion.

It’s most often experienced when we feel we have made a mistake or missed an opportunity, and feelings of guilt, remorse, or shame can accompany it. While regret feels unpleasant, it can also serve as a powerful motivator for positive change.

Leaders can reflect on past choices and learn from their mistakes in a business context. By examining their regret and the factors that contributed to them, people can identify patterns and make changes to their decision-making processes to reduce the likelihood of similar mistakes in the future.

Regret can also be valuable for leaders to communicate with their team members and help them learn from their mistakes. By sharing stories of their regrets and lessons, managers can create a culture of continuous learning and growth within their organization.

  • The role that the emotion of regret plays in the business world.
  • How to manage and channel regret to show up for the team and customers in the best way possible.
