How experiencing regret can make you a better leader and impact your business success
In this episode we explore one of the most misunderstood yet common emotions: regret. “As we get older, we regret what we *didn’t* do much more than what we did. Over time, regrets of inaction easily outnumber regrets of action,” our host Daniel Pink states. What does this mean for our work? How can the emotion ‘regret’ help us in driving and manifesting change in the workplace, our leadership and teams?

In the conversation Nick and Daniel look at how smart, ‘unbossed’ leaders can use regrets to create positive, life-altering moments in the lives of their teams and themselves, leading to improved performance, higher creativity and ultimately, a more resilient business that is able to confront and conquer challenges.
