But when we' reacting as leaders, the circumstances are differen

42、t. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the 55 but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every word or expression 56 , as they become part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So,57 to apologize can be see

43、n as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. Why now?The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more 58 . During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings

44、are made far more 59 than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of 60 apologies.61, more and more articles, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of _62_ _ apologies. Although they are not carried out in the public

45、place, we can ' n eglect the importance of this performance. Why 63 ?Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy 64 forcriticism. They are expected to appear strong and capab

46、le. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a strong 65 . Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs

47、 of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so. Why refuse?Why is it that leaders so often try every 66 to avoid apologies, even when a public apologyseems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public _67, their apologies are likely to be person

48、ally uncomfortable and even 68 risky. Apologiescan be signals for admitting mistakes and mistakes can be indication of job insecurity. Leaders may alsobe afraid that 69_ of a mistake willdamage or destroy the organization for which they areresponsible. There can high-risk strategy.be good reasons fo

While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow.Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknownmountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving

However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio t

56、hat the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chanceof survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine (尿)everywhere and smellingof death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon

57、if we werenot rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finishe

Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at t
