Brilliant. In my business career, i started several companies from scratch. From nothing. Over time, I found it useful to adopt the mantra of "never apologize, never explain."

Why? It sounds ruthless and cold, but it is actually quite healthy: we go forward from here. It doesn't mean we don't listen. Listening well is key. Learning is key.

But it's about what we do next. No hand wringing. No second guessing. No one wants to hear it. No one. It's a part of leadership.

I like that, Demian. As a lifelong ruminator, I'm now endeavouring to do the same!
