Promising review:"Everything was perfect. I bought this for my boyfriend who used to live in New York.

The Guidelines Executives Can Follow When They Make Public Apologies
The apology by Patti LuPone for what she said about two other Broadway stars is a reminder for ... More executives about the guidelines to follow when they make a public apology. (Photo by) In the days leading up to this Sunday's Tony Awards, 500 Broadway performers and staff signed an open letter urging organizers of the ceremonies to disinvite actress Patti LaPone from the nationally televised event. The move was prompted by what the members of the Broadway community said were 'degrading and misogynistic'remarks LaPone made about fellow stars Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis in a recent New Yorker interview. In response to the backlash, the Tony Awards-winning actress issued a rare public apology The incident in the entertainment world serves as a timely reminder for business leaders about the best practices to follow when they have to make a public apology for what they or their companies did or said. The first step the apology process is to write down and organize what you want to say before you say or do anything, and touch base with management, public relations, and legal teams for their advice and perspectives. Make a list of why the apology is needed, and include all pertinent details. That's because when people rush to apologize without taking the time to think things through, 'they could be missing vital information or could even be apologizing for something that they don't need to/didn't actually happen,' Erica Nulik, a marketing consultant and owner of Erica Nulik Marketing and PR, told me via email. Apologies that are seen as stiff, corporate, and not empathetic can backfire and extend or worsen a crisis. 'Audiences can quickly sense when a response feels rehearsed, vague, or insincere. A strong apology must directly acknowledge the issue, take full responsibility, and speak in a tone that feels human and honest. But words alone aren't enough—there must also be a clear call to action. Without a tangible plan for change or prevention, even the most heartfelt apology rings hollow,' Danielle Grossman, a communications expert, told me in an email message. Make it as easy as possible for people to understand and appreciate the apology, Talk to audiences like you are a human being, not a corporate public relations or marketing department, and address people with respect and with the understanding that they have feelings like yourself. Avoid using any buzzwords, jargon, or acronyms that can create barriers between you and the audience. 'Forget the polished language about 'core values' and 'excellence.' If someone is upset or disappointed, they want to hear that you understand what went wrong and that you care, Contrecia T. Tharpe, chief storyteller and strategist at FayeVaughn Creative, a marketing, branding, and communications firm, advised via email to me. Don't hesitate to apologize because of concerns that it will make you or your organization appear to be weak. 'Apologizing is not a weakness,' Georgina Phillips, co-founder of The Tonic Communications, told me via email. 'It's tempting to hold back, especially when emotions are high or legal teams are involved. But defensiveness or silence can be just as damaging. A sincere apology shows people they've been seen, heard, and valued.' The longer you wait to apologize, the worse things can get. Indeed, delays can provide others with a golden opportunity to criticize you for staying silent. 'When the wrongdoing is revealed, correct it and take ownership right away. The longer you let it fester, the more damage the issue can create,' Drew Deeter, Senior Communications Executive at Deeter Communications Consulting, told me in an email interview. 'Your tone also matters a lot. This isn't the time for legal language or branding spin. The goal is to show integrity. Start with what happened, and say it clearly. And, don't skip the part where you admit the harm,' Nikki Jain, a public relations strategist at The Sprout PR, counseled in an email message that she sent to me. 'When it's time to apologize publicly, the first thing that matters is owning what happened. No hedging, no 'we're sorry if anyone was offended' language. Just say what went wrong and who it hurt. Be real and specific about means skipping the corporate phrasing and getting to the point: We got this wrong. I take full responsibility. Anything less, and especially vague like reactive statements, will only make the situation worse. People can tell when you're dodging,' Jain of The Sprout PR, counseled. Don't treat an apology as a distasteful and unwelcome task that could appear than an organization is going through the motions of a PR ritual. 'Audiences can smell a performative apology from a mile away. The only way through a reputational crisis is through radical transparency. You have to name the harm, accept responsibility and acknowledge the impact not just on your business, but on the humans it affected,' Sarah Schmidt, president of Interdependence Public Relations, counseled in an interview with me. Companies and executives should not wait to prepare an apology until it is needed. The more they are ready to respond to a self-inflicted crisis that requires an immediate apology, the better. 'We advise clients to think ahead. The strongest apologies are often before they're needed—-baked into scenario plans that have aligned a company's issues management strategy with its values. Effective preparation lets leaders move quickly to investigate, fix, address stakeholders, and communicate credibly, instead of scrambling,' Debora Lima, managing director at Sensei Advisory, a corporate communications agency, told me in an email interview. Take the time now to obtain the approval and support of a board of directors and other members of the management team so that when an apology is required, the organization can speak quickly and with a single and unified voice. And decide ahead of time who will speak on behalf of the company. 'All others should defer to the representative's statement to maintain consistency and avoid confusion or mixed messaging,' Valerie Fields, a professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill who teaches crisis communication and public relations writing, told me via email. All crisis management plans should have provisions for including when, how, and why apologies would be made. 'Each situation is unique, of course, but it's important to take a step back and, as best as possible, look at the situation when not in an emotional state. This is why having a crisis plan in place is so important… it's hard to navigate these situations in the heat of the moment (versus relying on a plan created when Cortisone levels aren't through the roof),' Catherine Merritt, CEO of Spool Marketing and Communications, recommended via an email to me. It's just as important to practice preparing and delivering apologies for different scenarios. That way they can determine how well companies would do before they need to apologize for real, and to take the time that's needed to help get it right before find themselves in the public spotlight.
