The power of regret

INC. THIS MORNING The power of regret Good morning, Regret is our most common negative emotion, says author Daniel Pink. He should know: He's spent years studying the feeling, soliciting responses from more than 16,000 people on their personal regrets. The results--as well as plenty of additional research--went into his latest book, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. While regrets are uncomfortable to dwell on, Pink says, they ought not to be brushed off--especially in the workplace. If dealt with properly, regrets “can help us make better decisions. They can help us become better negotiators, better problem solvers, and better strategists if we treat them right," he says. Disclosing your regrets can even help you connect better with your team, Pink told Inc. in the latest episode of the What I Know podcast.
