McCombs School of Business Dean Tom Gilligan interviewed former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Procter & Gamble, A.G. Lafley, as part of the VIP Distinguished Speaker Series.
During Lafley's nearly 33 years at P&G, sales doubled, profits quadrupled and the company's market value increased by more than $100 billion. Lafley discussed his experiences with P&G and lessons learned.
"Failure is all about learning. So get out there and fail a lot," he said, describing his early employment history.
