That’s how Jeter says he approached the game every day and attributes his extraordinary success and longevity to his preparation for the game’s perpetual failures.World-class marketing teams plan with failure in mind by preparing for multiple scenarios, being nimble to respond to customer/market need and perpetually honing their craft on the back of every success and misstep along the way.</p>
