Delivering an engaging talk to 150 Hult alumni attendees at a networking event in London, Muhtar advised Hultians to “celebrate failure,” instead of always focusing on attaining success. “If I would do anything different in my 36-year career, then it would be to create an atmosphere which allows mistakes, as you learn so much from mistakes. We are not bold enough to take enough risks, and risk is critical for success. We don’t make enough mistakes. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes; just don’t repeat them,” he said. The event was a fantastic insight into Muhtar’s vision of long-term success for Coca-Cola, which is one of the top five private employers in the world.
