We’ve all failed at times. It seems like the stakes are especially high for us as EAs because we’re trying to make a difference in the world, and failure means not having as much impact as we could. At the same time, EA sometimes entails doing high-risk, high-value projects that have a 99% chance of having no impact but a 1% chance of making a huge difference. I’m curious to hear about your experiences with failure, how you’ve dealt with failure, and your suggestions for how EAs can deal with the possibility of failure.
