It's not every CEO who plays a Britney Spears song at a company-wide presentation.
But "Oops, I Did It Again" was a key part of a recent meeting led by Sara Blakely, the self-made-billionaire founder and owner of the intimate-apparel company SPANX.
Blakely had organized the presentation around her "oops" moments, or the mistakes she'd made throughout the company's history.
In this particular presentation, Blakely went through a bunch of "oops" moments, some more recent than others, and assigned a theme song to each one. "Oops, I Did It Again" played while Blakely talked about a particular pattern of mistakes she'd made.
When it comes to her employees, Blakely says it's important for them to approach their failures from a constructive perspective.
"If there's a failure or an oops in your life," she said, "if you learn from it and if you can laugh about it, then it's all worth it."
