It would be nice if all the self-help books that offer a clean-cut formula to run your business actually worked as seamlessly as they sound. But the best leaders know that business is more complex than that. The best leaders know the difference between principles and prescriptions. Principles help shape how we live, lead, and the decisions we make. These are our mental models of how the engine works. But often times, it’s too easy to want prescriptions.
