Each mental model gives you a new way of thinking about how you communicate, manage, and lead.

Unlike specific management techniques or tactics, those models can be mixed and matched.

You can use all of them. Or none of them. Or you can take one and modify it to your own liking.

Think of those models as heuristics instead of rules of law.
