Principles as Tools

Jannick Malling, Public.com
In conversation with: Toby Corey, Stanford University

Public.com co-founder and co-CEO Jannick Malling explains why the company frames its core principles not as slogans to hang on the wall, but as tools to guide the everyday behavior and the decision-making of employees. When used as tools, he finds, principles allow a team to build a common vocabulary and make consistent decisions as the team scales.
