The best leaders invest time on personal growth. One element to personal growth is taking time to listen to audio content: audio books, teachings/lessons, and Podcast episodes. Harry S. Truman said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” This statement is just as true with listening to audio content.
