Reading is a key aspect of professional development and can have numerous benefits for both individuals and organizations. It helps to improve knowledge, expand perspective, and keep up with the latest trends and best practices in one's field of choice. Here are just a few reasons why reading is so important for professional development:
- Improved knowledge and skills: Reading helps expose individuals to new ideas, concepts, and ways of thinking, which can help improve their knowledge and skills in their profession. This can be especially useful for those who are looking to stay current in their field or to learn about new technologies and techniques that may be relevant to their work.
- Increased perspective and understanding: Reading can help individuals see things from a different perspective and better understand the world around them. This can be especially valuable in today's rapidly changing and complex world, where it is essential to be able to think critically and understand the broader context of events and issues.
- Enhanced communication and collaboration: Reading can help individuals develop their communication skills, both written and oral, by exposing them to different writing styles and approaches to presenting information. It can also help improve their ability to collaborate with others, as reading can help individuals better understand different viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving.
- Professional growth and advancement: Reading is often seen as a sign of professionalism and dedication to one's field. By demonstrating a willingness to learn and grow, individuals can position themselves for advancement and growth within their organization.
There is no doubt reading is an essential aspect of professional development that can help individuals improve their knowledge, skills, and perspective, and position themselves for growth and success in their careers. As I think about some of the best books I read this year that will certainly be high on the list of books to re-read in 2023, the following come to mind:

The Success Lie by Janelle Bruland
