❓Good problem or Bad problem? There's never a time that I'm not in the process of reading another book, and it appears that Karen Smerchek, President of Veriha Trucking, Inc., who joined me recently on Taking The Hire Road, is the same way. One of my favorite parts of the show, is the opening segment where I ask about an impactful book. Karen listed FOUR! 😳 - Atomic Habits by James Clear (one of the most often referenced on the show) - Dare to Lead by Brené Brown - Principles by Ray Dalio - 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer Reading is a great way to exercise the mind, to learn, to grow. But I buy way more books than I have time to read! Perhaps I need a new year's resolution, as well?! 🤷♂️ 👇👇 Link to the full episode with Karen Smerchek in the comments below 👇👇
