I used to read only fiction, and I don’t think it impacted my job as it had nothing to do with fiction or creative writing. But when I started branching out into nonfiction books either about leadership, teamwork, or my industry, it has definitely impacted my career in a positive fashion. I can bring ideas with evidence to the table, liken problems we’re running into to problems that have been solved elsewhere, and respond in a more informed fashion to events.
