Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Flow-Based Leadership
Judith L. Glick-Smith, Ph.D. · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Lee Ahonen
72/100
👍 Worth It
Grounded in real firefighter case studies and Glick-Smith's own doctoral research, this one earns its stripes with the named GSD leadership model rather than recycled platitudes. It leans niche toward emergency-services readers, but the lessons on leading through high-stakes decisions travel well to any pressure-cooker job. Lee Ahonen's narration is solid and professional, so the listen holds up fine even if it won't wow you.

🎙 Narration: fine Narrated by Lee Ahonen (not the author) — competent casting, though little independent info exists on pacing or style beyond the credit.
