Consuming good design content from leaders in the UX and product design spaces makes you a more effective design leader over time.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
