I’m not saying to drop what you’re doing and just leave the office. Work with your managers to find a time that your absence will be minimally missed and depending on where you’re going make sure you have channels of communication in place so that you can be contacted if necessary. Whether it’s a few days at Hershey Park or 5 days at sea, it’s ok to take a few days away. Your staff and your clients will understand and your family will appreciate the time spent with them. In fact, when you come back refreshed and energized, your staff will thank you for it!
