Vacations are usually seen as time to rest and recharge. But they can also be one of the best opportunities you'll have to improve how you work, develop your team, and create space for higher-value responsibilities.
In this episode, I share practical ways to use vacations, parental leaves, medical leaves, sabbaticals, or even a long weekend, as a catalyst to rethink your role instead of simply returning to business as usual.
What You'll Learn From This Episode:
- Why becoming indispensable may be limiting your leadership growth.
- How time away reveals opportunities to delegate, simplify, and improve your work.
- A practical four-step process to redesign your role and create more capacity for strategic work.
- How vacations can accelerate the development of your team while improving your own work-life balance.
