There are certain steps that you need to take in order to go on long vacations. Time away from work is needed and allows you to recenter. Make the time to remove yourself from the chaos so that you can look at the business differently. Here are 4 steps to allow you to go on longer vacations:
Don't be a hero - We don't feel like we can go on vacations because too often we feel like we are the only people who can do what we do. This might be correct in some instances but there is likely someone (or a couple people) in your company who can cover your business.
Let the team solve problems - Don't get in the way of people trying to solve the problems. Step out of their way and allow them to solve the issue at hand.
Be okay with the results - Your team might actually do a better job at solving the problem but they might not do it in the way that you normally would. It might also happen that the solved issue is not as good as how you would have done it but DON'T CORRECT their efforts. There will be a time for instruction and recap but not when it is initially handled.
Congratulate them for success - Give the credit where it is due. Reward the people who helped out. Ensure that they receive the credit for what they did.
Now go on your vacation and enjoy!
