OOO and O
It’s that time of year. I’m signing off and taking a break. It’s also a good time to send a little reminder as we begin summertime: It’s ok to unplug.
It’s harder. It’s also essential.
For years I’ve written about the importance of signing off. Even the dog gets to be a dog when they camp for a week, take off the collars, swim in the lake, and burrow in the cool shaded dirt under the picnic table.
We give our teams the chance to back us up or back-fill for one another so we can return the favor when it’s their turn. We get much needed rest. We also empower our teams to fill the void. We catch a break from being connected all the time.
Rather we get to turn our heads to friends and family. The sights and scenes and the lasting memories. Those made through experience rather than a screen. Whether you staycation or travel the globe. Take a break and enjoy the view. And let your team enjoy the gift of time without you.
Happy Summer! I’ll see you on Friday with Anthea on 6/21.
Till we blog again!
