Ben Morton delivers a concise guide for managers preparing to be away, such as on holiday. He outlines three actionable steps: (1) broaden delegation in the days leading up to the break by assigning tasks that are usually retained; (2) identify the core jobs the team must continue handling while the manager is absent; and (3) set crystal‑clear expectations about who has decision‑making authority and to whom any challenges should be escalated during the absence. The advice aims to ensure continuity, reduce bottlenecks, and empower the team to operate smoothly without direct oversight.
