A short spoken segment from a YouTube video by Mark MacLeod arguing that when CEOs take real, communicated vacations (e.g., asking not to be contacted), it reduces follow-up involvement, forces others to decide, and over time helps scale the business by decentralizing decisions and decreasing email/interruptions.

Once you take real vacations and you tell people like, hey, please try not to contact me. What I learned is every time I take a vacation, especially feels like a two week vacation, I would just end up getting less email after. There'd be, I'd be pulled into less stuff after. And it's like people just have to make a decision without you. And so over time I realized, like, oh, this is actually letting us scale the business better.
