A brief conversational excerpt from a YouTube video where Will Humphreys and another speaker discuss leadership values and the ability to disconnect from work. Humphreys argues that clear values let leaders trust team members to act independently, while the other speaker gives personal examples (backpacking with no cell service, deleting emails) illustrating freedom to unplug.

It's not just loose, there's the values. And then once the values are in place, then they can freely act within that lane. And there's a small part of you that feels like, maybe I should know more. But you realize at the end of the day, they're doing their job. It's awesome.
So it's nice to be able to leave. Like, next week, I'll be on a backpack trip, no cell service, and I have nothing to worry about. And I'm leaving again for two weeks in August to go back to British Columbia backpacking. And there'll be no cell service. And I know I'm going to come back to, like, a thousand emails, but I can unabashedly delete, and if it's important, they'll email me.
