Have you ever imagined how forced we feel to take a break? Breaks are daunting because of the flood of activities they bring to you.
You get addicted to clearing inboxes or finishing meetings, only to see fill them up in no time. Taking breaks only create longer queues to clear!
Or so you think. Until you find a slightly longer break to take.
Some presumptuous steps that lead to this situation are mainly commonsense oversights.
You impeccably place yourselves at the centre of all the action. You think only you are the best person to make decisions.
Taking breaks challenges this hypothesis. It can show you if you have built an environment ripe for distributed decision-making. Finally, you see who shows initiative in times of absence.
Management by absence is an excellent way to test if you have created an empowered, collaborative, and scalable environment for anything you involve yourself in.
Heroics, as history shows, go only so far!
