For many leaders, there comes a time when you can’t be with your team for an extended period.
Say you’re going on parental leave or sabbatical. Since you’re invested in your people, I know that one question will begin to nag you from the moment you consider a leave of absence: who is going to lead your team while you’re away? Who is going to guide, support, and challenge the team as a whole and each individual on it?
Of course, you could just ask a trusted peer to take on your team and you’d know they’d be in good hands.
