#24 Why Working on Vacation Destroys Your Leadership Impact

Wednesday Apr 09, 2025

Discover why working during your vacation isn’t a badge of honor—it’s leadership sabotage. Learn to stop undermining your influence, empower your team, and finally master true rest for maximum leadership impact...

Ever catch yourself checking emails poolside instead of actually soaking in the sun?

Let me guess: You think you’re being responsible—maybe even a hero—but what you're actually doing is destroying your leadership impact. You're training your team to be dependent, creating resentment, and fueling burnout (yours included!).

Here’s a truth bomb: Constant availability isn’t impressive—it's toxic.

This week's Leader Fuel episode, "Why Working on Vacation is Destroying Your Leadership Impact," dives deep into why this habit is killing your effectiveness. More importantly, I share practical steps to:

Clearly define boundaries that honor your rest and your team's productivity.
Delegate powerfully to inspire autonomy and trust.
Use intentional self-care to skyrocket your leadership effectiveness.

Ready to trade that frazzled, always-on anxiety for powerful, rejuvenated leadership? Give this episode a listen. Your leadership (and sanity!) depends on it.
