from Corporate Strategy · host The Corporate Strategy Group
We go from theme-park chaos to a practical talk on how teams handle time off when a key person disappears for two weeks. We share what employees can do to protect their work, and what managers can do to build redundancy without burning out the team. • debating what happens when a critical specialist takes time off • giving enough notice and setting expectations before PTO • using signatures, statuses, calendars, and handoffs for clear communication • documenting workflows and access so coverage is possible • cross-training and runbooks as a path to promotability • manager options: step in, delegate as growth, or coach better planning • avoiding “I’ll do it my way” coverage that creates hidden chaos Like, comment, subscribe, ring the bell, share the podcast.
