I recommend when managers are creating goals for their employees they create three separate goals: -performance or project goals -development goals -vacation goals When employees know that their manager supports their time to unwind from the day-to-day stresses of work, they actually perform better. In addition, the manager can plan the department's deliverables better knowing when their employees are off. Finally, the manager needs to plan their own vacation time. They too need to step back away from their management responsibilities to replenish their spirit. Pat Thanks for this timely post.
