Would You Skip a Meeting with the President?

The Unity Community

A Weekly Letter About...

What's Interesting,
and Valuable, to You!

August 14, 2019 - Issue 19-33

Good Afternoon ,

Many hard working executives and workaholics are noted for not taking vacations. Perhaps this is a little less common than several years ago, but it still happens.

Minda Zetlin, one of my favorite contributors to Inc. magazine, addresses the importance of vacations here.

For the CEO of Delta Airlines, his family vacation took precedence over Donald Trump's meeting with airline leaders. Of course that created quite a stir! And it highlights Bastian's belief in keeping promises - in this case, to his family.

The short video at the end of the article explains better why vacations are critical to high performance. It's only a bit over a minute and a half and it's worth watching!

For more reading on this concept, check out this issue of The Unity Community. (It was published before I gave the newsletter a name).

About John

Throughout a career spanning over 45 years my management style has been one of building teams to bring several competent people together to focus on a common objective. I noted early in my career that, in most organizations, there is an enormous amount of time, energy, and effort wasted by people working at cross purposes.

As I transition to life in the Argentine outback, my focus shifts from coaching to helping other business coaches and advisers get their message out to their prospective clients. With my first-hand knowledge of the benefits of effective business coaching, I am uniquely qualified to help business advisers of all stripes convey their message.
