Americans don’t get much vacation time. For instance, the average employee with five years at a particular company receives about 12 days of paid vacation, compared to the mandatory 20 days for members of the European Union. After living in Europe for six years, I can attest that people take that vacation as well. In fact, our first summer here my husband’s boss announced he was going diving in the Maldives—for four weeks. He didn’t even take his laptop. Did the department wither without the boss’s leadership? Absolutely not. Everyone considered it normal behavior.

These smart, competent employees want to feel inspired. Goal setting. Feedback.
