Leave <COMPLETE – HANDBOOK>

Successful leave begins with intentional delegation and being explicit about what is in and out of scope while away.

Planning for extended leave—whether for parental, medical, or personal reasons—requires strategic preparation to ensure a smooth transition for both the individual and their team.

Managers returning from leave are encouraged to "listen, learn, and help take the load back" rather than rushing to prove their worth immediately.

Instead of sending leaves to a landfill, they can be used as a soil amendment or natural mulch in garden beds to improve water retention.
