During the stressful life of the manager he builds up many tensions, frustrations and anxieties. Some poor manager might choose to take it out on their employees. The wise or successful one however takes and plans scheduled holidays throughout the year. Work is but its very nature, demanding intense and very draining and a holiday or vacation is the ideal way to relax, relieve tensions and get away from it all. It is not shirking responsibility to take a break, in fact most well earned vacations are justified, encouraged and highly sought after. One has to know one's own levels of capabilities, not overstretching too much, but not being lacks in works responsibility.

There has to be a happy medium. There have to be knowledge of peaking and breaking points. There has to be an awareness of what critical stresses are upon him. Recognizing these is an art, through with good management they become readily apparent because he has a highly organized and well planned schedule that foresees, alleviates and corrects possible contingencies and whilst doing so does so allowing rest periods. Holidays or vacations are not an excuse to get away though that may appear so.

But really are the means of acquiring that rest and recuperation that is justified and allowable through the productive resources and hard work of achieving high results. Holidays are great, enjoying and worthwhile but only when earned. Taking a break to go to the islands or cruise the Caribbean or Mediterranean are fashionable acceptable and right. Though the manager must remember to leave his work in capable hands and then basically take off and forget it.
