I know an advertising agency owner who never fully takes a vacation. He takes his family to fairly exotic locations, but never so alien that they are outside the reach of modern communication. He is never farther than a cell phone call or e-mail away. He checks in with the office several times a day much to the chagrin of his family who want him to be fully engaged in the holiday. So, he ends up sneaking off under the guise of visiting the restroom or going to the bar for a cocktail to connect with his staff, a client or a prospect. His wife and kids aren't fooled; they just sigh and accept the inevitable. I used to think he was a control freak-someone who couldn't let go and let someone else take over-until I understood the concept of momentum.
