Technology is a lot like a vacation. Done right, you plan for it and imagine how it will be executed. The goal is to have improved in some way as a result of the experience. For a vacation, that improvement can be reconnecting with family, relaxing, and catching up on your reading. For technology projects, that improvement can be better information, understanding what makes your business and its people tick, or even learning from missteps.
Most people approach time off with passion.
They make an extra effort to make this time as productive as they can in meeting their objectives. Still, that upfront ambition often leads to a better execution of a plan to make the summer and its vacation successful. People who have passion, succeed . That passion is expressed in customer support, quality of product and service, innovation, creativity, and leadership. This adage is especially important for people in technology-related positions.
