Travel Essential for Any Business Owner. . . Trust

It's the day before I leave for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, something I look forward to every year,  but  my main focus isn’t on packing or on the multitude of meetings I have scheduled. It’s on making sure everyone on my staff is prepared for the three days I’ll be away. Not only will I delegate tasks and make sure everyone knows what I expect will get done while I'm gone, I also need to be available to hear updates and project reports from my employees, all before I leave. Of course, no one can predict the little things that will inevitably pop up here and there, but that’s why it’s important to have a staff you can trust to handle it all. And this year I’m taking a firm stance on one thing - no phone calls (unless it’s absolutely crucial, of course). If you’re into the New Orleans music scene but can’t make it to this year’s festival, check out the webcast.
