I toyed with handing out my cell number and making myself available for calls, but that seemed like a mistake. This way, the team has leadership they can turn to, and I can still take my vacation. Both sides are covered. Option 3: I'm going to focus on keeping on task and putting things in perspective. You know, prioritizing issues that come up and exercising a little mental discipline to remind myself that the situation…arrow_forwardQUESTION ONEProduct X is made of two units of Y and three units of Z.
