*One day, American auto tycoon Henry Ford 🕵🏼‍♂️made a surprising decision:* he sent all of his department heads on a two-week cruise through the Caribbean. *No exceptions.* Even those who protested or claimed they couldn’t leave — had to go. Ford’s only command? *“Relax, swim, soak up the sun 🌞. That’s an order.”* *When the managers returned, some were promoted 🥳.* *Others? Fired 😞.* *Why 🤔?* Because while they were gone, *Henry Ford 🕵🏼‍♂️* quietly observed how their departments functioned without them. If everything ran smoothly - it meant the leader had built *a strong 💪, self-sufficient team.* If chaos erupted - it meant the team was too dependent on the boss. And that was a failure of leadership. 💡 *Sometimes, the best test of a leader 👑... is what happens when they’re not around.* So next time your boss offers you a cruise — be very, very prepared. 😄
