Travel Cut Backs
By Ed. Filed in Business, Life, Travel |
I love to travel but most businesses are cutting back on employee travel and using conference calls to conduct meetings. So I am stuck here most of the time instead of having the face time with clients that I think works better than a series of phone calls. But it’s not my decision.
However, our CEO is a high profile man who travels most of the time. His life is a series of airport to hotel to board meeting to airport type of days. He flies all over the country 5 days a week, even with the cutbacks, but he insists on being home with his family on the weekend. If he absolutely cannot be home on the weekend he often arranges for his family to be flown out to wherever he is meeting using his frequent flier miles so they can have some short trips away and spend time with him. I admire his resolve and dedication to his family.
