[quote=Anonymous]I had similar feeling before my first. I had just gotten a promotion and was taking 16 weels maternity leave. I got some advice from a mentor that had proved invaluable in many extended absence situations. One of the other PP's talked about owning the position - that is exactly it. BEFORE you have the baby, formulate and implement a comprehensive plan of how YOU want things done while you are out and what your expectations are. Think it through so that your boss and employees are NOT trying to cobble things in your absence. That is when people learn to live without you - when they figure how that they can get it done without your input. Think through allocation of duties, processes, etc. Have a meeting where you present this plan to your boss and the people that report to you. Because folks will be following the plan that you implemented, you are actually directing traffic when you ar enot even there. [/quote]
