Its that time of Year...when Every Meeting is Delayed by Vacations

Its that special time of year when every decision or strategic project is impacted by a summer vacation. Ok, I'm guilty too. I'm taking a day-off next week if I can cancel or move all my meetings. Every one seems so polite but I know what their thinking. This week I was delayed on the announcement of a new partner-based solution, because the person who plays a role processing the paperwork was out.

Tip of the week:
During the summer I am becoming a fan of the "voting button" in Outlook. It allows the virtual "vactioning" team members to have a say without setting up the impossible meeting time with all the players.

The biggest challenge...the "Voting Button" doesn't work on the Blackberry. So forget being able to sit at the beach and approve my stuff between a big set of waves...I still have to make a couple of strategic runs to the nearest Starbucks (hotspot) to approve things! Come on Blackberry give me email voting!
