What happens to a team when the leader isn't there? Chaos. Eventually, things reorganize and a new leader is chosen - but there's an interim where things go badly.
I'm in that interim. My team needs me for this weekend. I'm aware of how indispensable I am. Which is great for job security, but sucks when you're not able to be there.
So I'm sitting in a bed, nursing a variety of hot beverages, trying to sleep, and hoping that my team can get on without me. The worst thing about the flu is not the nausea or the headaches or the pain, but the knowledge that out there is a group of people I want to help - my people - that I can't.
So I'll throw this one out to the community - what do you do... when you can't do?

I won’t ever win a humility contest. I don’t know if they have those,
giving someone an award for being humble, probably defeats the purpose of
humility....

i realize that maybe the team really can get on without me...and if they can't get along, maybe something needs to change to free up the system a little. i mean if a person can't have the freedom to get sick once a year, where is the justice in that?
