I actually took 3 months off and completely disconnected. A large portion of my direct team churned while I was off, a long time engineer took his own life, and I came back to the same issues but magnified.

Overall, it's not unreasonable to assume I'm a control freak and couldn't let projects go. However I'm a big proponent of letting fires burn and I delegate to no end. My particular type of stuck was exasperated by a corporate culture that has sales quotas pulled out of the air and implementation that was tracking time down to the minute because 90% had to be billable. In that culture there's no incentive or ability for individuals to learn.
