 Sales Manager's activities and responsibilities are full time.  You can't afford to have gap or interval in these. Normally good Mangers keep training some of the bright person under them for some of their responsibilities. The wise advice is that he should go on leave assigning his responsibilities to one of his team members who is under training with full authority under his watch.  For crucial decisions he should consult him over phone but take his decision with full authority. It is even essential that when he is on leave he should give rest to his mind and body without much disturbance.

Choice B is more relevant to this situation.

par Divyesh Patel , Assistant Professional Officer- Treasury , City Of Cape Town
