Parental Leave Is a Leadership Risk.
Download our practical framework to protect your marketing momentum, relationships, and team stability during parental leave and critical absences.
Designed for marketing leaders responsible for continuity and team stability.
Parental leave is not a pause.
It is a test of leadership continuity.
Most organizations rely on shared responsibility to get through it. That approach fails quietly, then all at once.
This checklist gives marketing leaders a clear way to maintain strategy, authority, and momentum while a key leader is out.
Why “We’ll Figure It Out” Fails
Work gets divided.
Ownership disappears.
Decisions slow. Brand voice drifts. Teams carry risk they should not.
Divided ownership is not real coverage.
This is how momentum slips and returning leaders inherit problems they did not create.
What This Checklist Does
This is not task coverage.
This is leadership continuity.
This checklist helps you:
✓ Identify risk before it shows up in missed revenue or lost trust
✓ Establish clear decision ownership
✓ Maintain strategic consistency during absence
✓ Set expectations that hold
✓ Support a strong, confident return
Designed for marketing leaders responsible for continuity and team stability.
Built From an Executive Framework
This checklist is a condensed version of the six-step framework I use when serving as Interim Marketing Leader during parental leave and critical absences.
It reflects what actually breaks when leadership steps away and what must be stabilized so nothing does.
Inside the Checklist
Designed for marketing leaders and executives who cannot afford a leadership vacuum.
You will get:
✓ A simplified leadership continuity framework
✓ A pre-leave planning checklist for senior marketers
✓ A structure for ownership and authority
✓ Communication prompts for alignment
✓ A return-to-work readiness outline
If you want clarity instead of chaos, you are in the right place.
This checklist gives you the structure you need.
When continuity needs to be carried at the executive level, it reflects how I step in to ensure momentum, trust, and teams remain intact.
