The Art of Taking Time Off
The benefits of taking time off from work.
Sabbaticals just seem to agree with some people. The last time Ben Cohen took time off from Ben & Jerry's Homemade, he came back so charged up he immediately launched the nonprofit 1% for Peace. Recently, Cohen returned from a second sabbatical with plans to create the first socially responsible M.B.A. program in the country. "We want to educate a new generation of leaders who will make decisions with two bottom lines in mind: the impact on profit and the impact on the community and the environment," says the ice-cream man. As for the secret to a productive sabbatical, Cohen advises, "Make sure you don't get anything accomplished while you're away from your company. Do absolutely nothing."
