Sometimes when the boss is away the team works better. At least, that is the case with my team. I don't really know why. Because I really think I am not a bad boss. But apparently either I am or they just don't need one and I am in the end a distraction.

Maybe coordination costs are lower when the boss is away? So more time is spent focusing on the task in the short term. And consequences would show up latter? When my boss went on maternity leave , the first 2 months were a breeze then things started getting harder.

This would seem to apply to health outcomes being cited in the thread as well. Yes, if we shut down all hospitals tomorrow, less people would die in the short term. Presumably that affect diminishes and reverses relatively soon.
