Wednesday, continued …
Leaning over Hou Yi gave Anna a brief kiss and continued. "And I promise you, once we are done those things, I will be coming home to finish resting, as the number of time zones I have changed through over the last ten days is messing with me so much. I need to get my body back to normal as the next eight to ten weeks before I take my paternity leave will be busy."
"You are taking paternity leave?"
"Anna, there is no way that I am going to leave you to cope alone. We have company policies to allow new fathers to spend time with their wife and child. I encourage everyone to take it, even those at senior levels. I need to lead by example as the CEO. There is a good senior management team in place who can deal with most things while I am on paternity leave, and in a worst-case scenario I am a telephone call away. The only thing for those first few weeks is that I will not do any travelling."
