Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Managers who continue thinking about work after hours may actually harm their leadership performance. A study found that not taking a break from work in the evening, especially for new managers, drained their mental resources and reduced leadership effectiveness. Leaders who mentally switched off from work the night before felt more recharged and identified more strongly with their role as a leader.
