It depends on how long this leave takes. 6wks, 12wks, 6 months?
All your current work loads can be categorized into A)urgent -important; B) urgent - not-important; C) not urgent- important and though we thought for startups, there won't be D) not-urgent and not-important, but there could be - if you question those tasks really hard lol.
I would recommend treat ABCD with different approaches. For A)Have the plan and directions, hand over to a current colleague you trust, or your manager. B) Hire an immediate contract for this, or ignore it for now. C) Have a thought and plan on this, have your stake on this, but depends on how long you are leaving - this could be the best re-entry task for your coming back! D) the key take away for D is really to identify those and then cross them.
