Signs of a good executive are....
#1. Make your staff do the work
#2. Make sure you get the credit for good management

So I have my MCSEs and MCSDs working this holiday. Tomorrow is just another day for these people. Although the rest of our company is off, I mandated all IT staff to report in. After all, we have thousands of SRX cases open with Microsoft. We have a couple of issues with our production deployment of Exchange 14 and Windows 7. But I will be on-call. I told them, call me on my cell and leave a message if I do not answer. I then reported to other C-level executives here that as CIO, I DEMANDED all IT staff to work with no additional salary incentives. I was applauded as a hero. I told the guys I would have ordered in pizza but all the pizza places are closed. Luckily my rep had a great idea, order it today and let them ear it cold.
