Good Morning Folks,
Humor is a great tool in the management box. We are all human, and the ability to laugh together about appropriate things combined with strong empathetic leadership, a great organizational system and a team mentality, creates a winning combination.
Humor is very important to life. Laughing is contagious and can change the mood of a situation instantly. When applied correctly in business, and not at the expense of others, it is extremely powerful. Learning to use it respectfully can strengthen internal relationships, diffuse conflict, show modesty and reminds us all that we are human.
Being able to bond with others that you have to be around on a professional level is the key to the success, and adds light to almost any situation. Humor is a great icebreaker as well and plays a big role in one's attitude, and when you feel better you perform better in almost every aspect of life.
A good manager can use the humor in many ways. It can bring the enjoyment to his/her meeting room, drawing the smiles on his/her employee's faces, bonding with others and sometimes he/she can used it wisely to send a hidden messages to his /her employees in an appropriate way.
