HUMOUR
Good leaders don”t
take themselves too
seriously.They know HOW
TO LAUGH and
are willing to
laugh themselves. Since they
have a firm
grip on who
they are and
what they are
about , they aren”t threatened
by the understanding that
their associates are
keenly awre of
their foibles and
probably have had
a laugh or
two at their
expense.
Good leaders
know that a bit of
measured silliness can
break the bondage
of prolonged SERIOUSNESS. A carefully
chosen , well—placed JOKE or
HUMOROUS STORY can instantly
reverse the NEGATIVE
MOOD OF A
MEETING. HUMOUR is also
effective in breaking
down the walls
between leadership and
the team . A shared
JOKE with the
team may not
only calm a
tense situation , it
can create rapport
and cultivate trust.
When the leader
laughs , the team shares
a sense of
relief.
Nobody trusts
a leader who
doesn”t know HOW
TO LAUGH . LINCOLN
had a sharp
WIT. KENNEDY kidded
with the PRESS. The greatest leaders
are CONTENT with
themselves and are
able to SMILE.
“HUMOUR IS
TO LIFE WHAT
SHOCK ABSORBERS ARE
TO AUTOMOBILES. “ --- Stan
Toler.
