Leadership from the Lion’s Den
Went to a BNI meeting yesterday where someone read from a leadership book–something with “Lion’s Den” in the title. (If you are reading this and know the correct title, please let me know and I can edit this blog entry.). The section was about humor and how it helps one’s leadership abilities. In the workplace, using your sense of humor helps to increase your creativity, productvity, optimism, and makes it easier for people to relate to you. You become more human and approachable to both your superiors and your subordinates.
People who have a sense of humor make a more rapid, interesting and enjoyable climb up the corporate ladder. Their sense of humor separates them from the also-rans, because they remain calm and don’t take confounding situations too seriously.
