She said I am funny. That makes it easy to talk to me.
It made me think. No one likes a boring manager.
Humour is an important part of good leadership
Don’t be the boring manager who only talks about performance.
Add some humour to your leadership toolkit.
Because with humour you can:
💡 Build Stronger Connections:
Humour enables a sense of togetherness and trust among team members
💡 Improve Communication:
It makes messages more memorable and engaging, encouraging open dialogue and creativity.
💡 Reduce Stress:
Humour creates a light-hearted environment, reducing stress, leading to a more productive and positive workplace.
🚫 Caution: Adding humour into your leadership style is not about being a comedian.
It is important to find the right balance.
Tips for doing it right:
👉 Be Authentic: Use humour that aligns with your personality.
👉 Know Your Audience: Tailor your humour to suit the team’s culture and dynamics. Be sensitive to cultural differences.
👉 Use Humour to Defuse Tension: Lighten the mood during stressful situations to keep the team motivated and focused.
