Laughter & leadership

Laughter has many benefits when working in a team and can become a backbone creating cohesion, generosity of spirit, and enjoyment. Laughter can diffuse a bad situation and remind us not to take ourselves too seriously. It’s also a sign that a team is comfortable being authentic with each other and enough mutual respect exists that egos won’t be bruised by playful joking.
A combination of hard work and laughter for me is the makeup of a truly special team. I enjoy coming to work because I know fun will be had alongside all of the important things I want to get done. It’s not always about finding more ways to work hard. Sometimes it’s finding time to laugh and remember we’re all in this together.
