On Taking Humor Seriously

Topic:Method

Posted on:Aug 22 2014

Captured by:David J

Method:Previous Writings

Humor defuses intensities:

1) It keeps people from taking themselves too seriously
2) it keeps people from taking situations too seriously.

The irony is this: humor is rarely taken seriously, and yet it is a serious tool in the hand of any leader.
