Humor To Help You Become A Good Leader

Kevin Daum, a best-selling writer and entrepreneur in America, met George Wallace, the most humorous comedian by the American comedy center, and shared on INC how to use humor to help anyone become a better leader.

Here he shared 8 simple techniques.

1. motivates people.

When teams seem dull and listless, humor can keep them awake and move on.

When George gets to the stage of Vegas, it is often necessary to wake up the weary and late night gamble audience and let them continue.

His first job was to get in touch and laugh at them with jokes, so people would feel good and alert.

As George pointed out, "your body doesn't feel good, so you can't laugh."

2. create lasting memories.

If you are trying to get your team to remember something, find an interesting way to explain it.

Laughter can stimulate an Dove, which is responsible for locking memories in the brain.

This is why he is still telling the interesting story of George when he was a child more than 50 years ago.

3. break

If the argument is intense and the temper is gunpowder, humor will be like a reset button that touches the mood.

It helps to separate people from problems and let people relax, so that they can breathe freely.

Next, you can reopen the discussion from a happier tone.

George reminds me that, in a word, even when it is serious, "life is fun."

4. look at things correctly.

Usually people take themselves too seriously.

Next we were alarmed by a slight mistake.

George suggested.

"If you are stupid, you will remain stupid.

Once you find it late, you do something stupid and really suffer.

Well, you are already in a stupid place and put it on file.

Let it be so bad that you will never forget it next time.

That's right. In the long run, you will be smarter. "

5. fun.

George pointed out that you should not become a despicable person there.

This attitude can only cause problems.

In fact, the despicable old man starts all wars.

Do not become the promoter of war.

Don't let them feel trampled.

As George said, "if you see someone who doesn't smile, give your smile to them."

Others who meet you constantly smiling and laughing will be willing to join your team.

You will attract those who are one in a hundred.
