As we come near the end of the key leadership principles which are the foundation of the Leadership Program developed by UnLeash the KNOW, we take a look at the value of laughter that a strong leader will encourage and enjoy. Laughter has long been associated with lower blood pressure, more endorphins and a generally healthy work and home environment.
Humour and laughter breaks down walls and opens communication. Humour should never offend anyone no matter who is in the room or who may walk into the room at any time.
Laughter shared at the office or in any public never be offensive to anyone who may walk in the room. Whether it is a particular word or the theme or target, keep in mind that you do not know a person's previous experience, their background or sensitivities. A leader will ensure that no one will be offended in what should be a light relaxed moment. An environment where there is no laughter, can be uncomfortable, tense and less productive. Offensive humour is equally counter productive and may even lead to union or legal action.
Few things will bond people like a shared laugh. Remember the punchline and forget the stress, even if just for a moment each day.
