Laughter & Leadership: How Humor Can Make You a Better Leader

Humor is a powerful tool for leadership, as it reduces stress and releases endorphins that promote an overall sense of well-being. It also helps people perceive leaders as more approachable and supportive, which is a big plus in getting teams to perform better and helping them through the rough patches of a project. Humor is the best medicine, as it reduces stress hormones and releases endorphins that promote an overall sense of well-being. To be a better leader, adjust your leadership style and use emotional intelligence to be more empathetic and understanding of others' emotional needs. Allow laughter in the workplace, and try team bonding games to lighten the mood and tighten the group.
