My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A fun and productive approach to management and supervision...

It is necessary for leaders to develop trust, and one method to do so is through the use of humor. To a large extent, a future leader can acquire the skills necessary to perform well in various leadership roles through formal education and experience. Personal integrity and a good sense of humor are two attributes that are harder to teach. The first of these attributes, integrity (or lack thereof), receives a lot of focus, but having a good sense of humor is often overlooked.

As the author states, when used by leaders, humor has been demonstrated to have a variety of positive effects, including increased worker morale, improved group cohesiveness, and even a positive impact on the results of larger businesses. The book examines how to use humor to improve leadership effectiveness, with a special emphasis on improved communication and team growth. Utilizing standards for the use of humor, with an emphasis on the importance of acceptable humor and the importance of training staff members about the dangers of using inappropriate humor. He also discusses the significance of humor in the process of empowering people, as well as humorous habits and strategies that leaders may employ at work.

David Jacobson’s “Highly Humorous Leadership” is a fun and productive approach to management and supervision that comes highly recommended and gets a well-deserved five stars from me.
