It’s a great way to foster a sense of teamwork. I’ve always believed in the old adage, “We take our work seriously, but not ourselves”
On a separate note, hope it’s OK to tell you I’m now blogging on leadership and a whole lot more at http://kensviews.com

Cheers,
kj

It releases tensions and obviously links to creativity.

I love the analogy. Its important to attach leadership to familiar things, especially when we are trying to explain it. Kudos!

Followers are watching leaders reactions to the challenges we have and will continue to face over the next few years. As I heard we are no longer in Kansas.

This leaves us to work/lead smarter and enjoy the life that we make for ourselves as well as lead our followers to the good place to be. : < )

No one really listens or learns if they are so stressed over the daily routine of life. Relax, smile and how about a funny story. Now you will hear a everyone let out that wonderful sound of relief, laugher.

I am funny and it comes out in my sessions for coaching and in my therapy office. I feel this is so important to what I have to say and what I have to teach and how I bond with clients.

It’s also important that my clients learn how to see what’s funny and express it in life.
