NO.8 Use your own comedy materials

Personal experience is the most authentic source of humor for an executive leader. Look for humorous things in your life. Scenario:

1. Funny things you have said or things others told you

2. Your embarrassment, whether it is psychological or social , or physical

3. Your embarrassing moments or unexpected things that happened

4. Every change or learning

5 , life's dilemmas (yes, these can also be a source of humor)

When you use personal experiences as comedy material, remember what we learned from the humorous games of childhood: Knocking game. These simple jokes are popular because these game segments emphasize familiar situations, clearly framing an opportunity for laughter through the use of key words and phrases. They also illustrate how humor can spring from surprise. Their laughter comes not from knowing exactly who or what is behind the door, but from a response to the original question, "Who's there?"

NO.7. Adapt other people’s stories

In addition to your own experience, there is another way to say “borrow and adapt” (I don’t mean steal) other people’s interesting stories . That's why my old friend the comedian Milton Berle is known as the "funny story thief."

There are some borrowed jokes that work easily because many people don't think of them. in this humorous way. In addition to simply searching GOOGLE for "jokes," quips, definitions, pictures, or videos, here are two other common sources of adaptation:

Cartoons - you can do it in front of everyone in different ways Come and show it, tell the story of the comic (actually portray yourself as one of the characters), without any pictures or extracting punchlines to start your own witty jokes.

Comedian - Borrow jokes from comedy superstars or others and adapt them to suit your style or your work environment. Watch some comedians and you'll understand how the pros do it.

NO.6. Understand your audience

If you want to be called a humorous leader, you must understand the scale of your jokes. These all start with you truly understanding the audience:

1. Observe the attitude of top managers towards humor.

2. Understand the temperament of your audience - this is directly related to whether your humor is appropriate

3. Love your audience no less than you tease them

4. When you are not sure whether others have the same sense of humor as you, try making fun of them.

5. If you plan to improvise humor, you must first know that your audience does not mind. Impromptu remarks have the potential to have serious consequences because the audience may misunderstand. In fact, it can be useful to rehearse improvisational humor in a planned way. This may sound strange, but in ordinary work situations you'll encounter, think about what often goes wrong, or what might be the source of a joke. Have some "safe" funny jokes ready to use as "backup" impromptu humor.

NO.5 Know what to say and what not to say

Even in a workplace where comedians are welcome, there are obviously some jokes that are not allowed. While on the job, avoid malicious jokes or pranks, sarcastic remarks, remarks about religious beliefs, gender, nationality or racial issues. Do you think your sense of humor is so good that you can be shameless? My advice to you is: don't do it. This type of humor will make your colleagues feel like they're in an unpredictable, high-stakes situation, with your career on the line.

Use these points to find out whether what you think is workplace humor is, in fact, safe. To pass this safety test, all jokes, comments, or imagined positions you make must be true

1. I can tell my mom/I can show her

2. If it were me who became the laughing stock, I wouldn’t be angry.

3. This will not violate the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission

4. Everyone present can understand what I say

5. Even if the other party The answer is slightly wrong, subtly switch to tweak your original idea or make it better, and forget about it and start over.

NO.4 Don’t take yourself too seriously

Executive leaders never take themselves too seriously. They will laugh, and others will laugh too. Leaders should be able to laugh at themselves appropriately. In other words, self-directed humor downplays your own talents, status and achievements.

You may not want to resort to self-deprecation on any simple issue, but regardless, it is most effective and appropriate in the following situations:

In When you are both comfortable and confident

Your authority and abilities have been clearly established

The current situation is exactly in line with your personality and emotions

But please Remember - when you want to borrow someone else's self-deprecating humor, you need to share their perspective and situation. If not, you're really making a fool of yourself! I once heard a person who was clearly not the president of technical marketing call himself a "geek" in front of everyone. But that was their name, and she did not belong to their group. Her words were originally intended to bring them closer, but they failed completely.

NO.3. Do you need humorous inspiration? Take a look around

The workplace is full of comedy. Humor comes from exaggeration, puns, misunderstandings, ambiguities, contradictions, paradoxes, pain and inconsistency. If you work in any type of business or organization, you will find this happening everywhere!

As a leader, your job is to use appropriate opportunities to boost morale. To successfully use humor, make sure you do the following:

Your sense of humor makes people He realizes he's pretty good

Making fun of yourself won't keep you in the organization long-term.

Don’t joke when people are in turmoil, because this will lead to despicable behavior

NO.2 Let yourself enjoy pleasure all the time

If you are If you are looking for more fun and want to be approachable as a leader, surround yourself with happy people. The ones who are funny, the ones who love to laugh, the ones people tend to cheer for just having them around.

Develop a relationship with this type of person, spend time with them, learn from them how they use humor, and then extract from their methods what works for you.

In addition to getting joy from these guys, pick 3 to 4 people to form an informal comedy team as your comedy team, solicit their opinions, guide and improve your sense of humor, They can also offer humorous perspectives on potential issues that will make you pass the security test, but may still not be a good fit for colleagues in the workplace.

NO.1 Surround yourself with fun

Finally, the most important thing about using humor successfully as a leader is to actually share it with others in the workplace. Here are a few final points to remember:

Use humor when appropriate and see how it works in low-risk situations before you try it with more people. .

Signing your intention to laugh through your words, actions, and tone is also a great way to give people "permission" to laugh at work.

Finally, be sincere when using humor; don’t just laugh, it will disappear like lightning, add more fun to your work.
