\n“The ultimate guide to using the magical power of funny as a tool for leadership and a force for good.” – Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive
\n
\nThere exists a mistaken belief in today\u2019s corporate world: that we have to be serious all the time in order to be taken seriously. But the research tells a different story: that humor can be one of the most powerful tools we have for accomplishing serious things. Studies show that humor makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity, and boosts our resilience during difficult times. Plus, it fends off a permanent and unsightly frown known as \u201cresting boss face.\u201d

\nTop executives are in on the secret: 98 percent prefer employees with a sense of humor, and 84 percent believe that these employees do better work. But even for those who intuitively understand humor\u2019s power, few know how to wield it with intention. As a result, humor is vastly underleveraged in most workplaces today, impacting our performance, relationships, and health.
\n
\nThat\u2019s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world\u2019s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds build levity into their organizations and lives.
\n
\nIn Humor, Seriously, they draw on findings by behavioral scientists, world-class comedians, and inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and\u2014more important\u2014how you can use more of it, better.
\n
\nAaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny and how to mine your life for material. They show how to use humor to make a strong first impression, deliver difficult feedback, persuade and motivate others, and foster cultures where levity and creativity can thrive\u2014not to mention, how to keep it appropriate and recover if you cross a line.

\nPresident Dwight David Eisenhower once said, \u201cA sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.\u201d If Dwight David Eisenhower, the second least naturally funny president ever (after Franklin Pierce), thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and warn against the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[33],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11594","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-psychologie","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"product-type-external"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11594"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11594"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11594"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koeky.nl\/boeken\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
