Anyone-even you!-can learn how to harness the power of humor in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
Many people understand humor's power intuitively. But when it comes to using it with intention, far fewer know how. As a result, humor is vastly under-leveraged in most workplaces today, impacting our performance, relationships, and health, and contributing to a permanent and unsightly frown known as "resting boss face."
In fact, research shows that humor is one of the most powerful tools we have for accomplishing serious things. Top executives know this, which is why 98% prefer employees with a sense of humor, and 84% believe these employees do better work. Studies show that humor makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity, and boosts our resilience during difficult times.
That's why Dr. Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course "Humor: Serious Business" at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world's most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds build levity into their organizations and lives. In Humor, Seriously, they draw on behavioral science, advice from world-class comedians, and stories from real-life business leaders to reveal how humor works, and-most importantly-how YOU can use more of it, better.
Aaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny, how to mine your life for material, and how to craft a joke. 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. And they explore the grey areas of humor: how keep it appropriate-and recover if you cross a line.
President Eisenhower once said: "A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done." If Dwight David Eisenhower-the second-least naturally funny president after Franklin Pierce-thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and resist the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.
