TFE welcomes back guest author Linda Talley, professional speaker and executive coach from Houston, TX…

There is a subculture that binds every person and every business together and that subculture is called humor. It lightens our day, our load, our thoughts and even our actions. Humor is an amazing thing yet so many times we mis-use or abuse it. Humor, correct and fun, must be embraced in our own personal lives as well as in our business lives.

In the office, humor usually begins downstream and may or may not work its way upstream. What I see to be true in today’s workforce is that there is a lack of humor, good, clean humor to give people a good belly laugh. Nothing relieves stress and creates healing as humor does!

In order for it to begin, leaders must bring humor back to the workplace. So humor must begin from the leader! Does it have to be the CEO, owner, supervisor or President? No, not necessarily. Just because you have a title that recognizes you as a leader doesn’t mean that you are a leader. There are a lot of leaders out there today with no title. So, if you are a leader, make certain that humor is alive and well in the workplace. It will change your life for the better and it will change the lives of people around you and they will know it began with the leader.
