Abstract

Humor and leadership may seem like strange companions but the positive impact leaders' humor has on employees and work outcomes is no laughing matter! Humor is now being conceptualized as a leadership tool for leaders to strategically use to bring about desired employee outcomes. Yet the literature lacks suitable instructions on how to use humor as a leadership tool. This impedes humor training and development for leaders. We address this by delineating the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities needed to create and use strategic humor at work and including them in a humor toolkit specifically for leaders. Our paper also shows how to ensure the effective transfer of humor training to the workplace and the resultant leadership behaviours that arise due to the use of humor by leaders.

掌握领导力中的幽默艺术:组织领导者工具包
幽默和领导力似乎是一对奇怪的搭档,但领导者的幽默对员工和工作成果的积极影响却并非笑谈!现在,幽默已被视为一种领导力工具,领导者可以战略性地使用它来为员工带来预期的结果。然而,关于如何将幽默作为一种领导工具的文献却缺乏适当的指导。这阻碍了领导者的幽默培训和发展。为了解决这一问题,我们划分了在工作中创造和使用战略性幽默所需的知识、技能和能力,并将其纳入专门针对领导者的幽默工具包中。我们的论文还说明了如何确保将幽默培训有效转移到工作场所,以及由于领导者使用幽默而产生的领导行为。
