The Leadership Minute #40
Character Traits of a Leader: Sense of Humor
A leader has got to have a sense of humor. A leader cannot go around stoic, with a frown, or serious all the time. This does not work for anyone, it is bad. It is bad for the leader as an individual. It is bad for the leader as a leader.
Your followers, those you lead expect you to have a sense of humor. That's because there will times and situations that you will have no control over and you are just going to have to laugh at it. You are going to have to chuckle, you are going to have to laugh right along with them.
Speaking of laughing with them. As a leader, never laugh at them, don't belittle them, don't be mean, don't do or say anything at their expense. Don't bad mouth individuals whether they are present or not. Do not bad mouth anyone who is not present because they cannot defend themselves. Doing so makes you a BULLY!
Whatever you do, do not laugh at people because I guarantee just like you are laughing at somebody that person is laughing at YOU!
