  • There's a mistaken belief in today's working world that leaders need to be serious all the time to be taken seriously. The research tells a different story. Based on the course they teach at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, behavioral scientist Jennifer Aaker and corporate strategist Naomi Bagdonas delve into the surprising power of humor: why it's a secret weapon to build bonds, power, creativity and resilience -- and how we can all have more of it.

    This duo's book on humor in the workplace is amazing. Glad to see they made a TED talk to spread the word that humor is an under appreciated skill in work spaces.

    Love your mission! Those who can laugh and find moments of humor are the best circle of individuals to share our time with! Our morning weekly team meeting at the office was a perfect example, as our laughter in the minutia of critical business topics kept everyone engaged and confident in the outcomes seasoned with solid truth in our discussions.
    Stumbled upon the topic due to a Stanford article I read this afternoon. Be Light. Be Joyous. Be Real. Be Love.
    Thank you, TED & TEDTalk for all you offer to your followers.

    Ladies you are wonderful, Sincerely, Thank you. That "because we are, human" line woulda killed raucously out loud as well if you let the audiences unanimously internal human being, obviously implied, be the cleverly spoken internal punchline. Don't hunt what's before you.

      totally agree that they're not funny, but that's more disappointing than funny. I think it has something to do with the teleprompter and timing. I hope they're funnier in real life and don't go about their day being the butt end of jokes.
