A person with a sense of humor has the ability to grasp and appreciate what is funny, and the ability to express what is funny. It is a safe wager that most of us would prefer to be associated with leaders who have a sense of humor. Humor has the ability to quickly change the emotional texture and complexion of our environment, reducing stress, while enhancing play, resulting in enhanced creativity and productivity.
