Humor as a Tool in the Workplace

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Lou Holtz

Jerry Parr, writing in the book, Child Development II, explains that “humor is a reflection of a director’s respect for the staff. A director who can find humor in situations and deals with staff issues in a way that the messages are clear, the behaviors are modified, and the team is left intact is demonstrating that a win-win ending is better for the staff, children, and families. If a director truly respects the staff, then finding the internal resources to replace ego and temper with sensitivity and humor becomes a natural management tool.”
