A reference guide to using humor as a leadership tool

The opening volume of a five-part reference series organizes more than 100 humor techniques for leadership in an A–Z format. Each entry pairs a definition with suggested applications, implementation frameworks, examples, success considerations, possible pitfalls, and links to related techniques. The material positions humor as part of authentic connection and leadership communication, while drawing its examples from professional environments including corporate, medical, academic, and technology settings. Designed as a standalone volume as well as the foundation for a broader series, it concentrates on practical methods rather than the later volumes’ theoretical, team-focused, communication, and global topics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Senior leaders and managers exploring humor in professional leadership
  • Leadership-development professionals and executive coaches
  • Institutional or professional libraries building leadership reference collections
