210. What Makes a Good Sense of Humor?

No Stupid Questions

NOTE

Laughter Wins Over Wit

The idea that one must be funny at work is a prevalent misconception. Signaling a sense of humor through laughter can enhance one's respect and likability among colleagues, even without being the one telling jokes. Engaging with humor is more about appreciating and supporting others’ funniness than being a quick wit. Influential figures like Jimmy Fallon and James Corden exemplify this approach by focusing on laughter rather than delivering punchlines. Laughter contributes significantly to workplace dynamics, making the environment more pleasant and fostering camaraderie.
