Humor isn’t about being the funniest person in the room—it’s about creating connection. This conversation was a great reminder that laughter is more than entertainment at work: it’s a shortcut to trust, a tool for collaboration, and even a spark for creativity.

As leaders, we don’t need “laughs per minute”—we need laughs per meeting. Sometimes, the most powerful move is not to tell the perfect joke but to invite others to share their humor, their stories, their quirks. That’s how teams bond.
