A leader’s ability to laugh at themselves can ease the pressure to appear flawless and create a more open space for communication in the team. This course looks at humble humor as a sign of approachability and self-awareness rather than a way to undermine authority or target others. Managers can think about the appropriate limits of humor by paying attention to context, power differences and the effect their words will have on others. Used well, this approach can make it easier to talk about mistakes; however, it does not replace respect and professional responsibility.
Leading with Self-Deprecating Humor
Leading with humble humor shows a manager’s human side, reducing status distance while keeping the boundaries of respect and trust intact.

About the course
Who this course is for
Newly appointed managers leading a team for the first time, middle managers and high-potential talent in the management pipeline. Some topics are also suitable for senior management.
Why it matters
One of the most decisive factors in employees’ decisions to leave is their relationship with their direct manager. Organizations usually promote managers based on technical success, but managing is a separate competency and does not develop on its own unless it is taught. This category fills exactly that gap.
