The article is full of valuable thoughts on workplace humor and quotes my friend and client Todd Linden, CEO of Grinnell Regional Medical Center. The article begins by stressing that humor heals. I get quoted several times including:

“Don’t worry that you will sacrifice your employees’ respect(by using humor). In fact, just the opposite will happen. You will come across as wiser and more approachable.”

This is a very well researched article which includes quotes from other humor in the workplace heavy hitters such as Joel Goodman of the Humor Project and Loretta LaRoche of the Humor Potential, a consulting company in Massachusetts.

“In the high stress world of health care, I firmly believe that humor is a potent weapon in dealing with many issues we face every day.”
