Book Review: |
|
“The book's thesis is uncomplicated and logical: humour can be constructive or destructive. When used in a soul-destroying sarcastic fashion, it can wreck morale.
When used to help people vent, and shed the tension of a busy workplace, it can give everyone a lift. This established, the rest of the book is ideas and examples of the positive side of workplace humour.
. . . I do not think any reader can get through this book without seeing a dozen great ways to fill his or her workplace with the sort of levity that keeps people loose, inoculates them against infighting and makes them want to stay.” J.K. Kelley
