No, really. You don’t have to be a comedian, and certainly there’s a time and a place for humor, but a sense of humor might be one of the most essential of the skills on our list. That’s because a sense of humor is really about having a different perspective. It allows you to see a problem differently. Humor relieves stress for you and your team, and only when tensions are lifted can smarter actions and ideas show themselves. A sense of humor also helps with morale. You’re going to work as hard as your team, but that doesn’t mean the environment you’re working in should be stifling. You can set or at least influence the culture of the workplace, and a lighter mood rising all ships.
You can have all the skills in the world, but without the right tools you’ll still be working at a disadvantage. Luckily, there are tools that enhance your skillset and make you even more efficient and productive.
