Leading with Humor: The awesome Gio Valiante shared this and it’s great. It includes a few recommendations:
It’s not whether or not you’re funny, it’s what kind of funny you are. Be honest and authentic.
If you can’t be “ha-ha” funny, at least be “aha!” funny. Cleverness is sometimes good enough.
Good comedy is a conspiracy. Create an in-group.
Don’t be afraid to chuckle at yourself. It signals everything is okay.
Laughter is disarming. Poke fun at the stuff everyone’s worried about.
Now do you get why I chose that subject line???

💭 Miscellaneous
Netflix’ Culture
Netflix is famous for their culture, which can be traced back to a “Culture Deck” from 2009. An updated (and easier to read) version can be read here. They say what makes Netflix special is:
Encourage decision-making by employees
Share information openly, broadly and deliberately
Communicate candidly and directly
Keep only our highly effective people
Avoid rules
Jonathan Haidt on the anxious generation (source):
"The digital life is not causing depression and anxiety in boys to the extent that it is in girls, but it’s causing them to drop out of life, not cultivate skills, like flirting or courtship or working for pay. It’s causing them to drop out of life in ways that will block their flourishing for the rest of their lives."
