How effective is humor as a leadership tool? Being funny is one of the ultimate weapons a person can have in human society. It might even compete with being really good-looking.
The people I admire most live in total alignment. They know who they are, what they want, and what they value. Their mission is clear and so are their priorities. And so, they live uncompromisingly. Family, friends, work, health and spirituality coexist as a single unified whole.
People exist on a spectrum between fast-twitch and slow-twitch thinking.
Fast-twitch people speak fast, work fast, and crave novelty. Socially, they're quick and witty. Throw a problem their way and they'll come up with 3–5 solutions in a matter of minutes. They're the people you want in the room when you're brainstorming an idea.
