Educational Leadership

This article talks about being a leader with a sense of humor. Having a sense of humor loosens up a person and is stress related. "A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done." A stressful leader is never one of the better leaders. Humor stimulates and impacts virtually every human system. (thank you thesaurus) the article says that being a leader in an educational institution requires a sense of humor, because administrators who are great leaders will do almost anything to help their students succeed, like getting dropped in a dunking tank or kissing a pig, or in our case, mr. and mrs. weber kissing.

I think this article has a large impact not only on educators but on everyone who reads it. They talk about how humor can also make a healthier body, and not only educators would like a healthy body. I believe the writer of this article was trying to make the world a more sociable place by injecting more humor into peoples lives.

I would agree completely with what this article is saying. Humor can help teach children social skills and that's what educational leaders are trying to do, teach. There has also been tons of studies about humor that would back up this article. i read of one study that said kids more familiar with humor are able to see things through different layers of meaning, or what i like to call, thinking outside of the box.
