Make Laughter and Humor Part of Your Teambuilding
If a new employee can laugh with the group it will bring them closer together and get them working as a team. Humor should be inclusive not exclusive. When my parents first joined Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In Tour everyone was professional and very nice but my parents didn’t really feel a part of the team until the time the bus drove up to the Westbury Music Theater on Long Island, New York. It was a dreary and rainy day. The parking lot was dirty. I was six years old and I looked out the window and said, “This is beautiful downtown Burbank?” Since this was a running joke on the television show, everyone laughed hysterically and that brought us all together as a team.
