The authors look like they've both got doctoral degrees from this post, and work/study/teach at @AU_SPA.

"Mike Myatt posits that great leadership rarely exists without love, and that usually where leadership fails, love is lacking, misplaced, or misguided."
"Mike Myatt posits that great leadership rarely exists without love, and that usually where leadership fails, love is lacking, misplaced, or misguided."
I think the article they were referencing is this one. forbes.com/sites/mikemyat… It contains the saying I like to attribute to @JohnMaxwellTeam: "People don't care how much know known until they know how much you care."
The authors go through some of the seven words for love in Greek (this reminds me of Bible studies🤣)
Eros-sexual/physical
Storge-unconditional familial
Philia-love between friends.
Hold on, isn't that supposed to be oikos?🤔
Let's overlook that for now.

The authors write about philautia (love of yourself), that you need to love yourself before you can love others. This here reminds me of the golden rule once again.
The authors cite work by @DrFionaBJ - 65% thought love lacking, 95% would work harder for a boss/organisation that cared. Defines love as encompassing "compassion, caring and kindness".
This is @DrFionaBJ's researchgate page. Looks like she's done some interesting research, especially in the coaching space which will possibly intersect with my own research into coaching in #meded. researchgate.net/profile/Fiona-…

Before I move on. This leadership and love topic reminds me of Sir John Monash's biography. Monash actually cared for the men under his command. He innovated on the battlefield, and he broke the stalemate of the trenches in WW1.

The authors outline the case study of Demoulas who was CEO of @MarketBasket and cared more for people than profits. When he was sacked, the workers protested.

"Demoulas sees the good in people, trusts them, and depends on them. Those he touches support him and go the extra mile. He’s created an environment of love where people matter, and by doing so, he’s changed lives."
👏👏👏

"there’s no secret ingredient to love: no course you can take, box you can tick, or certification you can earn. It’s up to you to approach love genuinely – from your heart."
The cynic in me says if there were, it would be part of mandatory training!🤣

The authors cite work by @BarsadeSigal and O'Neill from @Wharton. I think this is the study. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
The authors talk about three things to cultivate genuine love:
1/self-awareness (reminds me of reflection-on-action (Schon) and mindfulness practices)
2/vulnerability (hello @BreneBrown and shame/trust research)
3/kindness (hello Jesus, good Samaritan and Buddha)

The authors spell out some benefits of laughter. They also note that it can be "hostile, antagonistic, and degrading".
It can come from different places: superiority, relief, incongruity. Use it to build social connections where you can.

The authors outline a case of a boss who was unintentionally funny. The tweet of her looking like a potato went viral. Fortunately the team member didn't get sacked either, b/c I can imagine some bosses being too precious about their self-image.

"Remember, humor is situational and can come at any point in the day, whether that’s in a Zoom meeting, or during a presentation, end-of-year budget analysis, or strategic planning session. You can always find opportunities to slip humor into your workday."

The authors again cite evidence from the literature.

This is the 2012 meta-analysis of humour in the workplace by @jmesmermagnus & Viswesvaran. researchgate.net/publication/24…
They conclude humour must be used cautiously and to be wary of sexist and other derogatory humour. This reminds me of the talk by @DGlaucomflecken at #ICRE2021.

This is the 2017 study they cited by Bitterly @ProfAWBrooks and @ME_Schweitzer. It's called Risky Business.

Another study cited was by @eugenioproto that showed workers who laughed were 10% more productive. wol.iza.org/articles/are-h…
The take home message is that "appropriate humor in the workplace provides many benefits. Real humor comes from your heart and being yourself – it isn’t something that can be taught."
The authors also cite @drewtarvin's book @HumorThatWorks. "it’s used disparagingly, or it divides or distracts, humor can be a nightmare".
Once again, be careful using humour.
Great blinks. Worth revisiting. @threadreaderapp unroll please.
