Why A Humorous Project Management Blog Is Needed

By Charles Cooper


Blogs are mostly targeted for specific segments of readers looking for specific items, whether technical, managerial, marketing or employment issues. These web logs often contain text that has conciseness, accessibility, clarity and speaks in friendly and conversational tones. These are more or less a compilation of resources for those with particular subject needs.

Managers for a company need to be serious, so they study this seriousness and often conclude that if forms an unnatural barrier between them and employees. The humorous project management blog can be the ticket for creatively handling a complex management task or project correctly. And to also have this working in a spirit that is lightened by the raft of issues involved.

First of all, humor in a blog must be used judiciously, for whatever point that is being made. It can be used to punctuate a sample situation of a delicate or problematic issue, or be a good transition point that presents the next point. A common mistake for people is not harnessing the potential of humor for purposes of moving things forward.

Project management can be aided by humor in an article, when, for example, it makes negatives less heavy and criticism that much more acceptable. A joke can be a catalyst for making reality bite in a nonmalicious way, for breaking apart, say, some really old and harmful dogma that stymies business. Also, the a projects specialist will find humor that can direct her or him to good creative thinking.

A good blogger will not base his article on humor alone, not unless he runs a humorous blogspot. There is too much negative associations with constant laughter, which can impact an audience the wrong way. A blogger should be an adept in creating funny but positive situations, something that takes some doing but effective when understood by people.

A blogger should never use malice in humor, there are too many nuances managed only be very experienced writers. Being lighthearted will carry you and the program through the hump of boredom. Blogs, being tagged for usability, should also make humor usable, especially for its positive effect in finishing out projects.

Great comics all have the ability of being able to time delivery, making for laugh out loud reactions. But it is not merely this, but a form of creative gestalt that unlocks creativity in an audience. When employed in the right way, presentations will be more successful, necessitating less use of long explanations that might help get things mired in too much complexity.

Humor is a good tool like all else in writing, but only when used well. Writers have to be relevant as they use it to avoid the tangles of circular though processes. When thus entangled, jokes will create dark undercurrents that will seem malicious to many.

Targeting for blogs can involve jokes, and not just something you put in because it sounds good or to provide comic relief. Ideally, relief comes from enlightenment and the capacity to have new and better perspectives. If it achieves nothing more, the kind of blog that does this is a hands down winner.
