From The Leadership Secrets Of Billy Graham by Harold Myra and Marshall Shelley:![]()
When one hears laughter in the halls of an organization, when humor and good spirits enliven the breaks, when serious discussions are broken up by humor, it's a very good sign the enterprise is healthy. Teams that emphasize fun and good spirits lift effectiveness.
Billy would tell stories on himself. For instance, he liked to tell of the time in a small town when he asked a boy how to get to the post office. After getting directions, Billy invited him to come to the meeting that evening: "You can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven."
The boy’s response? "I don’t think I’ll be there. You don’t even know your way to the post office."
