Description

Employing a discourse analytical approach, this book focuses on the under-researched strategy of humor to illustrate how discursive performances of leadership are influenced by gender and workplace culture. Far from being a superfluous strategy that distracts from business, humor performs a myriad of important functions in the workplace context.
