What A Humorous Project Management Blog Can Do

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 useful blog knows how to pull the stops on humor and makes it unnecessary to make a joke every time. Laughing too much can have a negative pull that works on the audience subconscious. The blog should also be adept at showing how to make nonmalicious jokes, and this is hard to do but highly effective when the audience realizes it.

Malice should never get into the picture, and this is achieved by the better writers. Good, hearty laughter can help get a reader over a hump, over the most boring technical references. And the blog should be able to make the reader realizes the major points about writing with jokes so as to be usable in project applications.

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.
