Leading with Laughter (and Snacks)

A survival guide for the human side of management-served warm, with a side of sarcasm and sweets.
Forget the cold, corporate playbooks. This is leadership the way real people live it-messy, meaningful, and occasionally powered by coffee and cookies.
In Leading with Laughter (and Snacks), the author delivers a refreshingly honest take on what it means to lead with heart, humor, and a well-timed snack. From emotionally-charged performance reviews to meme-filled Monday meetings, this book explores how the best leaders aren't always the loudest in the room-they're the ones who listen, laugh, and occasionally bring brownies.
Whether you're managing up, down, or diagonally across confusing org charts, this book will help you:
Diffuse tension with kindness and a little sarcasm.
Build trust through empathy, rituals, and mini chocolate bars.
Stay sane through team chaos, crisis calls, and calendar fatigue.
Lead in a way people actually remember (for the right reasons).

If you've ever felt like you're leading a team and hosting a sitcom at the same time, this book is for you.

Warning: May cause spontaneous smiling, deeper self-awareness, and the urge to bake for your team.
