Narrit, Johtaminen ja Innovointi Prof. Liisa Välikangas Aalto University & Hanken School of Economics
Ideat strategisena huumorina - Strategic humor An exercise of wit, or a skillful articulation of a foolish idea, that fundamentally changes the way a particular situation is inescapably viewed, and relieves the pressure of having to view it in a particular, inapt or self-serving way. It thus creates an opportunity for innovation.
1. Onko narrius täysin naurettavaa vai erittäin tärkeää?
Elämmekö Narrien Laivassa? Sebastian Brant, 1494 Heikki Aittokoski, 2013
Narri: Ihmisyyden yksi arkkityyppi Sankarit (heros) Pahukset (villains) Narrit (fools)

The Shakespearean fool: The Fool does not follow any ideology. He rejects all appearances, of law, justice, moral order. He sees brute force, cruelty and lust. He has no illusions and does not seek consolation in the existence of natural or supernatural order, which provides for the punishment of evil and the reward of good. Lear, insisting on his fictitious majesty, seems ridiculous to him. All the more ridiculous because he does not see how ridiculous he is. But the Fool does not desert his ridiculous, degraded king, and accompanies him on his way to madness. The Fool knows that the only true madness is to recognize this world as rational.

What can be done to prevent leadership pathologies? from developing? from gaining an upper hand?
Lucy Kellaway, Financial Times: Laughter around the office is not all it's cracked up to be. Laughter is inherently political. Chade-Meng Tan: IQ 156 Yritysnarri Fools pinpoint absurdity by acting out the absurd, explains Paul Birch, British Airways corporate jester. They act as a mirror in which people see their mistakes without having to admit to them. This enables Fools to challenge accepted wisdom and create new alternatives. As such, they re entrusted with the sensitive task of managing and controlling change.
