            Olson makes the argument that leaders, CEOs especially, can learn a lot about leadership from stand-up comedians. The article is based on the findings of a management coach by the name of Roger Edward Jones. Olson wrote about how Jones used his experience in stand-up comedy to bring a new approach to leadership.
