Developing professional wit

Wit is synonymous with being smart. When one is smart, he would be witty as well. There is a stigma around being witty, which highlights one to be over smart sometimes. Being witty without bragging about it is the key.

You work smart when you are witty.        

Wit heps any individual to standout through their present minded inputs. It is an essential skill to develop for growth as any professional. It has a subtle yet lasting impact on those who work alongside you. It helps you gain respect in the hierarchy of seniors and juniors, while irritating those who are on the same page.

Sometimes wit is stigmatized in a bad way. There are 2 ways you can use your wit and create a perception of yours.

1. Being cunning and showcasing yourself as an individual of high worth
2. Being humble and just keeping it to yourself without bragging about it.

Great leaders fall into the 2nd category. They don't become superior, being skilled with the wit, but rather more efficient. Nobody is appreciative of bragging about ones wit. It is something which is not to be advertised.

Now lets look at how you can develop wit in yourself?

Wit is the result of being present in the moment and having a mindset to be of value to the process or work that you are trying to accomplish with your team or by yourself. If you stay present, you think wisely.

Getting involved in the process and yet being detached is the key. A level of self-belief and confidence in who you are enhances the wit. Expressing your thoughts with logical conclusions is always appreciated in team work.

Wit is always present in a sharp intellect and healthy mindset. It is also a result of being driven and intending to accomplish something with quality of work.
