Abstract
The personal characteristics of a project manager play a large part in determining whether a project will succeed or fail. One vital trait is fortitude at times of adversity. No matter what critical situation the project may be in, the project manager must retain a sense of humor and draw out team members' laughter to keep them motivated in times of difficulty. We call this "shoryoku," or "power of laughter." This paper discusses the process of creating "power of laughter" in project management.
