C. Lloyd MorganWas a British psychologist. He is best remembered for the
experimental approach to animal psychology now
known as "Morgan's canon".As a specialised form of
Occam's razor, Morgan's canon played a critical role in the growth of behaviourism in twentieth century academic
psychology.

Morgan’s Canon“In no case is an animal activity to be
interpreted in terms of higher psychological processes, if it can be fairly
interpreted in terms of processes which stand lower in the scale of psychological
evolution and development.”
- C. Lloyd Morgan, British psychologist -1890

Horses“They start nickering knowing that they are going to be fed!”
What’s really happening?
Enter the barn, pull feed, mix up the beet pulp... the sound of the containers opening, etc.
Cues tell you something is going to happen

Ivan PavlovEstablished the basic laws for
the establishment and extinction of what he called "conditional reflexes" — i.e.,
reflex responses, like salivation, that only occurred
conditionally upon specific previous experiences of the
animalThe phrase "Pavlov's dog" is
often used to describe someone who merely reacts to a situation
rather than using critical thinking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov

Burrhus Frederic Skinner
Invented an Operant Conditioning Chamber whose purpose was to administer a curriculum of programmed instruction. It housed a list of questions, and a mechanism through which the learner could respond to each question. Upon delivering a correct answer, the learner would be rewarded.

Something Good can end or be taken away;
Something Bad can start or be presented;
Something Bad can end or be taken away.

It takes character and courage to be a Servant Leader

“People are the heart and spirit of all that counts.”-- Max DePree, author and founder of Herman Miller Office Furniture
“Leadership is about people and the intricate relationships between them.”
-- Chuck Ferguson, Indomitable Spirit: Life Changing Lessons in Leadership
“Being a leader changes everything. Before you are a leader, success is all about you. Nothing you do anymore as an individual matters except how youincrease their self-confidence. Put another way: Your success as a leader will come not from what you do but from the reflected glory of your team.”
--Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric

"The servant-leader is servant first... Becoming a servant-leader begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve,
to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader
first...
The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant first to make sure that other people's highest priority
needs are being served. The best test, and the most difficult to administer, is this: Do those served grow as persons? Do they,
while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?"

Principles of Servant Leadership
Servant leaders value people and relationships.Respecting, serving, communicating and forgiving is how we show people we value them.
Servant leaders use their personal influence.Choosing to influence through character and integrity is more successful than influencing with power and control.
Servant leaders recognize that each person has a purpose and a passion.Recognizing and tapping into each person’s unique experiences, gifts and abilities empowers them to add their value.
Servant leaders understand the importance of creating a work environment and culture that is founded on trust.
Creating an atmosphere of “we” as opposed to “me” gives people greater significance and voice because they play a meaningful role in something larger than themselves.

Principles of Servant Leadership
Servant leaders bring change and innovation.Creating an environment where change and innovation is encouraged and rewarded improves the team, the product, the process, and how we serve customers and one another.
Servant leaders model leadership and service to employees and customers.
Modeling service teaches employees how to serve each other and our customers.
Servant leaders mentor others who can replace them as leaders.Giving away power and responsibility to those who can lead creates the next generation of servant leaders.
