Introduction Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

C. Lloyd Morgan Was 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Lloyd_Morgan Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

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 Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

Ivan Pavlov Established 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 animal The 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 Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bf_skinner Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

Operant Conditioning Forms an association between behaviour and consequence. Model assumes four possible consequences of behaviour: Something Good can start or be presented; Something Good can end or be taken away; Something Bad can start or be presented; Something Bad can end or be taken away.

“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 you increase 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 Licensed under Creative Commons, 2010, Raj Mudhar - rajile.com Monday, August 16, 2010

"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?" Robert K.

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.
