Skinner: Father of Behavioral theory (Reward/Punishment) Successful leadership is based in definable, learnable behavior do not seek inborn traits or capabilities. Rather, they look at what
leaders actually do success can be defined in terms of describable actions assumes that leadership capability can be learned, rather than
being inherent (Difference from Traits) Care about people vs. care about work
