- Distinguishing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as explanatory concepts
- Considering communication and team context when interpreting behavior
- Formulating questions for further study of leadership research
No prior behavioral-science training is required. The recorded teaching totals about half an hour, so this is a manageable first encounter with the subject rather than a comprehensive psychology course.
The wider Brain and Behavioral Science curriculum and its certificate examination are separate from this introduction. References to recent research reflect the recording, and broad claims about behavior should not be used to diagnose colleagues or predict an individual’s response with certainty.
