The Magic of Catching People Doing Things Right
Imagine standing at the edge of a pool watching an 11,000-pound killer whale launch itself into a perfect backflip, then return to high-five its trainer with a massive pectoral fin. How do trainers get these powerful predators to perform such incredible behaviors with apparent joy? This question captivated Ken Blanchard during a family trip to SeaWorld, launching him on a journey that would transform his understanding of human motivation. The answer was surprisingly simple yet profound: trainers focus on catching whales doing things right, not wrong. This principle - that what gets rewarded gets repeated - works just as powerfully with humans as it does with orcas. When we shift our attention from mistakes to achievements, we unlock extraordinary potential in our teams, families, and relationships. The power of positive reinforcement isn't just a nice management theory - it's a fundamental principle of behavior that transforms performance and builds trust across species.
