“Be Somebody” Leadership Training is based upon the book Cowboy Ethics and Values written by James P. Owen.
Ten leadership principles are covered in an experiential learning setting through games, activities, writing and group discussion. The principles are:
Live Each Day With Courage
Take Pride in Your Work
Always Finish What You Start
Do What Has To Be Done
Be Tough, But Fair
When You Make a Promise, Keep It
Ride For the Brand
Talk Less Say More
Remember That Some Things Aren’t For Sale
Know Where to Draw the Line
Training is delivered using a three step process:
Highly interactive learning activities
Discussion of learning principles in relation to the activity
Applying principles to one’s own thoughts/decisions and what they will look like in their everyday life.
All participants will receive “Financial Literacy” training as part of their program.
Participants complete the caddie and leadership program by verbally communicating what principle had the biggest impact on their caddie experience and what principle they will focus on developing over the upcoming school year.
Leadership training is facilitated by a board member from the Caddie and Leadership program.
