LEADERSHIP

• Leadership is sometimes appointed, elected, or
  just naturally given and assumed. Leadership can
  be exhibited by loud commands, softly spoken
  suggestions, shared participation, or no actions
  at all. A COPE Course provides numerous
  opportunities for leadership to be displayed and
  challenged. Learning the skills of leadership is
  one of the anticipated outcomes of Project COPE.

5
PROBLEM SOLVING

• Problem Solving is done by the group and
  individual participants at each element. The
  group or individual then has the opportunity to
  test its solutions and evaluate the results.

6
TEAMWORK

• Teamwork is the key to everything on a COPE
  Course. By using teamwork the group achieves a
  successful (and sometime unsuccessful) conclusion
  to a variety of problems. During the period in
  which a group is on the course, it will become
  abundantly clear that no individual can "do it"
  alone, it requires a complete group effort

7
DECISION MAKING

• Decision Making requires the group to develop a
  solution, think through the probable results, and
  evaluate the results in terms of the resources
  available and required. Several possible
  solutions can be evaluated until the decision is
  made as to which is the best solution.

8
TRUST

• Trust in the instructors, the safety of the
  course, each other, and themselves must be
  developed to successfully solve difficult tasks.
  Trust will be challenged many times while during
  a COPE experience.

9
SELF-ESTEEM

• Self-Esteem is developed by successfully
  accomplishing a task as set forth by the
  instructor. This happens both on an individual
  and team basis.

10
COMMUNICATION

• Communication is important to any group
  attempting to accomplish a difficult task. A
  tremendous amount of communication is exhibited
  in many ways on a COPE Course.
