Theodore Roosevelt on Leadership examines and distills the life and work of one of the greatest leaders of American history. TR set the tone for a surging America at the turn of the 20th century. Succeeding presidents have followed in his footsteps—and many have sought to replicate his surpassing example. View the trailer.
TR stands as the only president to be granted the nation’s highest military recognition–the Medal of Honor–as well as the Nobel Peace Prize. He safeguarded the nation’s rich legacy of natural resources and environmental treasures. He led one of the world’s great public works projects—the Panama Canal—thereby uniting America and turning our vision from the “Atlantic Century” to what he foresaw as the “Pacific Century.”
TR did all this—and much, much more, while also establishing a happy and successful family life.
Roosevelt’s leadership—what he regarded as his greatest gift—resonates powerfully in the 21st century. Theodore Roosevelt on Leadership enables readers to learn from the Rough Rider’s example. If you’re seeking to lead in any part of your life, in any sector, TR has lessons that you can apply beginning today.
