Abstract

Theodore Roosevelt was a visionary nature conservationist, military veteran, and public figure. He is best known as the 26th President of the United States of America and demonstrated a considerable number of qualities that made him a revered leader in history. This research will delve deeper into the leadership tactics and behavioral qualities that Theodore Roosevelt possessed through careful analysis of his actions and accomplishments throughout his life. Not all traits of Theodore Roosevelt could be considered positive, but an in-depth look into his childhood, career, and personal life will help demonstrate which of the techniques he utilized can and should be emulated by current and future leaders in the United States.
