In the space of leadership, do you have a historical figure to admire? I ask this because if you are looking to pursue ideasworking from home then you need to become a leader. Why is this you may ask? Read on and maybe you will be able to work out the answer.
What do you know about Theodore Roosevelt? Yes you may know he was one of the US presidents, the 26th in fact. Roosevelt was a man of action – an outspoken man of action. This was a component of his vigorous life.
He was well known for his regular boxing and judo sessions, he took long horse back rides. He did long and hazardous hikes. Nothing was on obstacle for Teddy – the nick name given to Roosevelt.
There was a time the French Ambassador tells about a day when they went for a walk through the woods when the two came to a river. The river was too deep to cross by foot, so Roosevelt stripped off his clothes and expected the dignitary to do the same in order swim to the other side.
At different times in his life, he was a cowboy, explorer, a big game hunter and an officer in the Spanish /American war.
His enthusiasm and stamina seem boundless.
During 1900, when campaigning for the vice president William McKinley, he gave 673 speeches and travelled 20,000 miles.
Years after his presidency, whilst delivering a speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Roosevelt was shot in the chest by a would-be assign. With broken ribs and a bullet in his chest, he insisted in delivering his 1 hour speech before taken to the hospital. This is commitment.
With all the leaders the nation has ever had, Teddy was one of the toughest – both physically and mentally. However, it didn’t start that way.
As a child he was poorly, thin and his parents didn’t think he was going to survive. When 12, his father told Roosevelt “You have the mind but not the body. The mind can not go as far as it should. You must make the body.” Taking note, he then embraced the process. Everyday he spent building his body as well as his mind. He did that for the rest of his life. He worked on the weights, hiked, ice skated, hunted, he rode and boxed.
Reading about the people he admired, Roosevelt had a great admiration for men who were fearless, who could hold their own in the world and who had the great desire to be liked by them. By the time he graduated from Harvard, he was like them. He was then ready to tackle the world of politics.
It wasn’t easy. He did not become a great leader overnight. The journey to presidency was one of slow continuous growth. He served different positions ranging from the New York City police commissioner to the president of the USA. All the time he kept learning. He improved himself. In time he became a strong leader. His list of accomplishments is just remarkable.
Really look at this guy. Under this leader, the US emerged as a world power. He helped build a 1st class navy. He saw the Panama Cannel was built. He negotiated peace between Russia and Japan.
He became president when McKinley was assassinated in 1901. When he completed his term as president up to 1909, he travelled to Africa where he led a scientific exploration.
In 1913 he explored with a group the uncharted River of Doubt in Brazil. That one exploration changed maps as we know of them today. He went into an uncharted tributary, off the Amazon – one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians were armed with poisoned tipped arrows.
What an incredible life journey. So why would he do all this? Because it was all a great learning adventure.
At the age of 55 whilst at his New York home, January 6 1919, he passed away in his sleep. The U.S. vice president, Thomas R Marshall said that "Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.” There was a book beneath his pillow too. Up to the very day he died, he was still striving to improve and learn. He was still embracing the process.
If you want to be a leader then everyone has the potential. However, it is not accomplished overnight. It requires persistence and you cannot ignore the process. Leadership is not developed in a day – it takes a life time.
We can all aspire to achieve better things. It may be a case of changing direction and doing something you have never done, but always dreamt of. I’m helping people to think positively about the future and how best use their time. I believe that people can find a way within to pursue an idea and a vision. We all have the ability to take control of our lives, but many just don’t know it or know how.
