Richard Lummis and Tom Fox continue their series on leadership lessons from Theodore Roosevelt. We will look at lessons from Roosevelt’s early years in New York up to his cowboying days in Montana; the second phase of his public career, from NYC Police Commission to Assistant Secretary of the Navy, San Juan Hill and the Vice Presidency; his leadership from his Presidency; his life in the post-Presidency and the election of 1912 and we will end with leadership lessons from his post Bull Moose Party life, World War I and event surrounding his death. In this second episode, we consider the leadership lessons learned by Roosevelt in the second phase of his political career, which took him from Police Commissioner of NYC to the Vice Presidency.
Highlights of this podcast include:
What led to appointment to New York Civil Service Commission and then to the NYC Police Commissioner? His move to the National Stage as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This led to his work in the War with Spain and Admiral Dewey in Manilla Bay. He founded the Rough Riders, his leadership in Cuba and ride up San Juan Hill. He becomes Governor of New York. This leads to joining the McKinley ticket in the election of 1896 and becoming Vice President. We conclude with three key leadership lessons, including: 1. Pick yourself up when you fall; 2. Find a cause; and 3. Communicate Simply and Directly Through Stories.

Brian and Tim kick things off by briefly covering OFAC’s issuance, on the eve of Victory Day, of two determinations aimed at disrupting Russia’s use of accounting, trust and corporate formation, and management consulting services. Next, they discuss recent public comments by the Deputy Attorney General proclaiming that, as a DOJ enforcement priority, sanctions are the new FCPA. We also check in on what China has been up to lately (with respect to Russia) and share a few thoughts on the recently issued Ukraine-/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations. Finally, in the Lightning Round, they briefly cover the unsealing of indictments against Virgil Griffith’s alleged co-conspirators and debate what it could mean that Nicaragua’s ruling family has reportedly reached out to the U.S. seeking sanctions relief.
