The Arc of Ambition: Defining the Leadership Journey

Without ambition, no conquests are made, no lands discovered, no businesses created.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.

It takes a strong character and a lot of willpower to hold onto a dream under adverse circumstances.

Opportunity knocks with all the temerity of a brown trout hiding in an overfished stream.

History is a long list of warnings about the folly of overreaching.

Greatness must be driven by a purpose beyond money.

Compromise is bad for ambition.

Power comes from other people.

Reinvention is the key to longevity.

The dead can't lead the living.
