“Power Ambition Glory serves as a remarkable historical guide. It’s
both a reference guide to the rise and fall of empires, as well as
a fresh look at modern business leaders and how they fit the
framework of history.”
—From the foreword by Mayor Rudy Giuliani
“An appealing read that draws a remarkable correlation between
great leaders of the ancient world and highly profiled leaders of
our time. It is both interesting and instructive to learn of these
striking parallels and to realize that extolled leadership at any
time often includes similar vision, like deployment and
unconventional strategies. It is also interesting to find that
notable personal failings of recent times have roots in yesterday.
Those who are interested in leadership can profit greatly from
reading this novel piece.”
—Larry Bossidy, coauthor of Execution and former CEO of
Honeywell
“Power Ambition Glory crystalizes the commonalities of highs and
lows of modern and ancient leaders. The book is, in fact, an
inspiration in showing how simple tenets such as focusing, setting
an example, and embracing diversity lead to true greatness. It is a
book that speaks to today’s void. What we lack today, Steve Forbes
and John Prevas remind us can be regained again by learning from
the lessons of the classic ancient leaders and even some modern
CEOs that lived by their examples.”
—Meredith Whitney, CEO and founder of Meredith Whitney Advisory
Group
“Steve Forbes knows the importance of history, and this book brings
that to our attention in a fascinating and pertinent way. Power
Ambition Glory is a wonderful read from beginning to end, and
people in all fields will learn and be inspired by it. Steve is one
guy everyone should listen to!”
—Donald J. Trump
“Steve Forbes and John Prevas have brilliantly woven together the
ancient world and permanent principles of effectiveness to provide
guidance for today’s would-be leaders.”
—Newt Gingrich
