"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
