“Why is ambition important to leaders? Ambitious leaders see opportunities that others can’t see or avoid because of the obstacles. Great leaders will put aside their personal ambition to bring out the ambition in the people they lead. There is nothing wrong with ambition in leadership when leaders work toward difficult goals. They constantly develop their skills and transform challenges into new opportunities. Tough missions and lofty goals take hard work and determination. Ambition can help leaders and their teams work together toward a vision and make it a reality. What is your ambition as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
