Based on an extraordinary collaboration between Steve Forbes, chairman, CEO, and editor in chief of Forbes Media, and classics professor John Prevas, Power Ambition Glory provides intriguing comparisons between six great leaders of the ancient world and contemporary business leaders. • Great leaders not only have vision but know how to build structures to effect it. Cyrus the Great did so in creating an empire based on tolerance and inclusion, an approach highly unusual for his or any age. Jack Welch and John Chambers built their business empires using a similar approach, and like Cyrus, they remain the exceptions rather than the rule.

基于《福布斯》媒体董事长、首席执行官兼总编辑史蒂夫·福布斯（Steve Forbes）与古典文学教授约翰·普雷瓦斯（John Prevas）之间的非凡合作，《权力雄心荣耀》将古代世界六位伟大领袖与当代商界领袖进行了有趣的对比伟大的领导者不仅有远见，而且知道如何构建实现愿景的结构。赛勒斯大帝就是这样建立了一个基于宽容和包容的帝国，这对于他或任何年龄的人来说都是非常罕见的。杰克·韦尔奇（Jack Welch）和约翰·钱伯斯（John Chambers）使用类似的方法建立了他们的商业帝国，与塞勒斯（Cyrus）一样，他们仍然是例外而不是规则。
