Beyond Ambition presents a compelling and research-backed argument that the high-achieving managers who rise to the top of organisations often carry a fatal flaw: an overreliance on the same fierce ambition that propelled them there. Robert E. Kaplan, alongside co-authors Wilfred H. Drath and Joan R. Kofodimos, chronicles the psychological patterns that cause driven executives to dominate, overwork, and ultimately undermine both their teams and themselves, drawing on rich case studies and decades of leadership research.\n\nThe book argues that true leadership mastery demands a profound act of self-awareness — a willingness to look beyond the ego's relentless hunger for achievement and confront the personal and interpersonal costs it exacts. Kaplan's prose is incisive and unflinching, blending organisational psychology with deeply human insights to create a work that is as much a guide to personal transformation as it is a leadership manual. For any driven professional who suspects that the next promotion won't quiet the restlessness within, this book poses the question that changes everything: what lies beyond ambition?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130926735579,"sku":"2026200012276-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a82043bb-f2f0-4148-aef0-9adb725ddaa4.png?v=1786592394","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012276-secondhand-beyond-ambition-how-driven-managers-can-lead-better-and-live-better","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
