How Bad Do You Want Success—But Not Too Much

Notes to Young Leaders | 5 August 2024

As a mentor, I often goad young leaders agonising about whether they should commit to a decision which entails personal sacrifice: “How bad do you want it?”

After making sure you fiercely desire success, my next concern is to make sure you don’t want it too much.

So how much should you desire success?

As much as humanly possible … without losing your perspective on what matters more than success.
