In business and in politics a man must carve and maul his way through men to get to be King of the Mountain. Once there, he can be great and kind--but he must get there first.

In both business and politics, individuals often face intense competition, requiring them to navigate conflicts and challenges to achieve power and success. This pursuit can be ruthless, with many resorting to aggressive tactics to reach the top. The journey to becoming a leader involves overcoming obstacles and rivals, which can sometimes lead to morally questionable behavior.

Once someone has ascended to the pinnacle of success, they have an opportunity to display greatness and kindness. However, the focus on the climb to power often overshadows the importance of virtues like generosity and compassion. In essence, achieving leadership status is a tough battle, but it opens the door to influencing others positively once established.
