Humans are ambitious

Ambition seems to play a big part in motivating humans to do stuff.

The ambition for power, or wealth, or fame or all of them. To pretend otherwise is to delude ourselves.

Altruism or selflessness may drive the actions of many for a time when there are common goals or obstacles to be overcome. Once these are attained, however, we revert to the former.

Contrary to how some want to portray things, there's nothing wrong with ambition. Acknowledge it, create agreed rules of the game, and let's get on with it.
