When it comes to power, one might feel that they have the tools necessary to lead people in the right direction, and so they feel obligated to become leaders. For example, if you're a better basketball player than the others, it would make sense for you to be the captain of the basketball team, especially if you are also charismatic, wise, kind, etc.
With that in mind, maybe the problem with some power-grabbers is that they are overly cocky; they think they are better qualified, and so they are more fit to be in a position of power.
This isn't really something I've thought about a lot, I just came up with this now on the spur of the moment, so please point out any flaws/holes in my position.
As for those who are greedy for money, perhaps it's just a feeling of insecurity, that money could possibly fill. I'm a lot less sure about this one.
