Greed is a very present theme in the Bible, it is a serious sin that must be out of the Christian life. The love of money is a clear sign of greed, but so can the desire for power and greatness.

There is a difference between greed and ambition. The Bible allows you to seek to improve, as long as it is with good intentions, without letting it dominate your heart.
