ZhurnalyWiki: DelicatePower

Every strength is also a weakness; every triumph engenders a loss. Risks include:

overconfidence, blind reliance on one's trump suit ("They'll never attack here; we're too powerful!")
narrowing of choice --- focusing on the area where one leads, and ignoring other possibilities (putting all the eggs in a single basket.)
bandwagon-riding (playing follow the leader)
rear-view-mirror watching (fighting the last war)
hubris --- excessive pride from an initial victory based on sheer luck ("The worst thing that can happen to a new gambler is an early win.")

Strength leads to underestimation of both risk and the extent of one's ignorance.
