Your Definition
"Ambition by proxy" refers to a situation where someone delegates ambitious tasks, projects, or goals to another person without actively participating or contributing to the effort themselves. This term implies that the person is seeking to achieve success or recognition vicariously through the efforts of others, rather than taking on the challenges directly.
