Psychosis is still an appropriate term for people who want to gain influence and control.

That would make the diagnosis so common as to be meaningless.

Just because a large number of people seek control, power, and influence does not make it a worthy venture. It is a terrible trait.

People who wish to gain influence in order to make a positive impact typically aren't trying to make a positive difference, they're trying to gain notoriety . You can make a positive impact in the world without gaining influence.
