Abstract

The article discusses the gendered idea of ambition in the workplace and how it affects women's career advancement. It highlights the challenges women face in balancing work and life demands, such as child-rearing and domestic work, which often leads to a perception of lacking ambition. The article suggests that companies need to adopt a flexible approach to growth and redefine ambition by offering flexibility in pace and path, providing development opportunities, offering recognition, and giving high-quality feedback. By doing so, companies can support the career advancement of high-performing women and leverage their talent and potential. [Extracted from the article]
