The Growth through Ambition and Resilience subfacet examines how personal ambition and the ability to persist through adversity contribute to professional growth. This subfacet explores the relationship between setting high aspirations and developing the resilience needed to overcome setbacks, as well as how growth mindsets enhance career trajectories.
Abstract: The concept of resilience is deeply tied to the growth mindset theory by Carol Dweck, which emphasizes that individuals who view challenges as opportunities for learning demonstrate greater perseverance and, thus, higher career growth. Ambition, combined with resilience, enables professionals to push through difficult phases and keep evolving.
