While ambition can sometimes be viewed as ruthless, in the workplace, it can be the drive and motivation for achieving great success. Showing a strong desire and determination to succeed and continually enhancing professional credentials can increase financial compensation and access to promotions.
To desire achievement or distinction, whether that be power, fame or wealth can be perceived as selfish, or greed and excessive, but these elements also reduce focus to the pursuit of an individual's goal. The willingness to strive and work hard for its attainment is what turns hope and ambition into action and achievement.
