Ambition or Aspiration?

I’ve started to read Adam Grant’s new book, Hidden Potential. In the first few pages he makes the intriguing observation there is a difference between ambition and aspiration.

Drawing from the work of philosopher Agnes Callard, Grant writes, “ambition is the outcome you want to attain [while]…aspiration is the person you hope to become.”

What outcomes do you want to achieve in 2024?

What kind of person do you want to become?

What are your ambitions?

What are your aspirations?
