What is the Operationally-Sound Career Risk course about?

As enterprises scale, the pressure to specialize can inadvertently limit career resilience. Without intentional diversification, high performers risk becoming over-reliant on a single role, team, or outcome, limiting mobility and exposure to future opportunities. This creates fragility just as leadership expectations grow more dynamic.
