This first section is your reset point. Before we get into frameworks, diagnostics, and mitigation plans, you need a clear understanding of what Executive Debt actually is and why it shows up faster than most leaders ever notice. You'll see how it builds in the background, compounds when you’re not looking, and eventually drags down growth, alignment, execution, and culture if you don’t get ahead of it.

You’ll also learn how this course works. The Self-Assessment you completed isn’t a formality — it’s your baseline. By the end of this section, you’ll know how to read your results, zero in on your lowest-scoring category, and use that insight as the first building block of your Executive Debt Mitigation Plan. That plan will carry through the entire course.

This section gives you the lay of the land. You’ll see how each lesson stacks on the next, how the tools fit together, and how the ideas move from concept to action. No fluff. No theory for theory’s sake. Just a clear path forward.

The goal here is simple: get you oriented, focused, and ready to dig in.
