Her proactive and visionary approach is sorely needed since the 'career' game has shifted. Gone is yesteryear's 'company man' career situated in a paternalistic and seniority-based organization, characterized by steady and predictable progression up the hierarchy, culminating in the certainty of retirement. Today's workplace 'free agency' model is entrepreneurial, necessitating high agency, resulting in multiple cross-functional, lateral, and external career moves, culminating in myriad outcomes.
