Overextension

Overextension refers to a situation where an individual or organization takes on too many responsibilities, commitments, or tasks beyond their capacity to manage effectively. This can lead to stress, reduced performance, and potential failure to meet obligations. In broader contexts, such as foreign policy or business, overextension can result in financial strain or the inability to maintain influence or control in various areas. Essentially, it highlights the risks associated with going beyond one's limits, potentially jeopardizing success or stability.
