Do you ever lament the gap?
/You know the one... it exists in many “betweens”:
Decision - Action
Learning - Wisdom
Problem - Solution
Seeking - Answers
Plan - Outcome
People - Team
Idea - Product
Head - Heart - Hands
When I decided to do my solo survival walk, the gap before I could start seemed unreasonable. There was no short cut. There were skills to learn, planning to do and logistics to organise.
The gap was filled with mundane work less appealing than the challenge. Part of me wanted to rush to the start line.
I was coaching a leader this week who was lamenting the gap between her heart knowing it was time to move on from her role and how long it took for her head and hands to catch up. There was pain in the gap, but also growth and value.
Our world of instant everything downplays and devalues the gap. The gap is precious. Lean in.
Where are you finding a gap? What value is it creating?
