The word “Gap” is defined as a space or interval between two things/states/situations/realities…the list goes on. Closing or rather narrowing the gap is how learning and growth occurs.
The 7 most common gaps that I’m continually working to narrow are:
1. “KNOWING – DOING” gap
When I know what to do, but I’m not doing what I know, consistently
2. “INTENTION – BEHAVIOUR” gap
When my behaviour doesn’t match what I intended
3. “PLAN – EXECUTION” gap
When I have the plan, but I’m not executing the plan consistently
4. “AS-IS – TO-BE” gap
The gap between my current state and my desired future state – across any context
5. “THINK – SAY” gap
The gap between what I’m thinking in my head and what I’m expressing through words
6. “SAY – DO” gap
The gap between what I say I will do and what I actually do
7. “POTENTIAL – POTENTIAL REALISED” gap
The gap between the potential I have and the extent to which I’m realising that potential
What would you add to the list?
