The distance between how you think it’s going and how your team experiences it.

By the time information reaches the owner, it has passed through people who want to look competent, avoid conflict, or keep their jobs. Good news travels fast. Bad news travels slowly, and usually in a softer version than it started.
Owners also judge themselves by their intentions. You know you meant to be clear. You know you care about your people. Your team doesn’t see your intentions. They see what you do on a Tuesday afternoon when something goes wrong.
That’s the gap. Not a character flaw. A blind spot built into the job.
It rarely shows up labeled.
It shows up as four problems owners tell us about most. Each one gets treated on its own. Often they’re the same problem showing up in different places.
Two readings, not one.
Put the two side by side. Where they match, you’re leading the way you think you are. Where they don’t, that’s your gap.
Pick the gaps that cost the most. Fix those first.
Don’t try to fix everything. The Leadership Gap Intensive takes the two or three gaps costing you the most, in people leaving, time wasted, or decisions stuck on your desk, and turns them into a 90-day plan with names and dates. Then we measure again.
