Technology can be the hidden driver behind so many seemingly innocuous things. Something as simple as the phrase “mind the gap” came about in the 1960s when the London Underground needed to install a recording system to replace station attendants. The recording equipment they purchased had very limited storage capacity and therefore they needed a short, impactful phrase to remind riders to be careful while on the platform. Now this phrase is known all over the world, used in subway systems in other countries, even printed on souvenir shirts.
The gaps we face every day may not be as evident as the ones Londoners see daily when they ride the tube. It can be easy to hide the gaps and sometimes we don’t even know they exist until we fall into them. Don’t let yourself or your team be taken by surprise. These gaps don’t represent a weakness, they represent a challenge to learn.
