Navigating difference in Mind The Gap
Mind The Gap by Kelly Swingler focuses on the spaces between intention and impact, particularly where misunderstanding, assumption and silence take hold.
As I read, I was reminded how often gaps emerge not from malice, but from misalignment. What one person considers clear, another experiences as ambiguous. What feels inclusive to some may feel excluding to others.
Swingler approaches these dynamics with care and curiosity, exploring how communication, power and perception shape experience. The book encourages readers to slow down and notice what is happening beneath the surface of everyday interactions.
What stands out is the emphasis on responsibility. Bridging gaps is not framed as the work of those who feel marginalised, but as a shared leadership task. That shift feels important.
Mind The Gap is a reflective and practical book, well suited to leaders who want to understand difference without oversimplifying it.
