Welcome to “Staying Relevant with Mitchell Levy,” your weekly guide to navigating an ever-changing world. Each issue explores the strategies, mindsets, and practices that help you adapt, evolve, and thrive amid constant disruption.
You have strategy decks. Vision statements. KPIs. And yet, the moments that define your leadership rarely happen in the boardroom. They happen in the gaps, those in-between moments where someone looks to you not for answers, but for example.
It’s what you say in the hallway, how you respond when the pressure hits, whether you make eye contact or stay buried in your phone.
People Remember the Gaps
Your intentions don’t measure your credibility. It’s measured by what people experience when you’re not rehearsed. Those fleeting moments build the long-term trust that fuels referrals, performance, and culture.
If the “gaps” in your day are filled with reactivity, disengagement, or misalignment, your team feels it even if they never say a word.
What Makes Gaps Powerful
They’re unscripted: People see the real you.
They’re intimate: These moments are often one-on-one.
They’re frequent: They happen more often than major events.
Your ability to lead in the gaps determines whether people trust your leadership when it matters most.
Ask Yourself:
Do I consistently show up, even in the small moments?
Am I reinforcing trust when no one is watching or unraveling it?
How do people feel after brief encounters with me?
These aren’t little things. They’re everything.
