Navigating Triangles in Leadership

In this episode, we continue our series on learning to managing self in triangles. Joining us for this conversation is our esteemed guest and good friend, Steve Cuss. As a reminder, this series is exploring the idea that triangles are neither good nor bad, but they are tricky and when you can see the triangles you’re in and understand how they work, you have a better chance of not only surviving them but offering calm, principled leadership in the midst of them.

Conversation Overview: 

• What are some common ways that leaders in particular show up in triangles?
• How do we get drawn into triangles? 
• How does being in leadership impact how we show up in triangles? 
• What kinds of triangles are we tempted to light up ourselves?
• What are some basic principles–and practices– about how we can better manage ourselves more thoughtfully in these tricky triangle situations?
