Importance of recognizing triangles and emotional maturity

Recognizing the presence of triangles and developing emotional maturity are crucial for personal growth. Triangles, which involve three individuals, often generate anxiety and can lead to further anxiety in a loop. Leaders need to be aware of triangles, especially when they find themselves in anxious interlocking triangles. By staying on the outside position of a triangle, leaders can make progress in their emotional maturity. It is important for leaders to be curious, ask questions, and avoid taking sides in order to maintain a neutral position in the triangle.
