Can you see triangles?

A couple of times in my past I’ve gotten hit on the head hard enough to see spots. One time, blindsided by two linesmen in a game of football who came at me from either side, I saw swirling spots. The experience of getting blindsided can leave us seeing spots, but, in the case of leadership, it would be more helpful if it resulted in our ability to see the triangle that spawened the anxiety that triggered the reaction that hit us with the equivalence of emotional blunt-force trauma. Can you see those triangles coming?

I will be interviewed by author Margaret Marcuson, author of recently released , Leaders Who Last on the topic of leadership and triangles. The call-in phone interview will be on Thursday, May 28, at 9 Pacific/10 Mountain/11 Central/noon Eastern Time. The one hour conference call conversation will be on the topic, “Can You See the Triangles?” More information can be found at Margaret’s website, here.
