Overview & Framework Record
Assessment Domain. Measures the integration of nondual awareness into leadership functioning across five dimensions: (1) Paradox Tolerance — capacity to hold irresolvable tensions without collapsing to one pole; (2) Somatic Presence — nervous system regulation and embodied awareness in leadership contexts; (3) Relational Transparency — degree to which the leader operates without defensive self-protection in interpersonal dynamics; (4) Decision Stillness — ability to access non-reactive clarity in high-stakes situations; (5) Shadow Integration — evidence of ongoing engagement with psychological material rather than spiritual bypass.
