The 5.0 Stage of Development (Construct Aware) Up-shift from 1.0 and 3.0 Expert.

Leaders experiencing this stage may have these gifts

• Are learning the contours of their aware body: who is this Awareness of awareness?
• May see leadership as an illusion–made up story.
• Operate in a time frame that is historic but tend be grounded to be in the moment.
• Move in a space that includes all concrete and subtle thinking, feeling and relationship and behavior.
• See options for action as infinite, including no action.
• Are Aware of awareness, which brings expertise with the constructed nature of individual experience.
• May have early flashes of seeing their subtle ego, so may have confusion about arrogance and humility.
• New awareness of interior and causal, letting go and recognizing this new identity, so their exterior work may be backgrounded.
• Sees how individuals story their own words and boundaries

Leaders experiencing this stage may have these challenges

• May have trouble settling into this new identity so may change jobs, move, dissolve partnerships
• Receives a multitude of mind based constructions, stories, illusionary recognitions but can't prioritize amongst them
• May struggle with meaning making
• May "blurt" and use raw language
