Robert Keegan

Robert Kegan is a psychologist and developmental theorist known for his work on how adults grow and change over time. He proposed that people develop through several stages, each representing more complex ways of understanding themselves and the world. These stages involve gaining greater emotional maturity, self-awareness, and the ability to handle complex relationships and responsibilities. Kegan’s theories help explain personal growth, leadership development, and how organizations can support ongoing learning. His work emphasizes that development is a lifelong process, enabling individuals to meet increasingly challenging life and work demands with confidence.
