We've known for years now that demands on leaders are only
increasing. Yet we have lacked widely understood, empirically
grounded and rigorous ways to support the development of adequate
maturity of heart, complexity of mind and skilful practice for
leaders to meet these demands. Over the past three decades, a
growing number of scholars and practitioners have explored the
value of a developmental approach to these issues. In Maturing
Leadership, Jonathan Reams brings together a cast of expert
contributors to introduce this work to a wider audience. While this
approach has previously been on the margins of mainstream
leadership development research, Reams brings it to the centre,
moving beyond the cliched characterizations of 'inner work' to
bring a finer granularity, precision and rigor to the subjective
workings of leaders. The chapters explore how applying insights
from the field of constructivist cognitive development can be a key
driver for supporting improvements in how we approach leadership
development. For researchers and students of leadership, this is an
essential addition to the leading theories of developmental
approaches to leadership. Increasing complexity in the world is not
a passing fad, and the need for leaders to grow in the maturity and
sophistication of their responses is a long-term need.
