Robert Kegan (born 1946) is an American developmental psychologist whose constructive-developmental theory describes how adults make meaning at successive levels of mental complexity, from the socialized mind to the self-authoring mind to the self-transforming mind. Born in Minnesota, he graduated from Dartmouth College in 1968 and took his doctorate at Harvard University in 1977. He taught for forty years at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, holding the Meehan Professorship in Adult Learning and Professional Development until 2016, and co-directed the Change Leadership Group. His books include The Evolving Self, In Over Our Heads and An Everyone Culture, which applies adult development to building deliberately developmental organizations.
