Spiritually and Developmentally Mature Leadership

Abstract

This literature review provides four foci of importance to our examination of a spiritually mature leader. We first focus on Andre Delbecq himself, and the tremendous contributions he made to the field of Spirituality and Organizational Leadership. The review then shifts focus and examines the developmentally mature leader, focusing on various research studies that have emerged and provide us a better understanding of this topic. Third, the literature review moves towards an understanding of what might be a “spiritually mature leader,” exploring the presence or rather the lack thereof of this term, albeit present in research conducted. But also, including a new cutting-edge dissertation by Freer (2017) that takes on this question as it relates to the spiritually mature organization. Finally, we sample insights on spirituality and leadership from the field of psychology of religion. Through all of this literature, as well as our study itself, we hope to make a promising step toward understanding “what is a spiritually mature leader?”
