Kegan's work has been quite influential for me, both in helping me understand myself and others.
His later work, collaborating with Lisa Lehey is more actionable, in a work context, but builds on the foundations outlines here.

ETA: From the (Stanford) article this thread is attached to...
> Kegan (Robert) introduced his theory of self-evolution in 1982 in his book, The Evolving Self. In his later book, In over Our Heads: The Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994), he presented a revised version of his theory and further discussion of the implications of his work for society.
Of those two books, The Evolving Self is the easier read. I would start with that one.
Also, Zachary Stein's Lectica project has a video showing Kegan among other adult developmental psychologists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PDUK3tcN0
