This work extends the consideration of spirituality and leadership to the field of strategic leadership. Future development in the field of spirituality and leadership will depend on greater clarity concerning the level of analysis, and will require a distinction between personal and collective spirituality. Toward that end, a framework is proposed that describes how the personal spiritual beliefs of a top level leader operate in strategic decision making like a schema to filter and frame information. This function is mediated by the leader's constructive development and meta-belief and moderated by the organizational context and leadership style. This framework provides a starting point for considering the many expressions of spirituality in organizations and serves as a foundation for a multilevel theory of spirituality and leadership.

Counselors who are culturally encapsulated are likely to create client mistrust and to misinterpret clients' cultural norms. This article presents the Cultural De-Centering Model (CDCM) as a constructive-developmental method for helping future counselors to be less ethnocentric in their work. The goal of the CDCM is to increase counselors' cultural relativism. Through the CDCM counselors are asked to name and challenge their assumptions about race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social class. They are then asked to re-examine the foundations of those assumptions and begin constructing culturally de-centered perspectives.

“…Adults who develop these more complex capacities are also likely to respond more effectively to what Kegan (1994Kegan ( , 2000 describes as the demands of modernity. For example, changing family structures require new ways of thinking about gender-related roles as well as what constitutes healthy partnerships, appropriate communication, and wise parenting.…”

“…A mature adult, however, is likely to examine the situation from various perspectives and choose actions in keeping with his or her value system. Unfortunately, these capacities-for objective analysis of both situation and self-are not evenly developed among adults (Kegan, 1994).…”
