Speaking from the perspective of someone who entered the industry relatively young and had the opportunity to grow into management roles: I'd say the hallmark of maturity is willingness to adapt to change, take necessary risks and overall maintain their individual interests in projects responsibly. Maturity is in fact, just survival. That is, do you think this person can hold their own, choose their tactics and strategy wisely and pick their battles? Passion is good, maturity is nice to have, but I'm consistently surprised by what young and old people can do given the right opportunity, the right management and the right culture.
