Abstract

This article aims to interpret the meanings of the values ​​of conscious leadership in the educational management of the IPSIARTE Academic Unit in Santiago de Chile. International and national antecedents on educational leadership are explored and descriptors of Conscious Leadership, Educational Management and Training by Competencies are developed. A qualitative approach and a hermeneutic method are used, applying semi-structured interviews to four social actors. The results are validated through internal and external review by social actors and an evaluation committee. The study categories include Educational Management, Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, Compassion and Conscious Leadership. In conclusion, it was found that the organization implements a humanistic approach in educational management, influencing the organizational culture and the quality of teaching through tools such as mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Compassion is the foundation of conscious leadership, facing challenges in personality and dedication to training, with a positive impact in the educational context.
