The Latin Americanist contribution of the Jesuits’ Alberto Hurtado University Coaching from Chile

Abstract

This paper reviews the Jesuit sources of the proposal for coaching formulated by an interdisciplinary team from Alberto Hurtado University, with which team members seek to contribute to organizational development from a coaching approach that encompasses the contributions of this subdiscipline and the values of Jesuit Social Christianity. The study focuses on the vision and values that emerge from Jesuit history and that contribute to managers and members of organizations that seek to bring about transformations with a continental view. This perspective will be analyzed in terms of the values that inspire the five main dimensions or axes in which Alberto Hurtado University’s coaching approach is articulated: an integrative-pluralist, relational-constructionist, appreciative-hopeful and systemic-strategic approach towards results, change and well-being.
