Abstract
Spain and Brazil have played two significant roles in the field of higher education through inter-university cooperation; on the one hand, highly updated contents relating to sustainability and, on the other hand, an innovative system for the evaluation of education through competencies. This chapter presents an analysis of the model of integral sustainable administration. This model combines social, economic and environmental factors based on the most outstanding contributions in this topic, and coins the concept of “socioecosustainability” as a necessary model for the 21st century. Furthermore, an educational process on the basis of the model of climate change is evaluated. Conclusions provide useful recommendations in order to improve higher education around sustainability from the point of view of acquiring fundamental competencies for the development of professionals in truly sustainably organizations.

Interview with L.E. Munevar, an expert in coaching with over 15 years’ experience in the field. The interview discussed the leadership characteristic of Charisma; however, we did not include this feature as an indicator in our model given the nature of the course. We understand coaching to be “as a process of growth and change”. (Williams and Menendez 2007).
