Leadership and Executive Development
Our wealth of experience is wide and deep in leadership development and executive development, ranging from designing and delivering practical foundation courses for supervisors and emerging leaders to addressing the unique development needs of executive-level leaders in experiential, action-learning formats.
In business you get one of two things; results—or all the reasons you didn’t reach the results. At Morningstar Ventures we believe that the ability and agility of leaders are the cause of successful results—and the lack of is the reason for breakdown. And we know leadership ability can be strengthened at all levels.
What is Leadership Development
^ back to top ^
Advanced Communication Skills
At the foundation of our work is our ability to teach and translate the fundamentals of effective interpersonal communication.
There is a direct correlation between the quality of business relationships and the quality of business results. Collaborative relationships between co-workers is a fundamental of business success. Relationships with customers depend in no small part on our ability to communicate trust in one-on-one interactions.
The Five Core Communication Skills

Performance Management
In our view, performance management that functions as an active business management tool consists of three things:
- A process that is simple, and linked to business goals and expected behaviors.Development for managers in the core coaching and communication skills needed for effective, ongoing implementation.
- Commitment from leaders at all levels to instill accountability and discipline.
Morningstar Ventures' solutions are designed to address all three.

Process and Performance Improvement
Leaders say: “Of course our employees have the answer. Ask them to solve the problem.” Then when faced with acting on a front-line recommendation they often say: “We can not trust an employee to do that.”
Improvement in process and performance means change in how we think about power, authority and accountability in organizations. At Morningstar we don’t teach people to manage change, we create conditions in which they must manage change and thus they learn by doing.

Culture Change
When a restructure, merger or changes in the competitive landscape cause people to have to think and act in a dramatically different way, the task ahead can be daunting. We have a track record of producing results.
If you think being a silo-ed, hierarchical, authoritarian company is the way to competitive advantage, declare it so and act accordingly. There’s integrity in that. If you believe the way to win is through an organization that demonstrates uncommon agility, utilizes all of its brain reserve, and takes calculated risks, you must get people acting in alignment with that mission, and it can be hard work.
