Performance Excellence

“Knowledge is the connection between leadership and execution.”

Performance excellence results from integrating leadership, organizational learning and knowledge, and effective execution. GuideStar's Success Navigation System (SNS) is an action oriented, practical and thorough methodology for helping you build a character-based high-performing organization. The SNS engages the right people and fosters collaborative teamwork for achieving desired results.

The SNS is structured around the three critical success factors — Leadership, Knowledge, and Execution. These factors provide the "triangulation" for charting and undertaking your organization's journey to achieve and sustain performance excellence.

The SNS has a strong basis in leadership and organizational theories from prominent thought leaders that have been proven in the real world.

GuideStar has several services aimed toward helping you and your organization achieve success. Character-in-practice workshops and leadership development programs are designed to help leaders create character-based, high-performing cultures that lead to performance excellence. We also collaborate with executive teams in creating customized engagements tailored to specific organizational situations. Seminars are also available for large groups of diverse but related organizations, such as municipal governments, Chambers of Commerce, and service organizations, whose leaders believe performance excellence is important to the broader community.
