AddingZEROS
Release the Potential of the Business World
Executives are the ceiling of their team, their team’s behaviors, and their business’s results. When executives are growing in their skill sets and thinking strategically, amazing things happen.
AddingZEROS is to be a global Organizational and Executive Development firm, helping CEOs and executives bring clarity to how to lead and manage their organizations. The foundation of teachings and work with clients is based on AddingZEROS’ definition of a successful business.
A successful business is Sustainable, Predictable, Stable, Consistent, and has an Emotional Connection.
Our Brand Promise

To fulfill these promises, AddingZEROS defines how we work with clients in four words:
Our Core Values
AddingZEROS drives our behaviors and culture.
Impact Driven
Achieving exponential growth for ourselves and our constituents.
Intentionally Focused
Bringing clarity through simplifying structure, process, and details.
Thought Leadership
Relentless pursuit of excellence and knowledge in business.
Influential Inspiration
Creating energy with passion and belief.
Engaging Presence
Enhancing lives and aligning people to purpose.
Our Approach
AddingZEROS helps its clients gain leadership and management skills through the process called “STRATEGIC THINKING, EXECUTION PLANNING.”
Thinking strategically is about seeing the big picture, understanding that everything is connected, and every decision impacts everyone else. Critical thinking (for the big picture) is a skill that everyone can learn. When clients experience “Strategic Thinking, Execution Planning,” they are better able to not only lead and manage their organization better but can adapt to their challenges more effectively.
AddingZEROS believes that strategic planning no longer works. One must think strategically about how to have leverage, how to scale, and how to market, to maximize the opportunity that was chosen to address in the marketplace. In going through this process, one must balance people and productivity. Too many times, strategic planning solely focuses on the results or financials of the business. Team retention, engagement, and recruitment must also be discussed and acted on. AddingZEROS helps its clients see how everything is connected and how management must be fully engaged themselves.

The facilitator team at AddingZEROS is constantly learning, challenging its thinking, and identifying best practices to help its clients succeed. The team gets the results that the clients are after because AddingZEROS is best in three critical areas.
Making complex topics simple.
It is natural for humans to over complicate and overthink.
Teach to think like executives.
Most people have never been taught to be an executive. Great executives know how to balance the short term with the long term, teach their team to think, and anticipate needs and roadblocks for success.
Facilitate “Strategic Thinking, Execution Planning” process that gets results.
AddingZEROS role as a facilitator (not a consultant), is to teach people how to think, act, and influence in every interaction
Our Results
Heartland Coop
The AddingZEROS process of improving leadership and communication has enhanced every part of our organization. We’re doing a better job of explaining the ‘why.’ It’s been very positive for the coop. It’s been challenging, but we’re getting people on the same page, moving in the same direction. We have adopted new standards and practices. This is not another initiative that will go away.

Without our AddingZEROS Facilitator, we probably wouldn’t have been as successful. We were stuck in a rut. We’ve always been a great company, but we had unmet potential. Our AddingZEROS Facilitator helped us tap into that and run with it. And with different opinions at the leadership table, it’s good having a moderator for discussions. We can be brutally honest, but everyone is in a safe place for discussion. We gained the confidence and foresight to be more productive. It’s really helping us get the most out of ourselves.

We had a solid leadership team, but after the initial strategic thinking session, I could see areas where we weren’t aligned. We had different perceptions of the team and our core competencies. It was nowhere near where I saw things. AddingZEROS went deep to the root cause of the problem, and more clearly saw opportunities. I’m becoming a better leader. AddingZEROS helps me see what I can take off my plate, in order to know what I can take on. It’s helped with everything about who we are. We can now see and lead clearly.

Cargill
We had been so focused on equipment and process that we needed to spend time on talent development, teamwork and our vision. The AddingZEROS Facilitator’s strengths aligned with what we needed and the direction we wanted to go. We didn’t know what we didn’t know. Bringing in someone from the outside is always a good thing. We see ourselves one way, and the outside world sees us differently. We are now in a much better place, with focus on our vision and values as a team, we are very grateful we took this step.

My goal was to get us into the position where I could be a president again. I had staff to manage operations, but I was still solving low level problems. Our Facilitator has been working with us for a couple of years and has helped us get to a strategic thinking level in our planning.Every quarter we talk about lessons learned, and we refresh our goals depending on what we thought the world was going to look like. This accountability has been reinforced for me and my team. We really like the AddingZEROS approach.

The Executive Development Facilitator has helped create clarity in some frustrating situations. They've taught me to be proactive rather than reactive, and the AddingZEROS Facilitator is working with my team to make sure we're all using the same language and creating strong relationships. Every single time AddingZEROS comes with a challenge, they want a positive outcome out of it. Even if it feels like something might be futile, AddingZEROS can ask questions to make you relook at how you perceive it. It's hard to imagine getting through our growth without their key focus.
