To aid in this, AddingZEROS instils five organisational disciplines in leaders: strategy, business development, people, execution, and mission. It does this by teaching them how to be better executives in their communication, relationships, their personal planning and implementation. When executives grow, the team grows. When the team grows, the business grows. Monte believes that strategic planning no longer works, with him saying, “Yes, we must plan and prepare for the future. But the old way of strategic planning is no longer effective. We must think strategically in how we have leverage, how we scale, and how marketable we are, to maximise the opportunity we are choosing to address in the marketplace. In going through this process, we 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. We help our clients see how everything is connected and how management must be fully engaged themselves.” AddingZEROS has a 10-year goal of impacting one million executives. And its team is constantly looking for great facilitators and thought leaders to help serve its global client base. So many businesses are re-evaluating their strategy, their direction, and their team engagement – And AddingZEROS’ unique process is making a big impact, with client results being very rewarding. Company: AddingZEROS Executive Development Contact: Monte Wyatt Email: [email protected] Website: www.AddZerosNow.com May22487 Leading with Clarity AddingZEROS is an executive development firm helping CEOs and executives bring clarity to how they lead and manage their organisations. It provides companies with the tools and the guidance to add zeros in every aspect of their business – revenue, margin, profit, customer acquisition, customer retention, employee engagement, employment retention, and community involvement. In light of AddingZEROS being recognised as Best Mid-Market Executive Development Services Provider – 2022, we got in touch with CEO, Monte Wyatt to learn more about how his team helps those in management positions to achieve exponential growth. The foundation of AddingZEROS’ teachings and work with clients is based on its definition of a successful business. A successful business is sustainable, predictable, stable, consistent, and has an emotional connection. ‘Sustainable’, meaning the business should outlast everyone that is in it. ‘Predictable’, meaning it knows which actions create which results to predict the future. ‘Stable’ is all about people. Stability is created through high engagement and high retention of team members. ‘Consistency’ makes it clear what to expect from a company or department, no matter who is being interacted with. ‘Emotional Connection’ means that people love the company and its team and why they do what they do. A company can have great revenue and profit but not be considered successful. This definition was created to help organisations of every size succeed in the business world. Revenue and profit are needed in a business, but they are only two measurements of success. AddingZEROS helps teams and organisations to ensure their present and future are successful. CEO, Monte Wyatt says, “We believe that both leadership and management in every business is needed more than ever right now. Meaning, the team needs to be led and guided appropriately. Leadership and management are used synonymously, which I believe is incorrect. Leadership is a behaviour, and management is a role and responsibility. To ensure they are understood, we define them separately. Leadership is influence through passion and focus. Management creates competent and productive teams. Influence through passion and focus creates excitement about who we are, where we are going, and why we are different than everyone else. “As a manager, our role is to ensure that our team knows how to do their job at its highest level and that we are productive in getting results. At AddingZEROS, we help our clients gain leadership and management skills through our 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. Execution planning ensures that everyone is on the same page, knows who is responsible for what by when, and we are aligned with the results that we are after. When our clients experience “Strategic Thinking, Execution Planning,” they are better able to not only lead and manage their organisation better, but are able to adapt to their challenges more effectively.” The services provided by AddingZEROS are particularly needed in today’s business world with multiple current negative trends including staff retention, recruitment challenges, market fluctuations, and market disruptions. Monte shares his view on this with us, “We are all experiencing “The Great Resignation”, where every business has been impacted by employees leaving for various reasons. My belief is that this is a “Great Excuse”. Meaning this has been occurring for years. COVID just made it more prevalent and increased the numbers. It is an excuse because organisations and executives need to take ownership of creating reasons for people to stay. Not pay reasons alone. Employees must have an emotional connection to the company they work for. Executives must influence and create great cultures of caring for employees, making work impactful, and having their team excited about the company’s direction and future.”
