10 Behaviours of Smart People by CAM Partners

Dallas, TX, June 2015 – Smart people make smart decisions and that’s the most important factor in how things turn out for you. One of the smartest choices you’ll ever make is to seek out smart people in your work relationships. Just to be clear, you don’t need those who think they’re smart but do dumb things. You need the real deal. Since we don’t have smart meters built into our foreheads, here’s how to tell if someone’s smart, starting with the obvious:

They make smart decisions. Smart people know their actions have consequences. They also know that they have to earn business results one decision at a time. In other words, a few smart calls won’t make you omnipotent. Consistently making good decisions takes discipline and focus.

They learn from their mistakes. From our first steps to our last, we learn everything in life by trial and error. We all make mistakes because that’s how we learn. Smart people learn from theirs. After all, if you don’t face reality and judge yourself honestly, you’ll never do better next time.

They don’t have all the answers. There’s an old saying, “Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do.” It’s a funny line but if you say it in earnest, that’s pretty annoying. Smart people don’t need to constantly reinforce the fact by acting like know-it-alls. They’re smart enough to know how much they don’t know.

They surround themselves with smart people. No man is an island. Individuals may be smart but small teams do the best work. Steve Jobs may have been a control freak, but he made sure the eight or nine people on his leadership team were the most talented he could find and taught them to do the same with their teams. That’s smart.

They are resourceful. Since human intelligence is an evolutionary advantage -- we didn’t evolve an enormous neocortex for no reason – intelligent people are generally more adaptable and creative in the way they make use of their surroundings to achieve results.

They don’t live beyond their means. Don’t get me wrong, we all stretch ourselves somewhat when we’re young. But once you’ve achieved something you don’t want to lose, it’s not very bright to squander it needlessly by living beyond your means.  

They’re often their own worst enemy. As developed as our frontal lobes are, everyone has at least one emotional blind spot that haunts them. Oftentimes that’s just the flipside of whatever it is that makes them smart to begin with. Like yin and yang, they need each other to coexist.

As entrepreneurs, they’re not always successful. When it comes to business success, intelligence is necessary but not sufficient. I’m not talking about shysters who sucker people or someone who made a fortune off a single smart trade. To found and run a successful business over the long haul, you’ve got to be smart. Period.

10 Simple Ways To Motivate Your Team: Ideas From CAM Partners

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

10 Simple Ways To Motivate Your Team: Ideas From CAM Partners

Dallas, TX, May 2015 – There’s a reason that most of us get out of bed in the morning. It’s not because our alarms went off, it’s not because we love rising at a pretty ridiculous time in the am– it’s because we’re motivated. Sure, sometimes this may be a subconscious motivation, but it’s there and more importantly, it’s working.

Motivation is “a reason for acting or behaving in a particular way” and we all need it! It is hard to believe that there is someone doing something out there for no reason at all. However, although we always motivate ourselves in one way or another, all of us definitely need a nudge in the right direction sometimes.

In the workplace, motivation is an important tool. It could be something little as acknowledging your daily tasks fall under the category of a ‘job well done’ or even something as grand as an R&R weekend for top performers, but either way, motivation must be present to make sure that teams remain engaged, committed and more importantly, happy.

If you’re working in a senior position (or even if you work with a group of people) – your job is to motivate! Here are some really easy, effective ideas to motivate the people around you:

1) Be enthusiastic – That’s right, get genuinely excited about others (and don’t fake it, people can tell) 2) Think big – Act on big and small opportunities alike and always think about the ‘big picture’ 3) Reward ‘positive deviance’ – Not as bad as it sounds! Notice new practices that yield great results 4) Find challenges – Don’t entertain those finding problems, see theses as challenges in a positive light! 5) Bonuses – This is a given (and proven to motivate) Cash bonuses never go unnoticed! 6) Acknowledge results – Managers too often think that their job is to generate action, whereas it is to create results. 7) Dish out responsibility – Increased responsibility proves to your team that you value them and more importantly, trust them. 8) Make joint decisions – Involve everyone in decision making, what do they want? What motivates them? 9) Research your industry – Are there other motivational tools that really work for others in your line of work? 10) Recognition – If someone’s done a good job, tell them, show them!

These are just a few simple ideas we’ve summed up and the good thing is that you can start implementing them today. Motivation is such a vital element to a successful business and something as small as a pat on the back and a ‘well done’ can work wonders for individuals, teams and even entire businesses. So be sure to keep right up-to-date with new ideas and chat with your team. Remember, it’s them you want to motivate so surely the best suggestions come from the people themselves?

CAM Partners Review How To Build Your Business In 5 Easy Steps

CAM Partners Review How To Build Your Business In 5 Easy Steps

Dallas, TX, May 2015 – I can tell you quite confidently that building a business is no picnic. I hate to alarm you but it’s not as easy as you might think. It’s takes hard work, perseverance, resilience, tenacity, risk-taking and a whole bunch of other things (not to mention financial investment!) So, with all these seemingly negative aspects to starting a business, why do so many people do it?

It’s no secret. There are so many entrepreneurs with innovative ideas who are certain they can bring change to society with their product or service, and those businesses that see overwhelming success and consistent profits are the ones who do things right. Building a business can be made a much smoother ride if there is a logical process behind all actions taken.

At CAM Partners, we opened our doors for business in Dallas during the first quarter of 2015. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength, building a strong team of dedicated professionals and generating huge revenue to reinvest back into the business. So, how do we do it? Well, naturally the initial start-up of any company comes down to monetary factors but alongside that, here are 5 simple steps for you to form the foundation of your business:

Get organized Conventional wisdom suggests that good organization skills form a fundamental platform to the successful running of a business, and convention speaks the truth! This will ensure that you’re not forgetting anything and you’re completing of the tasks that are essential to the survival and growth of your company.

Get competitive You may be new on the market with an original idea or product but you’re always going to face competitors within your industry. Don’t worry! Competition breeds the best results, so be sure to learn and apply from competitors and use pure competition to encourage and motivate and happy, driven and positive workforce.

Get focused As a new business, it will inevitably take time for people to get to know who you are what you do and what you stand for so stay completely focused on your short-term goals and give the rest time to come together on its own. If you continue to work hard and put the needs of your clients before your own, you’ll soon start to reap the rewards of your efforts and endeavor.

Get consistent It’s a truth universally acknowledged that consistency is a key component to making money in any business, in any industry. Being true and consistent to your word will create long-term, positive habits that will help you profit in the long run. Remember, you are building your business for longevity.

Get creative You should always be looking for new ways and opportunities to improve your business and stand out from your competition. Always recognize that you don’t know everything and be completely open to new ideas and approaches.

So there you have it. Building a business is no walk in the park, but if you maintain a high standard of organization (that includes your team, not just you), always learn from your competitors, focus on the tasks at hand, remain consistent and keep your eyes open to new ideas, in no time at all, you’ll certainly see the fruits of your labor!

CAM Partners Look at Behaviors Leaders Need To Succeed

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAM Partners Look at Behaviors Leaders Need To Succeed

Dallas, TX, May 2015 – What competencies do leaders need to acquire?  You need to look at the behaviors that separate successful leaders from those who don’t achieve the same high standards. Here are six factors that differentiate them:

1. Strategic Perspective.  These leaders have a much clearer view of the future of the company. Their deep industry and culture knowledge enables them to be much better at anticipating market and economic trends.  They take a longer-term view of the business and the market, as well as taking the broad strategy and translating it into meaningful goals and objectives in their organizations.

2. Customer Focus and Understanding. The best leaders understand their customers’ needs, concerns, and problems. They often view themselves as partners in assisting their customers to accomplish their goals and objectives. Customers trust these individuals and therefore trust the business.

3. Ability to Spot Trends and Connect the Dots. Colleagues describe them as being able to “see around the corner.” Looking at the same data that others have available, the best leaders are able to identify issues that others pass by or ignore.

4. Engaged and Committed Teams. The best leaders know how to build a highly engaged and committed team. They create an esprit de corps within their team that leverages the skills and commitment of others to accomplish stretch goals and objectives. Their teams are the most desirable place to work in the company.

5. Willingness to Take Risks. The best leaders are willing to take risks and to capitalize on unrealized potential. They also recognize others in their organization for taking appropriate risks.

6.  Deep Knowledge and Expertise. International business today is complex both because of technology and the difficulties of doing business around the world. Great leaders are viewed as some of the most knowledgeable and experienced in their industry. They understand all aspects of the businesses that they run.

Conclusion Is your company expanding its presence? Look over these behaviors that define the most effective leaders and see if there are any you can improve on. It is true that the acquisition of cultural awareness and language capability makes a global leader’s challenges greater, but there are specific competencies that enable leaders to find success across all borders.

CAM Partners Discuss Mastering Your Body Language For Your Career

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAM Partners Discuss Mastering Your Body Language For Your Career

Dallas, TX, May 2015 – Speech is habit and by focusing on body language you can learn how to move from unconscious behavior to conscious behavior in every encounter so that you are always in charge of how you want to be known.

Our body language speaks volumes. The following five tips will help you fine tune your body’s broadcast system.

1. There is no "off switch." Stature is preparation for everything we do. Always stand in stature. The body inhales and your core muscles pull up and your chest expands. This is not simply standing up straight or at attention -- that is presentational and we tense. It is not only a physical posture, but a state of mind. In other words, live in stature, don’t simply "present" in stature -- walking down the hallway, a conference call, meetings -- formal or informal -- stature frames who you are, not simply what you do.

2. Release your tension. In front of a mirror, release your tongue and jaw and neck and shoulder tension by placing two fingertips in your mouth under your tongue and gently release. As you consistently do this exercise, you will not only feel more relaxed and confident, you will appear that way as well.

3. Practice maintaining eye contact. Like our voice, our eyes convey everything. Eye contact connects us literally and figuratively with one another. It is a critical technique that will help you break unconscious behaviors that send the wrong signs to your audience --namely anxious, insecure and untrustworthy ones. Making eye contact changes the sound of your voice -- you will notice a lower pitch, enhanced resonance and vocal energy -- it helps you to embody integrity, confidence and authority.

4. Make gestures purposeful. Gestures help you effectively tell the story or detract from what you are saying. In any presentation, all gestures must be purposeful, not random, unconscious or ever repetitive. Also, the way you stand in front of your audience matters. Again, practice in front of the mirror, hold your hands in front of you just below your belt line, clasping one hand in the other and notice what you look like. For your next practice, first engage stature and this time, lace your fingers together. Notice how you immediately appear more centered -- more grounded. This little hand adjustment creates a big visual difference.

5. Remember the handshake. Your handshake is often the first connection you make with someone. It may appear to be a perfunctory daily gesture, but it is not -- it is so much more. A handshake can be the equalizer. It conveys sincerity and warmth and should be firm but not aggressive. We make no exception for age, gender or status. Practice shaking hands with a friend or colleague while maintaining eye contact. Never rush.
