Chapter Four. Developing and Delivering Leadership Presentations.

Summary:

In this chapter was providing that how plan presentation, including developing a communication strategy, how can prepare a presentation to achieve the greatest impact, and how present effectively and with greater confidence.

The leader’s skills are most visible to others when speaking, whether informally, with a few people around a conference room table, or formally, standing before a large group delivering a prepared presentation. Much of the 70 to 90 percent of the time that managers spend communicating in spent in conversations or in presenting, either talking to others one-on-one or speaking in groups or to groups. As managers move higher in the organization, their pronouncements become even more public and they spend greater amounts of time engaged in public speaking, whether internally to their employees or externally to the community. Leaders must master public speaking, becoming comfortable and confident in all kinds of presentation situations so that project a positive ethos for themselves and their companies.

In this chapter applied the tools and techniques of previous chapters-determining the strategy, structuring communication coherently, and using language effectively- to the art of public speaking. The chapter took through each of the action steps in the Three “T” process: Planning, Preparing, and Presenting. The process provided an approach to developing presentations that will help to move through each step strategically so that can deliver any type of presentation with confidence.
