Abstract
It will be remembered that the sixth main area of managerial tasks was that of co-ordinating. This chapter considers the skills needed for the most efficient and effective presentation of material which the manager wants to get across to listeners. A detailed account of how to make such presentations has been included as most first-line managers, particularly those in the community, will, at some time, be involved in these activities. These skills, some of which are common to all forms of presentations, relate to:
-
using equipment (overhead projectors, charts and so on)
-
writing reports
-
speaking to small groups
-
making a speech
-
educating the public.
