Background
Being able to present to an audience is an essential skill for project manager to develop. There are a variety of
different settings where project managers may be required to present, from a small team meeting, to a large
corporate board and shareholder meeting.
It is important that every presentation take account of whom the audience is. A presentation delivered to an
interdisciplinary audience who may have no specialist knowledge of your field will be very different to a
presentation in front of learned specialists even if you are presenting essentially the same project at both
venues.
For assistance in giving oral presentations, see: http://federation.edu.au/future-students/study-at-feduni/studentsupport/student-futures-program/study-skills/oral-presentations

Requirements
You are required to give an oral presentation, with an accompanying software presentation, on a person you
consider to be a successful leader (e.g. JFK, a friend etc). The presentation is expected to take approximately
10 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for questions and comments from the audience.
This assessment will give you an opportunity to research a leader that you admire. As a minimum your
presentation should provide details of your chosen persons: a). leadership style and characteristics, b). stories
of their successes, c). why they appeal to you, and d). lessons for project managers. There should be evidence
of research you have undertaken through links to theoretical literature, and appropriate referencing. You should
be prepared to answer questions about any aspect of your leader. Innovation marks may be awarded for
evidence of engaging the audience etc.
