Instructions
As the CEO of your company, you want to prepare your company’s emerging young leaders for the future.
Submit a presentation – showing slides and with your camera on (I WILL DO THE VIDEO RECORDING, PLEASE INCLUDE THE TALKING POINTS FOR EACH SLIDE IN THE NOTES SECTION) – on the type of leaders they need to be to succeed in the 21st century.
<< Talk as a leader speaking to the future leadership of your company. >>
Consider all the various concepts that have been discussed during class and the impact that leadership has on each one.
Be sure your presentation includes:
• Title page
• How would you define the 21st century business leader?
• What type of characteristics will those new leaders have?
• What impact will leadership have on the development of business structures and models?
• How will 21st century leaders handle ethical, legal, and social responsibilities and diversity and inclusion?
• How will leaders view the role and responsibility of teams?
• What new ways of using technology could these leaders embrace?
• How could new emerging business trends affect the future of leadership?
• Reference page
Submit the Presentation with Your Camera On, talking through the slides.
Length: 5-7 slides, excluding title and reference pages.
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.
Best Practices for Recorded Presentations
• Avoid complete sentences on slides; It will be easier for your audience to capture and remember your ideas with short phrases after bullets
• Use more graphics.
• To keep your listeners engaged:
o sound enthusiastic
o use inflection in your voice
o utilize strategic pauses to highlight key points
• Always begin and end a presentation with the “why” – what is the benefit of this presentation for your audience?
• Place references at the bottom of the slide where it was referenced in smaller text
• Use professional language (i.e. do not say “guys”, say “you all”
• Don’t begin with “Good afternoon.” You do not know when they will be viewing it.
