For those randomly selected to do an oral presentation, guidelines are as
follows:
- Do not read papers. Having notes is fine.
- Be careful about limiting yourself to a 3 minute
mini-presentation.
- The content of the presentation should be on:
1) What primarily accounts for the effectiveness of this particular
leader?
2) What is the major weakness(es) of the leader?
3) Lesson(s) to be learned.
- Avoid detailed descriptive biographic facts.
- Try to make your presentation as dynamic and entertaining as
possible. It’s all right to use overheads, posters, or slides, but, of
course, limited in number because of the time constraints involved. You
want to remember to points you are making.
- We have put a number of biographies of prominent leaders on three-day
reserve for your reference. A bibliography on leaders is also being
posted on the Internet.
For those doing a written report, the same guidelines apply, except that
your papers should be 350-500 words in length, covering the same
substantive
topics as indicated above. Written papers are due the evening of January
21.
