3. A good presentation is about effective
communication between two or more persons.
The competencies of the presenter that will be tested
are the verbal and non-verbal communication skills,
knowledge of making power point slides, ability to deal
with interpersonal skills while handling questions and
objections on differences of opinion and finally a word
of thanks on a courteous note.
Good presentations speak about the manager’s
confidence, level of knowledge, logical thinking, range
of ideas, and application of ideas to practical situations.
