In recent weeks you have been exposed to a range of content exploring people and organisation’s; leadership and performance; leadership behaviours, styles development and effectiveness and strategic leadership.
For this video presentation, you are required to select a business leader of your choice (it can be from Australia or overseas). However, it cannot be from the organisation/company that you chose in

2. Identify at least two (2) keys ways that your chosen leader has made a significant impact on their business and how their performance as a leader can be measured?
Assessment Instructions
To ensure the success of your video presentation, you should take account of the following:
1. You are required to appear on the screen and ensure that your voice can be clearly heard;
2. Record the video in a quiet location so that background noise and interruptions are minimized;
3. You are required to create a series of 10-12 PowerPoint slides with talking points to assist your presentation;
4. Talk to the camera instead of reading notes or your PowerPoint slides;
5. Be creative, a good presentation is not just about the content but the way that you present it; and
6. Practice numerous times beforehand and/or with a friend so that you are confident.
You should refer to at least three (3) relevant theories/concepts with appropriate referencing, that you have covered in the subject in your presentation to support your answers.
