Using Pearce's four-part Communication Guide (p.83), create an 8-10 slide Power Point Presentation addressing an organizational or leadership issue of your choice. The choice of topics can range from ethical issues involving leaders to some of the most critical problems facing organizations today.

The focus of this assignment is to develop and practice your ability to communicate successfully with your constituents and increase your competence and confidence as a communicating leader. Power Point does not make you a better communicator but is merely a tool and one of many forms that you will use in delivering a message. The inspiration and passion of your message comes from you and Power Point, skillfully used, can support your ideas with words and images that will resonate with those you lead. Emphasis is also given in your ability to address these issues from a biblical worldview as you engage the marketplace as a Christian leader.

Here are a few details that will be reviewed in your presentation:

• PowerPoint communicates an organizational or leadership issue in a manner that is well researched, insightful, and professionally delivered.
• PowerPoint demonstrates critical thinking and a good understanding of issues presented.
• PowerPoint offers appropriate solution alternatives that lead the audience to a reasonable conclusion or decision.
• Subject knowledge is evident throughout the presentation. All information is clear and correct.
• Effectively integrates visual presentation. A high degree of organization, eye appeal, and fonts and point size are well chosen for easy readability.
• The layout is pleasing to the eye, appropriate to the message, and uses space well.
• Use of the NOTES Section in PowerPointto indicate what you would be saying with each slide (either as an outline or a script).
