When It Comes To Making Presentations - The Most Successful Leaders Are “Seekers”
Every successful leader has to be involved in a presentation at some time in their career and when it comes to the enthusiasm that they have for making a presentation, they broadly fall into four categories:
The Avoider:
An Avoider does everything possible to escape from having to stand in front of an audience; in some drastic cases leaders may seek positions that do not involve making presentations.
The Register:
A Register is also extremely hesitant of speaking in public, however Registers may not be able to avoid speaking as part of their job but they never encourage it. When they do speak they do so very reluctantly.
The Acceptor:
The Acceptor will give presentations as part of their job but does not seek opportunities to do so. Acceptors occasionally give a presentation and feel they did a good job. They even find that once in a while they are quite persuasive and enjoy the experience.
The Seeker:
A Seeker looks for opportunities to speak. They understand that anxiety can be a stimulant which fuels enthusiasm during a presentation. Seekers work at building their professional communication skills and self-confidence by speaking often.
In Summary:
The reality is, that making presentations is an essential leadership skill and the most successful leaders are very good presenters. Any leader, who has ambitions to become the best in their sector or industry, will need to ensure that they can deliver dynamic, convincing and professional presentations, whenever they are called upon to do so.
Becoming a Seeker is a pre-requisite for success!
