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 Assessment 1. You CANNOT select Political, Religious or Sports Leaders.

1. Describe at least two (2) key factors that in your opinion make your chosen leader successful? 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.
