Management Presentation: 8 Tips, Examples & a Template

In a corporate context, presenting works wonders for a career. Most professionals get exposure to presenting to informed colleagues and department managers. It’s an ideal way to get visibility and show value. But a management presentation to senior executives who aren’t familiar department nuances is a different ballgame.

A management presentation is a high-level summary to senior executive that optimizes reports to include only the details relevant to directorial decisions . They are notoriously difficult to navigate for two reasons: 1. most executives do not have working knowledge of the nuances in each department , 2. presenters rarely have time to understand executives’ preferences .

More than anything else, good management presenters learn how to strike a balance in the degree of detail: they provide enough detail so executives make informed decisions, but not so much detail that they cause confusion.

This article explores how to make a good management presentations in PowerPoint using 4 management presenting best practices , 4 management presenting techniques , providing examples for each, and finishing with a management presentation template you can apply in real life. You can use it as a jumping off point for deeper communication curriculum .

5 management presenting best practices are:

• Ask what managers prefer ahead of time.
• Have 1 message, and 1 message Only.
• The only words should be “Thought Starters.”
• Keep it short.
• Practice 7 times in advance.

4 management presenting techniques are:

• Use a CSP model – Challenge, Solution, Progress.
• Begin with a summary of exactly 3 points.
• Use only these 3 chart types: bar, line, scatter.
• Design slides with the company logo.

I will use a financial analyst perspective in this article, but everything here applies to data and business analysts as well.

Ask Executives Their Preference Ahead of Time

If you’ve ever taken a class on presentation techniques, you’ve heard the old adage “know your audience.” It’s true, the best way to deliver a great presentation is to align your message with what your audience already understands. The same applies to a management presentation.

The challenge is that, more often than not, executives are too busy for you to get to know them well. This means you hardly get the chance to understand how they like presentations. So what can you do? Well, ask them! There’s no harm in sending an email to understand better. And what’s more, once you know, you can always defer to their preferences in the future.

For a financial management presentation, common questions to ask include the following:

• Do you prefer to see raw data, or only visualizations?
• Do you prefer charts or table summaries?
• Would you like a written explanation on paper for each slide?
• Do you like averages alone, or do you prefer means, or standard deviation?
• What interests you most in a presentation?

If you gather some helpful insights, then your presentation will be that much better. That said, you may not get a response, or it may be quick and not insightful. But most senior executives will appreciate you asking .

The best part is you will be able to surprise them. Using the best practices and techniques below, in additional to any insights gathered form your email, will work wonders for you.

Have 1 Message, and 1 Message Only

The easiest mistake to make on a management presentation is trying to deliver multiple messages. Senior executives go through loads of meetings every day, and each meeting they have includes a wave of information. Your mission should be to deliver 1 essential message so they can easily understand and compartmentalize it.

This is no easy task. When I try to narrow down the focus of my management presentation message, it seems like I leave out critical information along the way. The key is to tell a story to incorporate critical information as part of a story towards the essential message.

For example, imagine you work for a wholesale watch company called Batch Watch . You want to explain a financing operation in which the company has the option of two loans to fund the initial costs of 10,000 watches. These loans have different interest rates and maturity dates. Loan A is better if the company expects to sell the watches within 3 months, while Loan B is better if the company expects to sell over more than 3 months. Each has cancellation fees and cash flow impacts.

Instead of showing the cancellation fees and cash flow impact of the each loan, all you need to say is “ we expect the company to sell them within 3 months, and we recommend loan A for that reason.” If the executives disagree on the sale timeline, they will ask for more information.

This is how you keep senior executives engaged, by integrating them in the story you tell. Ultimately, the essential message of your presentation should be how much profit the company will make from the watch funding operation. Senior executives should leave feeling like the project is in good hands with you, and they only feel that way when you tell a story around the essential message .

Whatever the Message, Use Data

Whatever message you want to send, it needs to be backed up by data. In the example above the data was financial, but it’s not always that simple. Context may require you to provide KPIs and perform extensive data analysis that culminates in a small output that your viewers can easily digest.

You need to be strong with data to deliver a good management presentation. To get started or refresh your memory, you can read AnalystAnswers’ free Intro to Data Analysis eBook .

The Only Words Should be “Thought Starters”

As a general presentation principle, you should not write many thoughts down on presentation slides. Words have two negative impacts on the audience: they demand energy from the reader, and they make the reader feel compelled to read, lest they misunderstand.

If you can avoid putting text blocks altogether, do. If you don’t need any writing at all, don’t. However, if you need guidance as you speak or want to provide reminders for a later data, use “Thought Starters.”

Thought starters are phrases of 3 words maximum that contain ideas leading to the essential message. People often call them “bullet points,” which is common for list-style thought starters. Personally, I prefer to place thought starters at different places on a slide. When I use a chart, for example, I put thought starters at relevant places on the slide.

Keep it Short

Your presentation should never consume more than 80% of the allotted timeframe. This means that if you plan a 5 minutes meeting, deliver the presentation in 4 minutes. If you’re given 30 minutes, do it in 25 minutes. If you have 1 hour, do it in 45 minutes.

By keeping the presentation short, you relieve the audience and you allow for some question buffer. Have you ever sat in a meeting planned for 1 hour, and at 45m it ends early? It’s a pleasure for everyone. Most of us feel like we’re running behind — when you put us ahead of schedule, we love you!

At the same time, senior executives may bombard you with questions throughout the presentation. If you planned to fill the whole timeframe, you won’t finish. But if you planned to finish early, you still have a chance.

And if you use the rest of these best practices and techniques, those senior executives shouldn’t need to ask too many questions!

Practice 7 Times in Advance

There’s a mix of opinions on the number of times you should rehearse a presentation before doing it live, but most people agree that it’s somewhere between 5 and 10 times. If you take nothing else from this article, take this. To deliver a good presentation, prepare excellent slides; to deliver a great presentation, practice presenting them 7 times.

To deliver a good presentation, prepare excellent slides; to deliver a great presentation, practice presenting them 7 times. AnalystAnswers.com

But just practicing isn’t enough, there are a few criteria you must meet:

• Practice in the room you will present in. There’s something about envisioning yourself live that really makes a difference. When you practice in a space other that where you’ll present, it’s good. But when you practice in the “live” room, you’re able to sensitize yourself to the environment, which calms nerves so you can focus on the message.
• Have an audience. We all behave differently when there’s stimulus of other people around. Whenever possible, get one or two people to whom you can present. In addition to getting used to having an audience, you’ll also get some feedback.
• Use the same volume of voice. When we’re not “live,” we have a tendency to hold back on our voice. This is detrimental to the presentation because you feel taken off guard by your own voice. Make sure to envision yourself in front of the senior execs when you practice.

Best Practices Recap

We’ve addressed 5 best practices — now let’s turn our attention to 4 specific techniques you can easily implement. And when you do, that work wonders for management presenting.

Use a CSP Model (Challenge, Solution, Progress)

Every presentation needs structure, but it’s easy to forget that we need to guide our audience. A great way to structure management reports is using the CSP model. CSP stands for Challenge, Solution, Progress, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.

You need to explain the challenge or goal, explain what the solution to the challenge is (or how to achieve the goal), and show where you are in the steps to completing that goal.

For example, let’s look at our Batch Watch case. Imagine you need to find funding for a new product launch — $100,000 to be exact. A sample CSP model for this would be a slide that shows:

By using the CSP model, you guide the audience. However, it’s important to note that the CSP model is not a summary . It’s an overview of the process, but a summary should always come before. Let’s talk about it now.

Begin with a Summary of Exactly 3 Points

Any good presentation begins with a summary. And a good summary communicates the essential message simply in 3 points. However, the summary is not the same thing as the CSP model. Instead, it provides an alternative view on the challenge and and solution.

For example, using our Batch Watch case of funding a new product, you could address a summary in the following way:

• Challenge, Solution, Progress
• Funding acquisition
• Project Timeline

This provides additional details that are most relevant to the project and carry added value to the CSP model.

Use only Bar Charts (aka Column Charts), Line Graphs, and Scatter Plots

Whether it’s for data, financial, and business analyst topics , management presentations should only ever have bar charts, line graphs, and scatter plots. They are common, rich in information, and well understood. Any other kind of graph is distracting more than anything else.

A bar graph is useful when you want to compare like variables. For example, if you want to show the average size of Canadian trout versus American trout. A common mistake, though, is to use bar graphs to show change over time. While it’s not incorrect to do so, line graphs are better for this purpose.

A line graph is useful when you want to show change in one variable over time (we call this time series data). For example, if you want to show the progression of revenues over time, line graphs are the perfect way to do so.

A scatter plot is best when you want to compare a set of observations of one variable to a set of observations of another. It’s the ideal way to quickly visualize the relationship between two variables. For example, if you want to see how company revenues compare to GDP, you could use a scatter plot like this:

For example, let’s look at our Batch Watch case. If we want to see how our company is performing compared to the economy as a whole, we could use this scatter plot. As you can see, we have a positive (bottom left to top right) relationship, but a weak one (points not clustered closely).

Design Slides Using the Company Logo

When you’re presenting to senior executives, you want your slides to look professional. The best way to do that is by putting your company logo on them, including any corporate design standards (colors, fonts, etc). Show through your presentation that you belong to the same company, and that you’re in it in spirit. For example, let’s add the AnalystAnswers.com logo to our CSP slide:

Techniques Recap

Here’s a sample management presentation template below. I hope you understand after reading this article that management presentation is more about your delivery than it is about the slides you prepare.

While the techniques we’ve discussed will help you build a good presentation, your success really depends on how well you deliver the ideas needed to help senior executives make decisions. At the end of the day, it’s all about balance.

If you only remember two things from this article, remember that great management presenters give enough detail to inform senior executive but not too much that they cause confusion, and great management presenters make sure they do so by practicing 7 times in advance. You’ll have to practice, practice, practice.

Shot of a young businessman delivering a presentation

While most entry-level or non-managerial positions may not require them, jobs that are higher spec and demand strategy, stronger communication skills, and leadership ability, usually require the candidate preparing for the interview to also create and deliver a presentation to the interview panel. The presentation can be based on any given topic assigned by the hiring team and will require you to think creatively and logically to develop a solution or approach, based on a hypothetical scenario.

If you have an upcoming interview for a leadership or management role, and your interview invite includes a task or presentation requirement, read on to learn tips for developing and refining your presentation.

What is the hiring manager looking for?

The hiring manager sets this pre-interview task to gauge how clearly you think and organize ideas, assess your business strategy acumen, and test your communication and research skills under pressure.

Always remember to revert to the job description as you prepare, so that you do not wander off topic or out of the limits of your potential role. This will also guide you as you pull from the core competencies listed in the "Person Specification" section of the job advert and seek to demonstrate them throughout your presentation.

Start by establishing what is being requested in the prompt

Look carefully at what is being required of you in the interview invitation email you would have received. Carefully analyze and dissect the most pertinent information. Identify what knowledge gaps you may have regarding the business, market, or product, which could hinder you from delivering this presentation confidently, and start your research immediately so as not to burn time.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of September 2023

Best 5% interest savings accounts of september 2023, create a presentation outline.

Draft an outline, based on the requirements in the prompt, so you can structure and design your slide deck seamlessly. Your outline should always include:

• A title slide with the name of the role or presentation task
• An overview slide listing out the key points you will be covering
• The main body slides to address each focus area in the prompt task
• A conclusion slide briefly reiterating all points and your suitability for the role

Find relevant examples to back your points

It's one thing to tell the hiring manager what your 3-month strategy would look like if you were successful in landing the role; but it takes it a step further and you get bonus points if you (briefly) relay specific examples of where you have implemented this successfully previously.

Note, make it brief , because you will typically be allotted no more than 10-15 minutes for the presentation. The worst thing you can do is dance around the topic and cover everything else except what has been asked of you.

Deliver a real-world taste of your expertise

Showcase how much of a great fit you are for their team by speaking in a positive, future-focused way, as if you were already hired! For example, if talking about an action plan you would like to implement for sales growth and business development, relay the bullet points for each step of the plan on a slide and assign an estimated date/month for completion next to each one.

Talk in-depth about how your plans could affect other dependencies within the business, based on your research. This helps the hiring panel visualize exactly what success will look like if they choose to hire you.

Make your slide deck visually appealing

We've all seen those blank, boring PowerPoint presentations that relay nothing except the bare facts in black and white, with perhaps a few misplaced photos and icons scattered throughout. Make yours exceptional and visually stunning.

Take time and care to align the color scheme of your presentation with your prospective employer's brand colors; explore the plethora of templates available on Microsoft's PowerPoint, Canva, or other creative presentation tools; use your imagination to make it clean, crisp, professional, high-quality, and engaging.

You can also use the "Designer" tool on PowerPoint to explore more design ideas related to your specific template and content.

Hiring manager extends a handshake

When you take time to fully understand what the hiring manager is looking for, use this information to develop your outline, and link back to relevant examples, you can be sure to leave a favorable impression on your interviewers. Your challenge is to now take it a step further and grip their attention through utilizing powerful imagery and visual appeal, and a preview of how you would operate if you were hired.

Go ahead and craft that stellar presentation. You're one step closer to landing your dream role.

10 Presentation Ideas For Leadership Teams and Training

Leadership teams shape organizations for better or for worse. They’re responsible for guiding teams and moving things— big or small— forward. So what makes a great leader versus one that causes employees to leave a company?

When you think of a great leader, it’s probably a specific characteristic that comes to mind. Qualities like respect, self-awareness, trust, influence, collaboration, and strong communication skills can set extraordinary managers apart from mediocre ones. But how leaders listen, learn, and communicate with their employees is just as important. Because of that, leaders— regardless of the industry— need to hold themselves accountable and continuously seek out ways to grow as a manager.   

It’s not uncommon for companies to host offsites or retreats to bring the leadership team together for brainstorming, planning, and training. This helps align leaders across various departments, teams, and offices, while offering them the tools they need to be more successful in their role. 

When preparing a presentation for leadership teams and training, it's crucial to focus on content that resonates with the audience's strategic mindset and their role in guiding the organization. Here are some leadership presentation ideas to help inspire your own content.

Leadership presentation ideas

Presentations can act as a platform to encourage learning and collaboration among different leaders. Do you have a leadership retreat coming up? Here are 10 leadership presentation ideas to help train and motivate your own leadership team. 

Effective leadership strategies

As a recurring training, you might share effective leadership strategies with your executive team. This presentation would act as a refresher of the latest trends and best practices in leadership. This could include insights on empathetic leadership, fostering a positive company culture, and embracing diversity and inclusion.

Change management

How should managers and leadership teams address the challenges and opportunities associated with change within the organization? A change management presentation would provide strategies for how leaders can navigate transitions successfully, with the least amount of disruption to the team.

Strategic planning and decision-making

A strategic planning and decision making presentation will offer insights into the process of setting achievable goals and making informed decisions. Organizations might also use a strategic planning presentation to lead their own company brainstorming sessions at a leadership all-hands meeting. 

Team development and engagement

Team development and engagement is important for the overall success of the team. In this presentation you might share techniques for fostering a high-performing and engaged team, including methods for providing feedback, coaching, and creating a supportive work environment.

Communication skills

Communication skills can make or break a leader. A training session on effective communication in leadership roles could be beneficial for both managers and executives of all levels. Here you could offer practical tips for clear, transparent, and empowering communication.

Leading through uncertainty

Given the current business landscape and layoffs happening across various industries, leadership teams need to know how to handle hard situations. This presentation idea for leadership teams would discuss strategies for navigating uncertainty and ambiguity, including how to maintain resilience and inspire confidence in a team concerned about job security. 

Embracing innovation and creativity

It’s no secret that AI is here to stay, and teams are having to pivot to accommodate new technology. Use a thoughtful presentation to encourage leaders to embrace innovation and promote a culture of creativity within the organization. The slides in this deck could showcase the benefits of adopting innovative approaches and thinking outside the box.

Building high-performance teams

Leaders need the right tools and knowledge to be able to guide positive performance. Employers might offer a training “how-to” on best practices for assembling and nurturing high-performance teams. This deck should include strategies for fostering collaboration, trust, and accountability among teammates. 

Data-driven decision making

As a leader, leveraging data to make more informed decisions should be top of mind. This leadership presentation idea can highlight the importance of leveraging data and analytics in decision-making processes, and offer guidance on how to incorporate data-driven insights into leadership strategies. This could include ways to implement KPIs, OKRs, or other effective ways to track the performance of individual contributors and campaigns. 

Ethical leadership

A wildly important leadership topic is ethics. Upper management should be well-educated in ethical leadership, and how that impacts the success of the team. An ethical leadership presentation could include the significance of ethics, the impact it has on organizational culture, employee morale, and long-term success, and how to ensure it’s top of mind in each department on a daily basis.

Beautiful presentations to drive your message home

You have a presentation topic, now what? The hardest part of presentation design is going from idea to deck with little design skills to back you up. Thankfully, there's a presentation software for that. Insert: Beautiful.ai. Beautiful.ai helps leadership teams create beautiful presentations so they can pack a bigger punch with their message and inspire their audience. Presenters can use one of Beautiful.ai's customizable pre-built presentation templates — like the training presentation — or leverage our AI-assistant to create a presentation from scratch specific to their topic. By creating beautiful decks you can engage your audience, drive your message home, and leave your leadership team feeling inspired to make a difference.

Roles and responsibilities presentation: A comprehensive guide

Learn how to create a roles and responsibilities presentation that is clear, concise, and informative.

Raja Bothra

Building presentations

Hey there, fellow presenters and content creators!

Today, we're diving deep into the world of roles and responsibilities presentations.

Whether you're a manager, team leader, or just someone looking to create an impactful presentation, understanding the ins and outs of this essential tool can make a world of difference in your communication.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore what roles and responsibilities presentations are, why they matter, what to include in them, how to structure them effectively, and the do's and don'ts to keep in mind. Plus, we'll provide some key takeaways to help you create engaging and informative presentations.

So, let's get started!

What are roles and responsibilities?

Before we delve into the specifics of creating a roles and responsibilities presentation, let's ensure we're on the same page regarding the concept itself. Roles and responsibilities refer to the division of tasks and duties within a team, organization, or project. It's the cornerstone of effective teamwork and communication.

In any group setting, it's crucial for individuals to know who does what, who to turn to for specific tasks, and how their contributions fit into the bigger picture. Roles and responsibilities provide clarity, streamline operations, and prevent confusion. Without them, chaos can ensue, leading to missed deadlines, overlapping duties, and frustrated team members.

What are the uses of roles and responsibilities presentation?

Now that we've established what roles and responsibilities are, let's delve into the multifaceted world of roles and responsibilities presentations. These presentations serve a plethora of invaluable purposes, ensuring clarity, efficiency, and effective communication within your organization or project. Here are some of the key uses:

1. Providing a clear blueprint for new team members

Roles and responsibilities presentations can be instrumental when introducing new team members to your organization. Imagine them as newcomers embarking on a journey, and your presentation acts as the map. It helps them navigate the complex terrain of who does what and how they fit into the team puzzle.

2. Defining roles and responsibilities for new projects

Starting a new project is like setting sail into uncharted waters. To avoid getting lost in the vast sea of tasks and responsibilities, a roles and responsibilities presentation becomes your compass. It ensures that every team member knows their role, which direction to steer, and how to avoid collisions along the way.

3. Effectively communicating changes in roles and responsibilities

Change is the only constant, especially in dynamic work environments. When roles and responsibilities evolve, it's essential to communicate these changes clearly to all team members. A presentation serves as a beacon, guiding everyone through the turbulent waters of transition.

4. Accelerating new employee onboarding

The onboarding process can be a steep learning curve for new employees. A roles and responsibilities presentation simplifies this process by providing a structured path for new hires to quickly grasp their specific roles and contributions. It's like giving them a head start in the race towards productivity.

5. Enhancing team communication and collaboration

In the fast-paced world of today's organizations, efficient team communication and collaboration are essential. Roles and responsibilities presentations facilitate this by ensuring that every team member comprehends their part in the collective effort. Think of it as the conductor's baton, orchestrating a harmonious team performance.

6. Educating stakeholders on organizational dynamics

Roles and responsibilities presentations are not just for internal use. They can also serve as a valuable tool to educate external stakeholders on the intricacies of your organization. By providing a clear picture of who does what, you help external partners understand how they can contribute to your success.

7. Fostering teamwork and collaboration

Promoting teamwork and collaboration is a cornerstone of organizational success. Roles and responsibilities presentations increase awareness of the different roles and duties within your organization, ultimately strengthening the bonds between team members.

8. Identifying and addressing gaps

Sometimes, organizations may encounter gaps or overlaps in roles and responsibilities. A well-structured presentation can serve as a magnifying glass, helping you identify these issues and take the necessary steps to address them.

Roles and responsibilities presentations are versatile and invaluable tools. They can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, from onboarding new team members to explaining complex project structures, and from enhancing teamwork to educating stakeholders. These presentations are the glue that holds together the intricate dynamics of modern organizations, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal.

How to structure an effective roles and responsibilities presentation

Structuring your presentation is crucial for clarity and engagement. You can use powerpoint templates to help you create an organized structure. Here's a recommended format:

Title slide: Begin with a title slide that prominently displays "Roles and Responsibilities Presentation" along with the presenter's name and the date of the presentation.

Introduction: In the introduction, set the stage by explaining the purpose of the presentation. Emphasize the significance of understanding roles and responsibilities in the context of your organization or project.

Agenda: Outline the main sections that you'll cover in the presentation to give your audience a roadmap of what to expect.

Context and background: Provide essential context regarding the organization or project for which roles and responsibilities are being presented. This might include the organization's mission, goals, and objectives.

Roles: Define and describe each role within the organization or project, specifying job titles, positions, or functional areas. Consider using visual aids like organizational charts to illustrate the hierarchy.

Responsibilities: For each role, clearly outline their primary responsibilities and duties, typically in the form of bullet points or concise sentences.

Interactions and collaborations: Explain how these roles interact and collaborate with one another. Highlight key touchpoints and dependencies between roles.

Examples or case studies: Use real-world examples or case studies to make the roles and responsibilities more concrete, enabling the audience to grasp their practical implications.

Accountability and authority: Clarify the level of authority and accountability associated with each role. Mention reporting structures or relevant hierarchies.

Challenges and problem-solving: Address potential challenges or conflicts that may arise due to overlapping or unclear responsibilities. Offer practical solutions or strategies to resolve these issues.

Training and development: If relevant, discuss how individuals can develop the skills and knowledge required for their roles. Share information about available training programs or resources.

Communication and feedback: Explain how communication flows within the organization or project and the significance of feedback loops for role improvement.

Expectations and performance metrics: Detail the expectations and performance metrics associated with each role, emphasizing the criteria used to evaluate each role's success.

Q&A session: Invite questions from the audience, encouraging them to seek clarification or additional information.

Conclusion: Summarize the key points you've covered, reinforcing the importance of clear roles and responsibilities within the organization or project.

Next steps: Discuss what actions will follow this presentation, such as when the defined roles and responsibilities will be implemented or reviewed.

Thank you slide: End with a slide expressing gratitude to your audience for their time and attention.

Appendix (if necessary): If there's additional data, charts, documents, or supplementary information, provide these in an appendix for reference.

In your presentation, make use of visuals and graphics to aid understanding. Keep the content concise, engaging, and well-organized, and practice your delivery to ensure a smooth and confident presentation.

Do’s and don'ts on a roles and responsibilities presentation

To make sure your roles and responsibilities presentation is top-notch, here are some do's and don'ts to keep in mind:

• Use templates : Templates ensure consistency and a professional look.
• Be concise : Keep your content clear and to the point.
• Incorporate visuals : Visual aids enhance understanding.
• Emphasize clarity : Make sure everyone understands their roles.

Do you have a big presentation to the C-Suite coming up? Use these executive presentation tips to deliver an attention-getting presentation. Keeps top execs engaged and interested.

It happens. You prep all night for an executive presentation, then it doesn't go as smoothly as it did in your head. It's not flowing, and you feel like your audience is kind of bored. 

To prevent your audience from saying " thank you; next ," you'll need to  up your presentation game.

This tutorial will show you how to present a presentation to senior management so you can keep their attention. You'll also see some of the best executive presentation formats and management presentation samples from Envato Elements and GraphicRiver.

And at a price that suits your budget.

If you're preparing an executive presentation in PPT, you want it to be the best it can be. Read on for tips on presenting to senior management and other executives.

15+ Tips for Better Executive Presentations (+ Expert Advice)

Are you planning on presenting recommendations to senior management? Use the following tips to create more effective executive presentations:  

1. Research Your Audience

When preparing for a presentation to senior management, a little research goes a long way. A good place to start is LinkedIn. Because it's business-oriented, LinkedIn can help you find the interests and background of the executives you'll be presenting to . You may be presenting to a group, but they're all individuals with different roles and focuses. 

For example, when presenting recommendations to senior management, know that the data you'll present to the CFO might not interest the CMO, and vice versa. Some people might be passionate about a particular topic or turned off by it. And some of your recommendations may have bigger implications for some departments than others.  Researching your audience as individuals helps you tailor your executive presentation to them.

Author and public speaker Pamela Hilliard Owens suggests:

"After you have been awarded the presentation opportunity, take the time to visit the company’s website and research the bios of each person who will be in your audience. Pay particular attention to the person’s title and position in the company as well as to what is important to them. If possible, try to get to know the person by name and title so that you can address them and/or their top issues or concerns as you prepare and present your topic."

"There’s no excuse to skip audience research.  It only takes one or two targeted examples to turn your presentation into a personal experience. Leverage the hobbies and interests of your audience to select examples which support your message."

2. Research the Niche

Sometimes it's as important to understand the niche you're presenting in as the audience. Mitch Mitchell, President and CEO of T.T. Mitchell Consulting , says:

"Audience research is important if you're addressing people with certain skills that might be out of the norm. For instance, if you're addressing an audience of nurses and medical people, it helps to know something in regards to how they work and what they deal with. The same goes for teachers. Depending on the presentation, I might not do audience research for most industries, but I might do market research on the topic so the presentation would be pertinent."

3. Prime the Audience

Andy Crestodina, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Orbit Media Studios , who gives 100+ presentations a year, says prepping your audience in advance is a good way to ensure your presentation is well-received:

"The key to a great presentation is to prime the audience. Make sure everyone knows the point of the presentation. State the goal of the meeting up front, in the meeting invite and on the first slide.  Make sure each point is concise. If you’re using a deck, limit it to only one idea per slide.  Never read slides. They’re there to support you, not replace you.  If there are deeper details, keep them in your back pocket (often at the end of a deck) and be ready to show them if necessary.  If there are likely dissenters, discuss things with them prior to the presentation. If you get surprising, negative feedback during a presentation, you likely didn’t prep that person well enough in advance!"

4. Tailor Your Presentation to Your Audience

Research your audience and niche. Then use that information to create a stellar presentation that meets their needs. Author, speaker and trainer Amma Marfo says:

"The key for clear communication with senior management is speaking in a language that they understand. So, as an expert on the topic at hand, consider filtering it through their lens. Are they primed to be moved by strong statistics? Make sure that you have quantitative proof of impact. If they’re convinced a given issue doesn’t exist? Come prepared with testimonials from impacted parties. Take note of not just what you want to share, but how they want to hear it."

"When I prepare to present to a company or organization, I make sure to spend time with organizers going over the context in which I’ll be speaking. What organizational issues might impact how people hear me when I arrive? How might people feel about this topic, and will it be an uphill climb for me to educate them on this? Without that context, I may be successful in delivering a talk, but I’ll have no idea if I can be impactful."

5. Project Confidence

When presenting data to executives, how you appear is almost as important as the data itself. That's why it's good to project the right body language . If you slouch, seem stressed, and don't look at your audience, then you'll wind up alienating them. Your presentation will seem boring, even if it really isn't.

But, when you look confident, have a relaxed demeanor, and make eye contact, it makes your audience more interested in what you've got to say. Check out our article on the importance of body language in presentations for more tips on using body language to win over your audience.

Nicole Fende has two unusual, but attention-getting, tips for projecting confidence as a presenter, by using lightsabers (yes, really!) and improv:

"I own 8 (yes 8!) movie replica lightsabers and often ask my clients to hold one.  Even people who’ve never seen Star Wars will stand straighter and carry themselves with more confidence.  Find your touchstone and hold it while you rehearse or right before your presentation. Please note, I do not recommend taking the lightsaber into your presentation unless George Lucas will be there. When things go wrong the key is riding out the moment calmly.  Improv teaches you how to handle even the craziest of scenarios and keep going. Improv has improved my presentation skills exponentially."

6. Lead With the Summary

The term "executive summary" exists for a reason. It's a good way to think of the starting point for executive presentations. 

The ideal executive presentation format is to lead with a summary of the key facts they need to know on the first slide. This helps focus their attention and create interest. When you get straight to the point, they'll know they're not wasting their time—and you're not wasting it, either. Here's a high level executive summary PowerPoint example using the Business PowerPoint template from Envato Elements:

It's ideal for busy execs who've dashed into your presentation at the last minute. This approach tells them why they're there and why they need to pay attention. Andy Crestodina agrees with this advice, but says it's useful for all presentations:

"The “executive summary” is important for the C-suite audience and anyone else. The reason is simple: people are not good listeners until they know that they are being listened to. If you do too much talking up front, the listener will gradually grow uncomfortable as they wait to give their input.  If you begin with a summary and then sit back and listen, you’ll quickly learn if there is support or objections. Then you can focus on those points as you continue the presentation.  With this approach, the presentation adapted for the audience as you go. It isn’t a monolog, it’s a dialog. That is the goal. It should feel more like a conversation. Most people would rather have a conversation than sit through a presentation."

Mitch Mitchell suggests that whether you need a summary for an executive presentation depends on the audience's knowledge:

"I think it depends on what the audience may or may not know about the presentation up front. For instance, if they're unsure of the topic of the presentation, a summary would be prudent to hopefully get their attention. If they know what the topic is going to be then a summary might not be needed in a normal sense; an outline will do."

After the summary, expand on your key points . Even busy execs who can't stick around for the whole presentation will get the most important information. Once you're past the summary slide, then keep it simple. Explain the situation, offer a solution, and explain the benefits of that solution, with relevant supporting information and data.

7. Make Your Presentation Flow

One of the best executive presentation tips I can share is to make your presentation flow by arranging information in a logical order . Once you've done your executive summary, then the slides that follow should outline the context. Cover those main points in order. 

While you're presenting, guide your audience to the key parts of your slides they should look at. Remember, while you're presenting, you're in charge.

8. Keep Your Executive Presentation on Topic

For an executive presentation, you may have to talk about business goals and values, business risks and opportunities. Do a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. Learn more about creating and SWOT analysis slides here:

Whatever your subject, the key thing when creating presentations for executives is to stay on topic. If you don't, your audience will lose interest fast. Use your presentation speaker notes to help you keep your presentation relevant.

9. Have a Single End Goal

When presenting recommendations to senior management, it's important to have a goal. Before you start, know what key recommendation you're leading to. Mention this in the executive summary. Then present the evidence to make a compelling rationale for your key takeaway.

10. Include Relevant Statistics

If you want to grab—and hold—the attention of the C-Suite, wow them with data. Using the right stats will make your executive presentations more compelling. Stats can also support the recommendations you make. One tip: check and double check your stats before you make your executive presentation.  A single error could undermine the validity of your whole pitch. 

Andy Crestodina advises:

"People want to believe we are rational decision makers, even when it’s not the case. Statistics and data appeal to that rational part of the mind, letting decision makers feel like they are using data to make a good decision. But mostly, they help people rationalize the choices they have already mostly made. They are visual triggers for the confirmation bias. To make them more effective in this role, make the analysis and conclusion obvious. Don’t show a spreadsheet. Show a simple chart with the analysis added so the point is 100% obvious.  For example, if I was looking for support to create more long form content, I would show the trend data, but highlight the conclusion."

11. Present Data So It Gets Attention

When presenting data, it's important to remember that the figures tell a story. You want that story to be as clear as possible. Here are some tips to help you achieve that:

• Decide on the right chart type for the data you're presenting. Whether you use bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, Venn diagrams or another chart type will depend on the data you've got to present.
• Avoid clutter as this can make data hard to read.
• Use color wisely to help viewers distinguish among data points.
• Ensure chart labeling is clear and helpful.

Nicole Fende recommends adding an interactive element to data presentation:

"Turn dry into compelling with an interactive presentation.  I will have people take out a coin, pick heads or tails, and flip it. If you chose correctly – congrats you’ve picked a successful company to copy. If your choice didn’t land – too bad, you’re following someone else right into failure. I use this to illustrate the risk in blindly copying another company’s pricing, policies, product offerings, strategy, etc.  It evokes emotion and involves three senses – visual, auditory, and touch."

Using executive presentation templates can also make your data stand out. Here's a high level presentation example, using the Sigma PowerPoint template , of how a small design tweak can make a big difference. In the first slide, all the bars are the same color. The audience is forced to check each line to figure out the percentages.

Look at the difference below! In the second chart, the addition of percentage labeling, and color contrast makes the data much easier to understand.

12. Pay Attention to Slide Design

An important part of making your management presentation appealing is having well-designed slides with a coherent visual identity. Unless you're confident about your graphic design skills, consider getting a premade management presentation sample or template. This will save time on the design elements of your presentation. You can have the confidence that it'll look great. Pamela Hilliard Owens advises:

"If you think people are getting tired of Zoom calls, they are really tired of PowerPoint slides! When designing your slides, ensure that you, and not your slides, are the star of the show. Add only 2 or 3 bullet points to each slide, and use them only as an outline for your presentation. Remind your audience that they will receive a printout of the slides, so they won’t need to take notes. That way they can focus primarily on you and what you are saying, instead of focusing on reading the slides and writing while you are speaking." 

13. Watch Your Language

When preparing your presentation slides, pay attention to the words you use, and how you use them. Avoid unnecessary jargon —when people don't understand it, that's a major turnoff. And keep slide text short and focused on the essentials. That gives people time to read it and avoids an off-putting wall of text.

Here's an example, using the Sepi business PowerPoint theme . On the first slide, there's a chunk of text, which most people will find hard to read.

The second slide is better, extracting the key points and putting them in bullet point form.

14. Get Your Timing Right

It's worth repeating that it pays to keep executive presentations short and focused. Don't make the mistake of creating a presentation that fills your whole time slot. If there's one thing you can count on, it's interruptions from your audience.

Allow for that in advance by making your presentation shorter than the allotted time. Plan for questions and interruptions. For time-crunched execs, a presentation that finishes early while still providing value is a bonus.

That said, you don't want to finish so early they feel short-changed. Amma Marfo recalls learning a lesson about presentation timing:

"Sometimes this is awkward for people, but practice, practice, practice. I made this mistake early in my speaking career - assuming there’d be longer periods for engagement and question, I finished what I thought would be an hourlong presentation…in twelve minutes. Now, when I put together a session on a new topic, I test it out - you can do this alone with a timer, or with a small group of trusted colleagues to simulate any interactive parts of the presentation for you."

15. Expect the Unexpected

Speaking of questions, there's no telling what those execs might ask. It's wise to prepare for the unexpected and do some research around your presentation topic . That'll help you be ready for any questions that come out of left field. 

That also goes for any data you include. Identify areas where people are likely to ask questions and have extra supporting data to help answer them.

Every now and then, you'll get a completely unexpected question. Don't panic. If you don't know the answer immediately, don't be afraid to say so. Just promise to check your facts and get back to the questioner with the answer in a short time. 

16. Practice in Advance

When it comes to delivering the perfect executive presentation, practice makes perfect. Run through your executive slide deck as many times as it takes to know your material inside out. Have a mental picture of where the supporting information is for each of your main points. That'll help you find it quickly if someone asks a specific question. Mitch Mitchell comments:

"I've always over-prepared. I put together an outline, I make sure I know all the answers to everything I want to talk about, then I rehearse upwards of 5-7 times to get the timing correct. The worst thing is to come across as unprepared or unprofessional; no one likes being rambled at." 

Pamela Hilliard Owens agrees:

"Practice, practice, practice, and be yourself. You were hired for your experience, your expertise, your personality, and your ability to relate to your audience. As you prepare your presentation, put yourself in the shoes and minds of your audience. Ask yourself: What are my goals for this presentation? Do my goals match the goals of the person/group to whom I am presenting? What are the specific “takeaways” I want for my audience? Am I speaking so that the people in my audience actually want to hear what I am saying?"

17. Step Away From the Podium

Don't be afraid to move away from the PowerPoint presentation and use a whiteboard to illustrate a key point. Switching up maintains interest and shows you know your stuff. It makes for an appealing presentation.

A management presentation is a document or slide deck prepared by your company’s management to present to key stakeholders like board members or potential buyers. It typically covers high-level information, such as financials, strategy and performance data.

These presentations provide an excellent opportunity for managers to showcase their expertise, leadership capabilities and strategic foresight. They also prove to stakeholders why they should be trusted to steer the organization towards success.

Key Components of a Management Presentation

Here are some of the key components of a management presentation:

• Agenda. Create an agenda slide that lists the main topics or sections you’re going to cover in your presentation, similar to a table of contents.
• Company Overview. Provide a brief history of your company, including the mission statement, core values, and key milestones and achievements.
• Organizational Structure and Team. Provide an overview of your company's organizational structure and introduce your management team and their roles within the company.
• Product or Service Offerings. Share a brief overview of your company's products or services and highlight their unique selling points and competitive advantages.

• Risk Analysis. Identify potential risks and challenges your company faces and discuss strategies to overcome those challenges.
• Future Projections. Outline your company's vision for future growth, including strategic partnerships, new market expansions, product innovations, operational improvements and financial forecasts.

A management presentation is primarily used to communicate important information to stakeholders. But these presentations have other use cases too:

• Facilitate Decision-Making: Management presentations enable stakeholders to make informed decisions about the company's future direction, investments and resource allocation by sharing relevant data and insights with them.
• Highlight Achievements and Milestones. Sharing your company's progress toward its goals helps boost employee and stakeholder morale, motivation and confidence.
• Identify and Mitigate Risks. A management presentation breaks down potential risks and challenges faced by the organization and presents strategies for overcoming those problems.
• Build Trust and Credibility. Build trust with stakeholders by providing transparent, accurate and reliable information, and demonstrating your team’s skills, competence and strategic vision to guide the company toward its goals.
• Demonstrate Financial Health. Reassure stakeholders of your company’s growth potential by providing them with a clear picture of the company's financial performance and future projections.

Management presentations can impact your company’s future, which is why it’s important to make them count. Starting with a template can ensure you’re covering the right sections, have a solid design and layout in place, and save you valuable time.

Creating and delivering a successful management presentation requires thorough preparation, effective communication skills and a clear understanding of your audience.

Here are a few useful tips to consider:

How to Prepare a Management Presentation

• Understand Your Audience. Take time to research and analyze your audience—their background, knowledge level and expectations, and tailor your content accordingly.
• Clearly Define Your Objectives. Identify key goals and takeaways you want your audience to have after your presentation. Reinforce these key points throughout your presentation.
• Gather and Analyze Relevant Data. Collect reliable data that supports your points and strengthens your arguments. Present your findings in a way that's easy to understand by everyone.
• Rehearse What You're Going to Say. Practice and rehearse your presentation over and over again to familiarize yourself with the content and improve your delivery. Pay close attention to your pacing, tone and body language to maximize the impact of your presentation.
• Dress Smartly. Dress according to the audience and setting of your presentation. This will help boost your confidence and create a positive first impression.

How to Present a Management Presentation

• Open Strong. Capture your audience's attention from the get-go with a funny one-liner, an image or a video, a personal story, or a shocking statistic. This will set the tone for the rest of the presentation and establish the importance of your topic.
• Use Storytelling Techniques. Use real-life examples, case studies, or anecdotes to make your points more relatable and memorable.
• Communicate Effectively. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace to keep your audience engaged. Maintain eye contact to reel them in the conversation.
• Interact with Your Audience. Ask questions, encourage participation and seek feedback to keep your audience involved.
• Use Visual Aids. Incorporate icons, photos, videos and charts and graphs to break the monotony, simplify complex information and make the presentation more compelling.
• Apply the 10-20-30 Rule. Aim for 10 slides for a 20-minute presentation, using a 30-point font size for readability. This rule ensures your slides are to the point, visually appealing and easy to follow.
• End on a High. Close your presentations with a summary that reinforces key points.

Management Presentation Mistakes to Avoid

• Overloading Slides. Avoid cluttering slides with too much information, as this can overwhelm your audience and detract from your main message. Keep slides simple and focused on key points to maintain audience attention.
• Using Jargon. Using technical terms and industry-specific jargon might confuse your audience. Use simple language to ensure everyone is on the same page.
• Reading from Slides. Reading text directly from your slides can disengage your audience. Instead, use them as prompts to elaborate on your points.
• Neglecting Visual Aids . Failing to incorporate visual elements such as images, icons and charts and graphs can make your presentation less engaging. Use visuals to break up text, illustrate key concepts and keep your audience interested.
• Lacking Enthusiasm. Presenting with a dull tone or a disengaged demeanor can cause your audience to lose interest quickly. Maintain a positive, energetic presence throughout your presentation to keep your audience engaged.
• Ending Abruptly. Failing to properly end your presentation is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Summarize key points and be open to questions.

Managers can create several types of business presentations depending on the audience and objectives. Here are 12 management presentation ideas to consider:

• Company overview (history, vision, mission and values)
• Organizational performance and growth
• Product or service offerings (pricing, roadmap, USPs and distribution strategy)
• Customer segmentation and target market
• HR, employee engagement and talent management
• Change management
• Marketing and brand strategy
• Financial performance and projections
• CSR and sustainability initiatives
• Strategic alliances and partnerships
• Risk assessment
• Tech adoption and digital transformation

How to Successfully Present to a Higher-up at Work (Without Freaking Out)

A business idea pops into your head. It’s a good one—solid enough for you to summarize and run up the chain of command. A few weeks go by, and you nearly forgot about it—that is, until your manager informs you that you’re on the agenda to present your idea — to the CEO .

Minutes later, you’re having a mini-meltdown, imagining the worst-case scenario in which you humiliate yourself in front of the company head during the one face-time opportunity you’ve had since you got the job.

Presenting to a C-suite executive or senior manager, especially when you’re entry-level or somewhere in the middle, requires a different set of skills compared to run-of-the-mill speaking presentations. Because the roles of these high-level staff are quite different than the mid-level managers you may be used to working with, their objectives, communication styles, and decision-making methods are going to be distinct as well.

But whether you’re pitching an idea for a new product, process, or other special initiative, you’ve got this. All you need is some solid preparation and a few adjustments to your usual delivery style.

I turned to two C-suite executives for guidance on how to pull off this next-level career move like a rockstar. Here are their top seven lessons:

1. Know What You’re Asking For

What’s your goal? Is it to get the executive’s support? Will you need her advice, expertise, resources, or influence to make your idea a reality? Whatever the case, Anne Cooney, President of Process Industries and Drives at Siemens, advises being specific about how the leader can support your success. Cooney explains, “If you’re just providing [her] with information or an update,” says Cooney, make that clear.

But if you have a bigger ask, don’t shy away from explaining what’s involved. Whatever your goal is, be direct on whether you need her to take action or simply give her approval.

2. Make it Relevant

Before you begin preparing slides, recommends Cooney, take time to understand the executive’s role, interests, and level. For example, it may be relevant to understand that while your CEO can greenlight your project, the COO approves new equipment investments, the CFO advises on whether the purchase should take place this quarter, and then the VP signs the purchase order, which indicates there’re often a lot of wheels that need to be in motion for something to happen.

Research each executive’s role and responsibilities before preparing your pitch. Says Cooney, “Make sure the information you share has an impact on the leader’s scope of responsibility.”

3. Inform But Don’t Overwhelm

So what is the best method for being informative without overwhelming a high-level exec? I asked Ann Finkner, Senior Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer with Farm Credit Services of America, this very question. “Executives have varying needs for information,” she told me. “You may have one executive who wants more detail,” while maybe another “prefers a different way of receiving updates.”

Find out what you can expect by speaking with people who know the person well. Ask the assistant and direct reports about the boss’ preferred presentation format, methods of communication, and decision-making style . Does he prefer a detailed plan or executive summary? Will he ask questions throughout or wait until the end? Craft your approach with knowledge you glean about the leader’s management style before you go in.

4. Cut Your Time in Half

“Time is so precious to all of us,” says Finkner, emphasizing the importance of communicating your idea concisely. Executives, who are accustomed to people vying for their attention, tend to lead highly scheduled lives. Your meeting, though your most important priority, is undoubtedly just one of many things going on in the higher-up’s day.

Which brings to me to my next point: If he or she is running late, roll with it—there’s probably a good reason. Even if the meeting starts on time, it’s highly likely that you’ll get cut short, so be prepared to deal with an abbreviated agenda. Your goal should be to pitch the idea and leave time for discussion and questions.

5. Be Mindful of the Idea’s Impact

Being aware of how your idea might affect the company at large is essential. It’s also an often-forgotten element of a thorough presentation. As part of your preparation, consider what will change as a result of what you’re proposing. If it’s going to require significant changes in how your organization does business, be sure to address this head on. Will a colleague feel snubbed if it’s your innovative plan that’s accepted and not hers? Will forming a new team require recruiting employees from an existing one? Will a certain department be slapped with a ton more responsibilities?

Explains Finkner, “Don’t leave ‘human casualties’ behind that the executive then has to address on your behalf.” Include your plan for incorporating team members and dividing the workload. Demonstrate that you’ve done your homework.

6. Include Recommendations and Options

When it comes to the crux of what you’re saying—asking an exec to give your idea his blessing or help your team implement it, you should be ready with recommendations on how he can help you get it done. Present options, suggests Cooney. Articulate what will happen if your proposal gets approved, and be prepared to compromise.

“If you give a recommendation or you have a specific conclusion that you'd like to reach, be passionate about it but also be open to modifications or clarification,” Cooney encourages. Always be willing to negotiate.

7. Don’t Be Intimidated

Whatever you do, don’t let your nerves get in the way of this opportunity. The level and tenure of a senior person shouldn’t make you feel like an imposter . “Differentiate between the title and the person,” says Cooney, adding that company founders and leaders “are not better people.” The job they’re doing is different, but, Cooney reiterates, that doesn’t make them “better people. Don’t let anybody convince you otherwise.”

Finkner’s parting advice closely follows Cooney’s: “Have faith in yourself. Take care of yourself and foster genuine relationships while you keep learning.” It’s normal to feel some trepidation about giving a high-stakes presentation to an influential audience—heck, or any presentation to any audience—but know that just being brave enough to do it is an accomplishment . Even a failed pitch is a win when you look at it this way, so go for it!

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

• Carmine Gallo

Five tips to set yourself apart.

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

The Responsibilities and Role of a Manager

• The Manager’s Role in the Organization

What Responsibilities Do Managers Have?

Types of managers, span of control, authority of the manager, what essential skills do managers need, a career in management.

Managers shape the culture of their teams and workplaces in countless ways. They have to play both an administrative and leadership role. And they require a diverse set of skills to be successful. But what exactly does a manager do? These are the fundamental requirements of the manager's job and why these skills are critical for success in today’s organizations. Management continues to be a viable career option.

Manager responsibilities most often revolve around a particular function or department within an organization. They either lead a specific team or a group of supervisors who oversee teams of employees. Critical management qualities include communication, collaboration, critical thinking, project management, and more.

The Manager’s Role Inside the Organization

Organizations are hierarchies of titles . The organizational chart, or structure of the company and the relationships between jobs and responsibilities, from the top down, may include the CEO, vice president, director, and then manager. Each of these people performs separate and critical functions, enabling the organization to function, meet its obligations, and turn a profit.

The higher you climb in the organization’s ranks, the further away you move from the day-to-day operations and work of the firm’s employees. While the CEO and vice presidents focus more of their efforts on issues of strategy, investment, and overall coordination, managers are directly involved with the individuals serving customers, producing and selling the firm’s goods or services, and providing internal support to other groups.

Additionally, the manager acts as a bridge from senior management for translating higher-level strategies and goals into operating plans that drive the business. In that position, the manager is accountable to senior executives for performance and to front-line employees for guidance, motivation, and support. It is common for managers to feel as if they are pulled between the demands of top leaders and the needs of the individuals performing the work of the firm. 

Have you ever witnessed the "plate spinner" at the circus? This performer places a breakable dinner plate on a stick and starts it spinning. The entertainer repeats this task a dozen or more times, then runs around striving to keep all of the plates spinning without letting any crash to the floor.

On many occasions, the role of a manager feels a great deal like this plate spinner. The manager’s functions are many and varied, including:

• Hiring and staffing
• Training new employees
• Coaching and developing existing employees
• Dealing with performance problems and terminations
• Supporting problem resolution and decision-making
• Conducting timely performance evaluations
• Translating corporate goals into functional and individual goals
• Monitoring performance and initiating action to strengthen results
• Monitoring and controlling expenses and budgets
• Tracking and reporting scorecard results to senior management
• Planning and goal-setting for future periods

The daily work of the manager is filled with one-on-one or group interactions focused on operations. Many managers use early mornings or later evenings to complete their reports, catch up on emails, and update their task lists. There is never a dull moment, much less time for quiet contemplation, in the lives of most managers. 

Managers are most often responsible for a particular function or department within the organization. From accounting to marketing to sales, customer support, engineering, quality, and all other groups, a manager either directly leads his or her team or leads a group of supervisors who oversee teams of employees. 

In addition to the traditional role of departmental or functional manager, or what is generally known as a line manager, there are also product and project managers who are responsible for a set of activities or initiatives, often without any people reporting to them. These informal managers work across functions and recruit team members from various groups for temporary and unique initiatives. 

The phrase “span of control” relates to the number of individuals who report directly to any particular manager. Various trends have existed over the years, but the current approach to creating a proper span of control in an organization involves an analysis of what the organization and its employees need.

When you think about the span of control, a small number of direct reports creates a narrow span of control and a hierarchical structure in which decision-making frequently resides at the top of the organization. Narrow spans of control are more expensive, but they allow managers to have more time to interact with direct reports. They also tend to encourage professional growth and employee advancement because the manager knows the employees well and has time to spend with them individually.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management, a broad span of control indicates a manager oversees a greater number of direct reports, resulting in a "flat" organizational structure. While this structure can potentially overwhelm managers with increased interactions, it also fosters greater autonomy among team members.

In summary, a manager optimally has no more than six to eight direct reports, although many have ten or even 20 individuals they are responsible for daily. A smaller span of control enables increased support for training, coaching, and development. The larger span reduces the manager’s ability to support their direct reports but also allows for greater employee autonomy.

A manager may have the power to hire, fire, discipline, or promote employees, especially in smaller organizations, with the assistance of the human resources staff. In larger companies, a manager may only recommend such action to the next level of management. The manager has the authority to change the work assignments of team members in both large and small organizations.

Managers need to develop and hone the following skills:

A manager has to be able to set priorities and motivate your team members. This involves self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The manager needs to radiate energy, empathy, and trust. And, remember that effective leaders work daily to develop team members through positive, constructive feedback and coaching. 

Communication

The manager must become a student of effective communication in all of its applications, including one-on-one, small groups, large groups, email, remote working, and social media. Good managers realize that the most important aspect of communicating is listening.

Collaboration

The manager serves as a role model for working together. You support cross-functional efforts and model collaborative behaviors to set an example for your team members. 

Critical Thinking

The manager strives to understand where and how your projects fit into the bigger picture to enhance your effectiveness. The manager reviews priorities in light of larger organizational goals. He or she translates this understanding into meaningful goals and objectives for their team members who need to understand where their work fits in the big picture.

A manager needs to learn the language of numbers. Managers must strive to understand how company funds are invested and ensure these investments earn a good return for the firm. While you don't need to be an accountant to be a manager, you must learn and apply the basics of solid financial understanding. For example, how many employees can produce the most quality product for the least cost?

Project Management

Nearly every initiative in an organization turns into a project. And, projects can become complex and unwieldy. Today’s managers understand and leverage formal project management practices to ensure timely completion and proper control of initiatives. 

The work of management is divided into the activities around planning, leading, organizing, and controlling, and the job of a manager encompasses all of these areas. Anyone aspiring to move into management as a career should develop and display strong technical and functional skills. Become an expert in your discipline, and have a strong affinity for interacting with, supporting, and guiding others. 

The Bottom Line

The best managers understand that their role is about their team and its performance and not about themselves. They work hard to develop the skills identified above and take great satisfaction in the successes of their team members. Do this effectively at a lower level and others will recognize your value and strive to increase your responsibilities over time. Management as a career is simultaneously challenging and exciting.
