Improve Your Delegating With These Tips
In my experience, staff are promoted into leadership roles and then develop them once there. This is despite the fact that a better
approach is to give them the tools to do the job first and then promote them into the role once equipped. In the first scenario, the
new leader is left unsupported and drowning. Newly promoted leaders often feel they must prove themselves by achieving a lot in their
first year. However, they risk burn-out if they try to do it all themselves. A sign of a great leader is one who is confident enough
to delegate effectively.

When we talk about presenters in this book, we are referring to people who want to drive action. In business, this is often the

contribute great ideas to a project, or learn something new and therefore become a better, more productive employee, presentation
management strategy will raise everyone’s ability to present better, to act better. Presentation management is empowering because

Reset, Export, and Import Ribbon Customizations
PowerPoint 2016 allows you to customize the Ribbon in a number of ways. You can add Ribbon tabs, add Groups, and populate these with
commands. And if you think you made a mess and were better off with the defaults, then you can always get back to square one. On a
more positive front, you can share your customizations with friends and colleagues, or also your other computers. And you can export
your customizations to a file saved as a backup for a rainy day!

Start or Restart Numbering for Lists
Imagine that you have a long numbered list that forms the content within your PowerPoint slide. Now, it is not uncommon for
slides to have numbered lists that comprise twenty lines, and that is singularly unfortunate because even if members of your
audience have perfect eyesight, they won't be able to read the teeny-weeny sized text! And let us face the fact that too much
text is downright boring, and nowadays any sort of bulleted or numbered lists seem to signify a poorly designed slide. One
approach you can take to combat this problem is by dividing your list across multiple slides.
Add Headers and Footers to Notes and Handout Pages
Unlike the slides which are primarily presented through a display device such as a monitor, TV screen or projector, the Notes
and Handout pages in PowerPoint are essentially intended for printing. In this tutorial, we will explore how you can add Headers
and Footers to make your printed Notes and Handout pages more professional-looking and useful.
