Help needed for a presentation for an interview

[Maverick007]

Hi all

I have a 2nd interview next week for a company who are requiring a 30 min presentation, and never having done one of these i wondered if anyone can help me out a bit...

It's in two parts:


Outline your plan to integrate and lead the existing team in the regional office

Outline a plan for the geographical expansion of the regional office

I think i'm OK ish on the 2nd part but i'm after a bit of advice on the first bit (and if anyone has done a presentation on the 2nd part that would be great too!)

The office has around 12 staff and is an employment agency so any ideas on how you would integrate with an existing team of people and lead that team would be much appreciated.

With respect, they are interviewing you. Not PH. If you don't have a good opinion on these there's a good chance you're not the person they're looking for.

Yes i do appreciate that!

But someone on here may have had a similar topic to present on which was received well so i thought i'd at least ask

You need to work out what you want to present.

Once you've decided that then there are plenty of people who can help with the "how to present it."

The best advice I can give is that you can't present on those topics without having done the research first.

If I was interviewing someone and (for some odd reason) I asked them to do me a presentation on how they would lead one of the existing teams I would be quite concerned if they rocked up and produced a presentation saying "I will do X and Y", having never met the team members. Okay if they did a presentation that said "On Day 1 I would talk to people and find out what motivates each of them; look at the environment and competitors; review the processes". But that would not take half an hour without a lot of padding.

I'd be worried about a firm that just wants to parachute someone in. It suggests there may be a culture of "We don't know what's wrong, get someone in from outside and expect them to magic a fix". Rinse and repeat every year or two ...

Blind them with business jargon that should do the trick.

How will you quickly establish the teams strengths, weaknesses and personality traits? Then build on these to lead the team to success and world domination or at least regional domination?

Part a leads into part b doesn’t it? 10 mins on a 15 mins on b job done.

Message me via PH, will talk you through some ideas.

I've done what is being asked of you.

Most here are missing the context of course. If there are 12 employees in one office why do they need integrating? Are they not a team already?

What are the issues at hand that need addressing?

i think the team are already integrated. i think what it means is how would i integrate with them as an outsider coming in to manage them
