Case: Prepare your three-minute leadership speech.
You can assume one of the following scenarios for your speech. If you wish, you can do another realistic scenario based on your organization, your past experiences or upcoming events. I am just giving you some ideas to get you thinking of what you could do, but you are welcome to give the speech a more personal touch. Please use a realistic scenario and realistic names. Please craft your speech carefully as you will be asked to keep to its main parts when you redeliver the speech later in the course.
Imagine that you are a manager of a division of a local or state government organization:
Scenario 1: One of your managers is underperforming. You are pulling him/her in to give them a "pep" talk and put him/her back on track. Prepare a three-minute speech, where you lay it out.
Scenario 2: The launch of a new citizen outreach service program has been a disaster. You are addressing your team with the goal of turning around the situation. Prepare a three-minute speech, where you explain your thinking.
Scenario 3: The city manager wants to transfer you to another division. You have much to do still in your current division and cannot imagine leaving; try to convince your boss to not transfer you. Prepare a three-minute speech, where you inform your boss of your position.
Scenario 4: Because of economic justifications, you have to relocate with your team to another location that is 100km away. Prepare a speech to convince them.
