This book was required for a class I was taking. It did the job.

This handy volume works well for up and coming new managers and CEO’s. Improving internal communication is the most common assignment for management consultants. Munter and Russell provide an easy to follow, step by step guide to more effective presentation. They focus on communicating ideas not impressing the audience with Power Point gimmicks. I have used it for government clients, non-profit organizations and for-profit businesses and it works equally well for all three sectors. I have taken their advice for my own graduate school teaching and my students have commented on the clarity of my slides.

Recently purchased this book as it was required reading for a MBA-level business communications class… Skip it. There’s an entire section on the benefit of white space in Power Point slides. The majority of this book is intuitive – and what’s not is available for free online.

If you’re still in college and you want to know how to create readable, clear, interesting presentations then this book is for you. It’s also great to give someone on your team who may be trying to cram 8pt typeface onto all their PowerPoints. The best parts of the book describe how to lay out presentation slides for easy readability. However, if you’ve taken a Speech class, most of the “public speaking” sections of the book will not be news to you.
