As they lead their juniors to accomplish the goals of their organizations, managers have a very important role to play. They make sure that the available resources are utilized as efficiently as possible to accomplish every objective. But there are other things that these leaders do not necessarily have to know. Like speaking; managers do not necessarily make the best management speakers because of a number of things.
Public speaking is in most cases an inborn trait but can also be a cultivated art. While others may take up classes to train as speakers, it might not come out as it would a person who possesses the art naturally. A person may start working for a particular organization at a lower level but rise with time to become the manager. He might not have had the chance to practice his speaking skills before.
This kind of speaking requires a management speaker to be well versed in management practices that are applicable in a given field. If he has been a leader in a company that is forever in a downward tumble, the audience may have misgivings on his ability to deliver the best ideas. If he cannot do it in his own company, it would be hard to expect others to listen to his ideas. This brings about the issue of preaching water and drinking wine.
Managers are not necessarily fluent in getting a point across. They may be good at planning or organizing their staff but when it comes to talks, they fail miserably. This is driven by the fact that the planning or organizing in their companies requires the input of other people like middle level managers and even supervisors. This combining of brains gives out good results but it is usually the manager who gets all the credit. He would find it hard to get such results on a speaking forum.
Most bosses are used to ordering everybody under them. This yelling and talking down to everybody is a recipe for disaster. A leadership audience is a very tricky one that calls for the speaker to come down to their level to be able to communicate well. He will more than likely not tone down his ego when addressing them. This brings out their lack of proper communication skills.
Being a puppet manager is what most bosses are. They have everything done for them. From planning appointments to scheduling board meetings, there are assistants who answer to their every whim. He is the boss yes, but he is practically absent from what goes on in his firm. His work of planning and controlling is handled by other people. He therefore has management skills little to offer as a speaker.
In the current world, it is common thing for a person with different education credentials than those of director to get hired to run an organization as a manager. The audience may feel short-changed and would feel denied a chance to get real leadership talk.
Granted, managers are not the most observant of people. Knowing what a particular audience wants requires that a person gets down to their level through talking to them, asking them questions like how they would love the seminar conducted. Real management speakers are known to drop to these lows.
