Rethinking Power Point Presentations

Dinesh Paliwal, CEO of Harman International Industries, shared his philosophy on slideshows with the New York Times:

"Whenever you're going to talk to investors, to management, to the board, or at quarterly meetings, [you should] write your presentation first. It may be five or six pages. Then [make it] one page. Then [make it] half a page. If you can't explain it to me without slides, you haven't understood the issue."

A very good point. 
If you have 10 slides, you probably should have two (or zero).
