Question

1. One study found that the top predictor of success and upward mobility is how much a person enjoys public speaking and how effective the person is at it. 
2. An audience is unlikely to remember more than a few points from a speech. 
3. One way to improve productivity is to encourage employee involvement in improving work processes. 
4. Controlling is one of the four management functions. 

Answer 1

1. TRUE
A study conducted by AT&T and Stanford University found that the top predictor of success and professional upward mobility is how much you enjoy public speaking and how effective you are at it.
2. TRUE
The most important thing to realize is that your audience won't remember more than a few points anyway. Thus, you need to decide which three or four points must be remembered. Then cover them as succinctly as possible in the body of the speech.
3. TRUE
A way to improve productivity is to encourage employee involvement and innovation. As a manager, you can encourage your employees, who are closest to the work process, to come up with suggestions for improving their own operations. And, of course, you can give workers a bigger say in doing their jobs, allow employee flextime, and reward people for learning new skills and taking on additional responsibility.
4. TRUE
The four management functions are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
