Writing a Document versus Making a Presentation

Bill Carmody explains the differences between writing a document and making a presentation in a business context. Documents are ideal for detailed, specific information, legal matters, and when a paper trail is needed. Presentations are better for emotional appeals, selling ideas, and when visuals are more impactful. The choice depends on whether the focus is on data or emotion, with documents being more suitable for data-driven communication and presentations for emotional engagement.
