Bodwell’s Answer:

Focus on:

•     Definition: What is a High Performance Team (HPT)
•     How HPTs can out perform any manager's ability to get results by supervising  people.
•     Describe the cultural differences between a team and non-team environment
•     Describe the conditions necessary to create a HPT environment
•     Describe the benefits to the people, customers, and management for using teams

The information in my website, http://rampages.onramp.net/~bodwell/home.htm including the book and article references I've included there, should provide all the information you need to create a presentation.  I'll include three slides you can use as well (They are in Microsoft PowerPoint).
