FedEx is another company that's passionate. When it absolutely, positively has to get there is such a great, aspirational phrase. And FedEx used it for almost a decade to communicate the passion of delivering a package. The more passionate you are, the more successful you are.

The Tucson speech [of Barack Obama] was brilliant, and I'm so angry at Republicans for jumping on him because you have to give credit. Part of being successful is to give credit to people who you may not disagree with when they do well.

Win is about the specific use of specific words to connect you to your employer or employees, politicians to voters - and frankly, to help people win debates, have discussions, and improve the level of communication.
Frank Luntz
There are about 50 or 60 recommendations [in Win] for how to communicate, not just the words themselves. All of them had to be tested. And in this short amount of time, it's just very time-consuming and very stressful to ensure that you get it right.

The best advertising and the best communication when it comes to business is that which makes you smile, that which makes you think, that which makes you ponder.

Bill Clinton was effective because he had that personal relationship, that this was a guy who had tremendous curiosity, which is another one of the key attributes. And he had the ability - his mind was - his mind and his heart were very well-connected. And so he genuinely empathized.
Frank Luntz
The visual is important. Let's get to work says let's get it done, and that's what they want.
Frank Luntz
I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to.

Politics is gut commercials are gut.

Nothing guarantees more applause and more support than the call to abolish the IRS.

We will be far more effective as communicators when we acknowledge our mistakes, and then we try to make them up.

I have seen how effective language attached to policies that are mainstream and delivered by people who are passionate and effective can change the course of history.
Frank Luntz
I've done reasonably well over the last 10 years because I took the strategy of language and politics and applied it to the corporate world, which has never been done before.
