I tell this joke about Barack Obama is the best communicator of our generation: The guy reads a teleprompter better than any Hollywood actor. John McCain, his opponent - Stevie Wonder reads a teleprompter better than John McCain.

Apple has a passion to deliver the most amazing, innovative - and, in fact, I got criticized because in Win, there are at least 10 references to what Steve Jobs has done, and Apple's done, in that my editor said it's too much. But Apple is a passionate company.

Richard Nixon will always go down as a failure because of one stupid, moral - and that goes back to that last chapter, on principles.

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

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.
Frank Luntz
It applies even more to politicians because they are living, breathing embodiments of the language that they use. And it's why how you start the conversation, and how you end it, matters so much.
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
People want to be inspired. They want to aspire to something. ... You can have the best product, the best service, the best argument in a debate. But without the effective words you still lose. In the end you need good principles and good language if you are to succeed.
Frank Luntz
Winners know what makes people tick by effectively tapping into our fears and aspirations. By listening very carefully and then repeating almost word-for-word exactly what they've heard, winners know how to articulate compelling needs—and products to satisfy those needs—that people didn't even know they wanted.

Politics is gut commercials are gut.

The perfect opening is the word imagine, because imagine allows you to communicate in the eyes and the vision of the listener rather than yours. And the best illustration of that is 1984. Room 101 in 1984 - everyone's read it, and we all have our own imagination of what that looks like.

The adjectives that are in the book [Win] - passion, persuasion, persistence, perfection, prioritization, being people-centered - none of them are as important as principles. Without principles, the language will fail.

This book [ Win] is based on the interviews with three dozen Fortune 400 - or Forbes 400, the richest people, and a couple dozen of the top CEOs.I wanted to know what language they use to be successful, and I wanted to know the attributes that could then be applied to the average individual.

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.

There are certain aspects, and there are - there are 15 attributes of winners and winning slogans. Which side are you on sounds divisive, that you're on one side or the other, at a time when we actually want universality. We want unanimity.
Frank Luntz
The second most important attribute of winners, after understanding the human dimension, is knowing what questions to ask, the rhetorical nature.

Most voters would rather have their purse or wallet stolen than be audited by the IRS.

You need good principles and good language if you are to succeed.

My father was a dentist, and I always thought that he was one of the 10. It's an interesting way to personalize and humanize, which is one of the most important aspects of communication.

With all due respect to UPS - it's a fine company - nobody cares about logistics. They care about that package arriving at their home, at their office, when it is supposed to and in the condition it's supposed to. FedEx is a much better communicator than UPS.

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.
