Prominent pollster Frank Luntz takes a look at how the business and financial sectors can alter their communication and actions to gain more respect from the American public. Frank outlines data that shows professionals in these sectors are among the least respected occupational groups in the U.S. today, coupling this with a study that demonstrates 58% of Americans, ages 18 through 29 view socialism as the most compassionate economic system as oppose to the 33% who responded capitalism.
Luntz views this as a disconnect between the positive accomplishments of corporate America and their failure to communicate them and their positive influence to the general public. “The business community has done nothing to explain what it does or how it does it,” he states. “18 to 29-year-olds hate you and you are the ones who are creating jobs for them and creating the opportunities for them.”
What’s behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political blunders? Why do some speeches and advertising campaigns resonate and endure while others are so quickly forgotten?
