To learn how winners win, ask them. Political consultant and Fox News analyst Frank I. Luntz interviewed extraordinary winners, including many leaders from Forbes 400 and Fortune 500 companies. Luntz distills his discoveries down to nine basic principles that he calls “nine Ps of winning.” The politicians who hire Luntz’s consulting company, The Word Doctors, consider him a master propagandist.
