President Obama is a goner, unless he gets the message fast: the issue is andalways has been: Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!
Article by Ruthsella Corasol
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author’s program note. You know and I know (and may be even they themselves know) the folks in Washington, D.C., those congress people, and even the president of these United States, just don’t get it. I mean, it just seems like common sense, logical, that a human person needs a job and the income that derives from it. So today I’m going to do these exalted poobahs a favor. I’m not going to wait a moment longer… I’ve got a detailed plan for what the Honorable Barack can do — right now. And he better use it, too, before all the folks without jobs hand him his hat… and some other gent his job.
It doesn’t cost trillions of dollars and your right arm. By Washington standards, it’s cheap… and that’s probably why they’ll turn up their noses at it… because this plan isn’t going to swell the ranks of the bureaucracy; it is only going to help real people get work and focus the president on what’s important: having a job, like he does.
For the incidental music to today’s article, I’ve selected a pip of a tune. Your mom probably sang it to you when you were a kid. Mine did… and mom (who was a bit of a ham, like all good mothers) needed no persuasion, not just to belt it out, but pretend she was a train and that I was her favorite passenger. The tune is “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad.” You’ll find it in any search engine. Go now, find and sing it at the top of your voice. Feels good, doesn’t it, especially if you’ve got a job!
It’s a traditional American folk song first published in a book of glees, “Carmina Princetonia”, by Princeton University in 1894. Those privileged boys knew nothing about work, of course; but they did know a good tune when they heard it…and so did the Sandhills Sixteen who first recorded it. It was released by Victor Records in 1927… and was so popular everyone and his bro’ recorded it, too. It’s easy to see why. It’s got traditional American pep and toe tapping rhythm. It’s the way a bunch of folks would sound as they let off steam (and had a cool one, or two) after work… The key was “work.” And that, Mister President, is why you need to listen to this tune and its lyrics and get the message:
“I’ve been working on the railroad All the live-long day.”
A pie cutter, not a pie maker.
To understand Barack Obama better, you’ve only got to remember that he’s a lawyer. And while that isn’t exactly illegal, it is certainly not what we need when the issue is, as it has been throughout his presidency, jobs, pure and simple. That’s because lawyers are adept at dividing wealth (always keeping a good slice of it for themselves); they are not and never have been good at creating wealth. I like to say, lawyers can cut up a pie and distribute it… but they don’t know a hill of beans about making pies. And that’s Barack’s problem and why he’s having so much trouble… and why much more trouble is heading his way unless he gets the message and starts creating some jobs.
And one more thing… the problem is even worse because he’s a Harvard LAW grad.
Now, I’ve got nothing against the “Harvards” (as Lyndon Johnson used to call them); I have two Harvard degrees myself. but you’ve got to understand something. Harvard Law graduates (the best trained lawyers on earth) are cool, detached, analytical to a degree. They have been trained in the mastery of words… not in the necessary skills for working with, inspiring and motivating people. And if you don’t see Barack Obama in these words, you need to change your bi-focals. He was trained in a way that provides no assistance whatsoever in making pies and feeding Americans who need them.
I’m here to help. I am always glad to pull a Harvard Law grad out of the drink… It helps humble that insufferable breed.
Here’s my suggestion designed to save the president’s bacon and, while we’re at it, put millions of Americans to work, which is where they ought and want to be. Here’s where a knowledge of business, marketing, and the Internet come in handy.
First, let’s make sure we’re focused on the right enemy and get Obama focused, too. He missed the boat (as every political junkie knows) by concentrating first on health care, gays in the military, etc. These were important, of course, but never as important (or as marketable) as JOBS. And here the Honorable Barack unquestionably muffed it. It’s what put him in the soup and soured America. Real people never forgot that which Obama gave no indication of ever knowing; namely that having a job (with that all-important predictable income) is the key to the good life and the mental serenity that everyone needs. It’s that “pie maker” thing I mentioned above.
Declare war on the real enemy — unemployment.
Obama is the Commander-in-Chief of all the president’s horses and all the president’s men. He needs to act like it and select the right enemy: unemployment. This means setting the goal and going about the business of achieving it.
Start by turning the Roosevelt Room into what it used to be: a military command center. Tell the nation that a 24 hour-a-day strategic center will work from there… and that it will help folks around the nation CREATE jobs… and recognize those who do. Make it clear that you, the president, will appear in this war center daily; also, that you will address the nation for 5 minutes or so. Monday through Saturday. Set up the necessary video facilities in the White House.
Then get a website where the jobs being created are listed along with the folks responsible for thus helping achieve victory in the war for employment. Make it clear to your fellow Citizens just what you are doing and that you are calling upon them to help add new workers to their enterprises and organizations.
Each day cite progress, outline problems, say what you’re doing to solve them and make progress. Show the American people what YOU are doing… and then make it clear what they need to do. Americans like this kind of common sense approach. They can understand it, unlike mere statistics as reported by government agencies and run in newspapers. Your job is to keep it clear and simple so that even teen-agers understand.
“Hi, fellow Americans, here’s what we achieved together today.”
You pioneered in using the Internet to raise money and identify supporters. Now use it to motivate and recognize job creators of any kind for everything they do. Be enthusiastic! Always mention the names of these heroes in the war for job creation and growth. Make your website interactive like my Live Business Center. Have employers leave their job creation info… and have a staffer get back to them at once for all the details. Make sure you phone some of them… and always, always, always thank the people — by name — for what they do towards creating the jobs Americans need. And, remember, every job created has a tremendous ripple effect, the new job holder, his family, the children, the merchants where they shop, you get the picture.
Turn it into a Big Deal…. because it is.
One more thing: by doing this and embracing the American people and their needs and concerns, you’ll not only save your soul; you’ll probably save your presidency, too. And if you follow these recommendations and achieve success, you’ll deserve it!

Essential guiding principles for business,
Full disclosure, I know the publisher of this book. I also worked at Apple for nearly a decade, creating marketing for Mac computers, and I can tell you that the quotes in “I, Steve” encapsulate everything I learned while I was there: Paying attention to little details (because they matter). Relentless simplification. Knowing what to say ‘no’ to. These principles can apply to many aspects of business and reading them in Steve’s words are an excellent reminder that we don’t have to settle for mediocrity. This is not a biography, nor is it an exploitation of the man’s death, as this book has been scheduled for publication for many months now. This book is an essential tool for how to think about the problems you wrestle with at work. Bring a copy to your office. Start off every meeting reading a random quote. See what happens.

|A quick, fun trip through one of the greatest minds of our time.,
What a fun and interesting book about Steve Jobs, a more breezy counterpoint to the official biography. I, Steve starts with a light biography and highlights “Milestones,” a year-by-year look at Apple’s (and Jobs’s) successes. The real meat of the book is in the quotes from Jobs on every conceivable topic, sort of a Bartlett’s Quotations focusing exclusively on this amazing man.
Steve Jobs once said that most overnight successes take a long time. I, Steve feels meticulously researched and well put-together. At once educational and inspiration, I, Steve is perfect for both MacAddicts and anyone looking to exceed.

|Helpful Points -,
“As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.” Peter Drucker
“Steve Jobs is the most captivating communicator on the world stage,” says the author in his opening sentence. The book is divided into three sections: 1)Create the story. 2)Deliver the experience. 3)Refine and rehearse. The material lacks direct input from Jobs, is overly fawning vs. Jobs, and is somewhat repetitive. Nonetheless, given the importance of the topic and the value of the material, the book is well worth reading. The following summarizes some of its suggestions for planning and preparing a presentation.
1)What is the one big idea you want to leave with your audience? It should be short, memorable, and in subject-verb-object sequence.
2)Identify why you’re excited about this company/product/feature, etc.
3)Write out the three messages you want the audience to receive, and develop metaphors and analogies in support.
4)Include a demonstration if your product topic lends itself to such. (Eg. pull the product out of your pocket if it is ‘pocket-sized.’
5)Invite partners and customers to participate.
6)Include video clips if helpful, but limit to three minutes or less.
7)Answer the “Why should I care?” that’s in the audience’s mind. Have a passion for creating a better future.
8)Having an enemy (eg. IBM, Microsoft) helps visualize ‘the problem’ you’re solving.
9)Simplify your presentation (and products).
10)Make numbers meaningful – eg. “Stores 1,000 songs,” not “5 GB memory.”
11)Don’t use ‘bullet-point’ style visuals; instead, use short phrases that accompany your talk, or pictures.
12)Practice, practice, practice – and ask for feedback.

|A book a speechwriter can love,
The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs is a book that a speechwriter can love. Gallo quotes from sources such as Nancy Duarte’s slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations and Garr Reynolds’ Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery. He even has a sidebar on JFK speechwriter Ted Sorensen’s influence on Barack Obama titled, “What the World’s Greatest Speechwriters Know.”
The message of this book is that Jobs’ extraordinary impact is based on his authenticity and his passion for his company’s people and products. Most presenters can’t claim to be the CEO of an archetypically cool Silicon Valley company.
Neither can they get away with wearing faded jeans, sneakers and a turtleneck onstage. But simply everyone with a product or service that improves people’s lives has a story to tell. Gallo’s book explains in detail how Jobs presents his story so that his passion shines through and ignites the audience. It’s Gallo’s claim that anyone can learn how to deliver an “insanely great” presentations.
The “secrets” that make Jobs so effective onstage include the usual stage tips taught by presentation coaches: Make eye contact with the audience, use vocal variety and know the power of a well-timed pause. But the majority of the book analyzes the structure, rather than the delivery techniques, of major keynotes Jobs has given at Macworld and elsewhere over the years. This makes the book of inestimable value for anyone who needs to understand the nuts and bolts of writing a speech.
Performance piece
When Steve Jobs takes to the stage he often tells dramatic stories, so it’s appropriate that the book itself is structured as a three-act play. Act 1 tells how to create the story, Act 2 tells how to deliver it, and Act 3 stresses the importance of rehearsal. Gallo adds “Director’s Notes” that summarize each chapter (or scene), and he introduces a cast of supporting characters.
Organizing the book in this way also reinforces the importance of telling a story in three parts; of delivering a speech with three messages. In fact, Gallo concedes, the chapter on the effectiveness of breaking a speech into three “could easily have become the longest in the book.”
Speechwriters’ playbook
The book is a playbook for writing a great speech. Jobs and his team start scripting a speech long before firing up PowerPoint or, in their case, Keynote software. They settle on an attention-grabbing headline (“The world’s thinnest notebook”); then they decide on the three key messages; develop analogies and metaphors; and scope out demonstrations, video clips and cameo guest appearances.
Next they develop the “plot” of the speech, setting up an antagonist (Microsoft or IBM in the early days), dressing up numbers and including plenty of “amazingly zippy” words. Finally, they script a memorable “holy smokes” moment that people will talk about long after the event ends. The slides they eventually create are heavy on images and light on text and bullet points.
Live action video
A book alone will go only so far. If you’ve never actually seen Jobs present in person, then you haven’t experienced the “reality-distortion field” his charisma and eloquence creates in the auditorium. Gallo has this covered.
The book’s end notes provide URLs for some of the 47,000 [...] video clips showcasing Jobs and clearly demonstrating the techniques discussed. Viewing the videos compensates for the poor-quality monochrome photos of Jobs onstage-the one disappointment in the book.
Learning from his mistakes
To counteract any feelings of inadequacy you might have after watching Jobs deliver a flawless keynote, do a quick search on YouTube for “Apple Bloopers” and you’ll see that, even for Steve Jobs, things don’t always go well onstage. Demos fail, screens freeze, and he stumbles over words. But as with any masterful presenter, Jobs remains calm.
Even if the speeches you write or deliver are not destined for “insane” greatness, they’ll be much, much, better for having read Carmine Gallo’s insanely great book.

|Not The Best,
If you haven’t read Presentation Zen, slide:ology and/or Brain Rules, then maybe you will find some interesting bits in this book. I can’t complain about the messages in this book – everyone needs to learn how to be a better presenter. But like many business books, the twelve rules here could have been done in a long article instead of a short book. Then at least the author could have embedded video. There’s a lot of fluff or irrelevant content (pictures of Jobs, tables of talk transcripts) that do little but pad the book. I’m a big Apple fan, but large parts of this book reads more like a Jobs love-fest than a presentation how-to.
Steve has a luxury most don’t: he controls everything about his presentations and has the resources to present in the manner he finds will best get his message across. The vast majority of us do not have those luxuries. While there are a lot of great rules in the book, unless you are presenting something that is highly visual and have the artistic resources to procure vivid imagery, a lot of the particulars of the keynote’s will be irrelevant.
There are simply better books on this topic elsewhere.
