The inability to speak on our feet has brought about what I call a new term: Telepromt-torical. I created it for this occasion.
Though this has nothing directly to do with business, it’s noted in honor of the top-most member of our government in Washington.
He has much to do these days with the state our business and financial climate. He appears to be vying with the status of those ancient Roman senators who stood around in togas making speeches. Interestingly, they did so without the use of teleprompters.
He, however, has changed things in this country. Yes, even the world. You might say, in fact, his speeches are very teleprompt-torical.
Kidding aside, I would think that schools today ought to include courses on debating, in addition to their regular curricula. The ability to think on your feet without having something to read from in front of you, other than note outlines, would be a benefit to all.
And not just for those who hope to become president some day.
