Born to Build attempts to inspire entrepreneurs and ambitious, self-motivated people to build something that will change the world—a small business that grows into a mammoth enterprise, a thriving new division in an existing company, a nonprofit, a social enterprise or a church—anything that makes a lasting impact. Written with Dr. Sangeeta Badal, the principal scientist for Gallup's Entrepreneurship and Job Creation initiative, Born to Build coaches entrepreneurs to create self-awareness, recognize opportunities, activate on ideas, and build a team.{{cite news|title=For Jobs, It's War|url=https://www.gallup.com/builder/225173/born-to-build-book.aspx

The Coming Jobs War describes how the universal desire of the workforce—to have “a good job”—affects all leadership decisions in countries, cities, businesses, schools, and government. As Clifton writes, leaders go as jobs go, so does the fate of nations. And the cities and countries that focus everything they have on creating good jobs are the ones that will win.{{cite news|title=For Jobs, It's War|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/17/opinion/blow-for-jobs-its-war.html?_r=0|accessdate=November 9, 2014|work=New York Times| date=17 September 2011 | last1=Blow | first1=Charles M. }}
