    "Ford and The American Dream"

    CD Audio - Ford and the American Dream: Founded On Right Decisions

    In this day and time, people frequently talk about doing the "right thing," but rarely are they interested in risking their comfort zone and what others might think to do what they feel needs to be done.  Clifton Lambreth is one of those rare people.  After working for over twenty years for the Ford Motor Company, he could no longer keep quiet about the problems going on behind corporate doors that were hurting Ford's financial bottom line, and their reputation of being as American as baseball and apple pie.  Risking his job and livelihood, Lambreth put pen to paper and addressed the top issues that were causing the automotive giant to lose their position as being one of the leading automakers, worldwide.

    Clifton Lambreth sent the first copy to Alan Mulally, the current CEO of Ford.  "Mulally thanked me for having the 'courage to write the book.' He was keenly receptive to openly discussing issues facing the company," Lambreth said.  In fact, the pair have met for lunch at the Fair Lane Manor, the former residence of Henry Ford, on more than one occasion to discuss the contents of the book, and to see how best to implement the constructive, positive ideas given by Lambreth.

    Read below just a few of the many positive reponses that are continually being submitted; but I encourage you to read "Ford and the American Dream" for yourself.  It is a educational business novel, made entertaining by the fictional characters that you meet along the way.  It also makes a great gift for anyone in the business world, history buffs, car lovers, or people who love the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.
