Hear The True-Life Story Firsthand!

There may not be an industry quite as American as the automobile industry. Last year, when the industry was on the verge of collapse, many people thought we had to do something so save it. However, Clifton Lambreth was already doing something.

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. He did not just criticize, but wrote how the problems could be corrected. The title of that book is, "Ford and The American Dream."

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. "Ford and The American Dream" has been a success, and 25,000 copies were recently printed in Russian. The book is of a very timely subject, due to all that is currently happening with the automotive industry.

Clifton has a new book that has just been released, "Return To Greatness - Driving The American Dream." His second book updates the reader on what happened after he sent the first copy of his first book to Alan Mullaly. A screenplay is currently being created from this book.

At every meeting he speaks at, he always receives rave reviews, and many times has been told that it was the best speech they have ever heard at one of their meetings. These are groups who usually meet weekly or monthly, and always have a guest speaker, so they have heard it all. He is professional, as well as personable, and very entertaining. His sense of humor and out-going personality brightens the day of anyone who crosses his path. Not only is the subject matter pertinent to all of us, due to the automobile industry employing so many Americans, but he speaks of truths and gives insight that can be applied to any business, large or small, or even to your personal life. His story really is the Golden Rule in the flesh. Clifton's personal quote is, "Do the Right thing at the Right time for the Right reason and get the Right results; and even more importantly, earn the Right to expect others to do the same!" He has spoken in front of audiences numbering from a few dozen to several thousand. Some of those have included to Chambers, Rotary clubs, Kiwanis, Lions clubs, Civitan clubs, in addition to multiple businesses and organizations. He enjoys meeting people and hearing their personal stories. He would be honored to speak at your meeting. He can tailor his speech to the length your meeting allows.
