This book provides the best inside look at what can go wrong when companies don't do the right thing. Mr. Lambreth provides outstanding solutions to all businesses in America and worlwide. This is easily the Best Book of 2008!If you are in business or considering going into business - Read this book first. I predict this will easily be a New York Times Best Seller this year!
Clifton Lambreth has written an insiders view of Ford Motor Company and the mis-steps that have landed them where they are today. He explains a complex business model of a mega corporation using fictionalized characters. (I have to believe one of them is actually a character of himself.) It's an easy read that I would recommend for anyone interested in Ford, the auto industry or American business.
I had to read this book for a management class and was dreading it the whole time. When I finally made my self read it I'm so glad I did. It was a great learning we experience! I highly recommend it to any one who enjoys reading
