Local publisher releases business novel on Ford’s “Return to Greatness”

Imagine Media Publishing of Clarksville, Tennessee, announces the premiere release of the business novel, Return to Greatness: Driving the American Dream, by Clifton Lambreth with Mary Calia and Patrick Doyle. The book is available at www.thereturntogreatness.com and is soon to be a motion picture.

Return to Greatness tells the story of a man who learns timeless business and management practices from the ghost of Henry Ford. The book explores several timeless and time-honored business principles and applies those principles to America itself. Billed as a “creative non-fiction” by the publisher, the book acquaints us with the very people who are responsible for bringing Ford Motor Company back from the brink of bankruptcy just a few short years ago and into profitability — the only “Detroit 3” automaker that did not accept a government bailout.

“It’s perfect for the business community,” said David W. Shelton, Publisher and CEO of Imagine Media Solutions. “I can see this book as not only a great story, but also an excellent resource for the common sense that is lacking in many corporate environments. It is a breath of fresh air for businesses everywhere. We’re especially proud to have all aspects of this book produced right here in Clarksville.”

According to Professor Joseph J. Lescota, Chairman of Automotive Retail Management at Northwood University, the premier school in this specialty area, “Ford is definitely back on track and the marketplace is feeling the positive energy. This new book sums up the potential that we all have when we look in the mirror and recognize our challenges, identify a great leader, form a plan and execute with focus and passion. Ford is facing its challenges head-on just like our country needs to do. Readers will not only draw the same conclusion as I did, but they’ll enjoy the relaxed way historical facts are presented. It is a perfect case study for students of the retail automotive industry. That’s why I’m making Return to Greatness a required read for the Automotive Retail Management majors of Northwood University. What’s more, it’s a must read and a breath of fresh air for businesses everywhere.”

Return to Greatness: Driving the American Dream is illustrated by Igor Babailov, who has painted world leaders, celebrities and distinguished individuals including two Popes, Presidents, Prime Ministers and global leaders. His portrait painting of George Washington featured in the book, hangs in the permanent collection of George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate and Museum, in Alexandria, Virginia.
