New Book Provides Inspiration and Insight for Business Leaders and Start-Ups

Lincoln, NE, June 10, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Infusionmedia today announced the publication of “Coffee with Cleo,” a new book by leadership development consultant Cleo Franklin. Franklin has written a collection of 10 leadership lessons and personal stories of inspiration, self-reflection and insight from his 32-year career as an executive with iconic global brands John Deere, Case-New Holland and Mahindra.

Readers, especially those who are business leaders or on start-up teams, will find inspiration and courage in Franklin’s honest and self-reflective writing. “I describe it as a modern-day ‘Aesop’s Fables,’” said Franklin.

The book’s foreword was written by Anand G. Mahindra, executive chairman of the Mahindra Group. “A good story requires a good storyteller... Through artful storytelling, Cleo offers valuable leadership lessons for any aspiring leader or start-up business team seeking guidance and a framework to help develop and improve their leadership skills... For many successful executives, it will serve as a reminder that we should sometimes jog the memory for insights that have, perhaps, been long forgotten.”

Books are available for order from Franklin’s website, coffeewithcleo.com, and will be available on Amazon and through other retailers later this month.
