With the conciseness of thought you expect from busy people, FedEx Corp. exec Tom Schmitt and longtime

Memphis labor attorney Arnold Perl have distilled years of managing people and projects into a book the diligent can digest in a night.

"Simple Solutions: Harness the Power of Passion and Simplicity to Get Results" is the only book in the world with a forward written by Frederick W. Smith.

And if the history of books endorsed by business management guru Tom Peters means anything, it's got a good chance of being a best seller.... The thesis, underlined in short chapters and bolstered with breakouts, is that the gentle melding of left- and right-brain tendencies, coupled with transparency, optimism and goal-oriented thinking, transforms people and situations.

Though their experiences were honed in different arenas, Perl and Schmitt suggest that any problem can be broken into small components and worked out, from ferrying kids in rush-hour traffic to planning a land swap at Memphis International Airport that allows both the Tennessee Air National Guard and FedEx to expand.-- The Commercial Appeal (Memphis), Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Business News, January 10, 2007 Wednesday)
