\n From humble beginnings, FedEx has literally revolutionized the way business is conducted. Not too long ago, overnight shipping was barely an option for even the largest companies. Today, thanks to FedEx, it\u2019s available to every living room start-up. With annual revenues of $30 billion, more than 250,000 employees, 600 aircraft, and 70,000 surface vehicles, FedEx handles nearly six million shipments a day in two hundred countries. FedEx has become a household name, and has been named one of the top ten of America\u2019s Most Admired Companies by Fortune magazine.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t always easy. From his inside vantage point as the company\u2019s first general manager and chief operating officer, Roger Frock reveals the remarkable details of how Fred Smith and his team endured their tumultuous early years\u2014fraught with a seemingly unending series of legal, financial, and operational crises that continually threatened the company\u2019s ability to stay in business\u2014and, in the end, created an entirely new industry.<\/p>\n

Frock chronicles the dramatic last-minute saves and turnarounds the company engineered from its inception to the present. He entertains with stories of the trials and tribulations of the company\u2019s early struggles and victories\u2014from Pilots using personal credit cards to fuel planes, to the courier who hocked his watch to put gas in his delivery van, and, one of the most memorable episodes, the time that founder Fred Smith literally gambled the company\u2019s last remaining funds to keep the planes flying.<\/p>\n

Frock\u2019s story introduces all the players\u2014FedEx\u2019s resourceful and resilient leaders and employees\u2014and shows how these remarkable individuals gave Fred Smith\u2019s original concept wings and, through flexibility, creativity, and commitment, made a fledgling startup into one of the great success stories in modern business. Changing the Way the World Does Business is an inspirational tale for leaders and entrepreneurs everywhere. <\/p>\n
