Thanks Harry, One of many hats I wear at my place of employment involves software development. Dan Pink hit it on the nail. While the concept of "Fed Ex" time might terrify many managers they would do well to let it be. Besides, they can later claim the fruits of "Fed Ex" dabbling as actually having been one of their own novel ideas - and subsequently collect a nice bonus at the end of the year.
