Synopsis
Executives weary of Japanese motivational techniques and the ceaseless advice of self-proclaimed excellence gurus will find solace and wisdom in the management style of the world's hungriest little bear, Winnie the Pooh.
In this clever business primer, author Roger E. Allen uses the characters in A. A. Milne's classic children's story to illustrate such fundamental principles of good management as leadership, communication, organization, motivation, delegation of authority, and the importance of setting clear objectives. Allen's droll sense of humor cuts through the mind-numbing jargon of most business books. The result is a highly entertaining and surprisingly practical guide through the Hundred Acre Wood of effective business management.

From Library Journal
Management consultant Allen uses A.A. Milne's original stories and the classic drawings of Ernest H. Shepard as object lessons for today's manager. He presents the adventures of Christopher Robin and friends as illustrations of organizational management and comments on the effectiveness of management decisions and actions taken by various inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood. The Stranger who comes to the wood to instruct Pooh and friends in management never really explains why the group-who, after all, accomplish quite a bit without consultants-needs such instruction. Nevertheless, the Stranger teaches them basic management principles, including such fundamental communication concepts as, "The information should be meaningful to the individual who is receiving it." Although this work offers few new ideas, the old ones are refreshingly and humbly presented. Recommended for public libraries.
