Aww, WInnie the Pooh is a bit confuzzled about the basics of management...

Delightful little read for class. No one better to remind you the basics of leadership than the Hundred Acre gang themselves.

A cute way to simplify management basics for those who might not know where to begin on the topic, or who may just want a reminder of what they've learned when everything is starting to seem too complicated. The author captures the voices of the original characters well, though some situations do seen a bit stretched to fit the topic.

As a devotee of Winnie-the-Pooh, philosopher extraordinaire, I had to pick this one up. I expected the Pooh parts to be “Pooh-like” and that turned out to be the case. The author does a great job at writing Pooh (and Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyor, etc.) in their AA Milne voices and includes a fair amount of flashbacks right from the original stories to illustrate his management points. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this book has some honestly good management advice.
The advice is of the very basic variety but, really, that’s the best kind. Basically it covers 6 major themes on what makes a good manager. As Pooh would say, ‘It covers the How’s, not just the What’s. And the How’s are harder.’
I could see this book being on the shelf of both the 21 year old part-time employee with JC Penney’s who is bucking for a promotion into the management ranks someday as well as on the shelf of a Fortune 500 CEO. Simple, straightforward management concepts are tried and true and Pooh Bear makes a great way to get the points across.
A fun and entertaining read.

Nothing earth shattering, but a great way to re-package management principles. Pooh and his friends do a great job describing how they practiced management techniques from some of the their best stories we all know and love. Super quick read!

I love the little of Pooh and his friends' adventures and how the author relate them to management. I want to read more Winnie the Pooh books.
