"Winnie-the-Pooh was delighted with the terrific success of Winnie-the-Pooh on Management. Not only did that Acclaimed Bestseller confirm his position as a VIB (Very Important Bear), it showed managers as only the persuasive Pooh could how to make it to the top of the tree (where the honey is)." "Now The Stranger returns to the Hundred Acre Wood to help Pooh (not to mention Piglet, Tigger, Owl, Kanga, and all the others) learn about a new Very Important Challenge that all managers - and everyone else - must master: Problem Solving." "And so it is that The Stranger, using the well-known adventures of Pooh and friends, teaches and explains the unique SOLVE Problem-Solving Method, a step-by-step system of identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems. Pooh, and you, learn all the principles of practical problem solving, which can be applied as easily to rescuing Tigger from high up in a tree as to the many challenges that are part of today's rapidly changing and complex world. Teaching the "Hows" of defining the problem, learning by questioning, visualizing possible solutions, and monitoring results are what this book does best."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Finally in paperback-a quick, easy, and fun primer on management fundamentals. The failure to grasp the basics of management often trips up even the most successful companies. With that in mind, management consultant Roger E. Allen uses A. A. Milne's beloved stories and characters to illustrate essential business principles, such as the establishment of clear objectives and strong leadership, the need for accurate information, and other neglected aspects of prudent management. Wonderfully readable and informative and sure to have the paperback appeal of Benjamin Hoff's The Tao of Pooh, Winnie-the-Pooh on Management is a must-read for anyone seeking to build their business skills but reluctant to become mired in an unnecessarily complex tome.

Pooh's friends find creative uses for his old honey pots.
