    About this audiobook

    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-listen for anyone seeking to build their business skills but reluctant to become mired in an unnecessarily complex tome.

    • 4/5
      A great little book reminding managers the basics of managing and leadership
    • 3/5
      The author rather unsuccessfully uses various characters from Winnie the Pooh to explore the six functions which managers must perform to do a good job in any field of endeavor: establishing objectives; organizing; communicating; developing people; motivating; and measurement and analysis. Repetitious. Not for a reader interested in Winnie the Pooh.

      I've always enjoyed these books by Allen, but I think this one in particular stretched the stories a little too much to illustrate points. Nevertheless, it's a good primer...just not great.
    • 2/5
      The basic principles of management are presented in a very simple and compact form. The reader is convinced that some qualities of good leaders are useful to non-leaders as well. The examples of management in the Pooh stories range from slightly embarrassing to OK-ish, but the concepts discussed could perhaps use more elaborate examples; now the whole thing seems a bit childish.Allen's lines for the Pooh characters are trivial chit-chat and there's too much of it. I would've liked more management issues and less Pooh. Well perhaps I'll read it somewhere else.
