Format:Paperback
This is intended to convey the most important information in order to perform as a manager. The information is conveyed in a short space of time and also in a way that makes it more readable and easier to remember (It is not a satire of management theories along similar lines to Winnie-the-Pooh and the Philosophers).
It assumes that the reader needs a complete explanation of all the main functions of a manager and the best ways to perform in the role. It concentrates mainly on the practicalities - there are no management theory discussions or information about Taylor, Fayol, Senge etc. This allows a clear view to be taken of what needs to be done as a manager and the back-to-basics approach is useful both for someone with no idea of what to do, or someone who has learnt a lot of management theory, but never had to put it into practice (It's always different when you try and do it for real isn't it ?).

Winnie-The-Pooh on Management:
4 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
I have read this book 3 times and passed it on to at least 4 different person in management positions. I have found this book to be one of the best books on how to effectively manage at work, home and in school. I teach a Study Skill class at a local State college and use this book in the last third of the semester. After my students have been introduced to survival skills for beginning students, ie Time Management, How to read a textbook, how to take notes, study for a test, etc. Roger's book gently shows students how to apply all the other parts of the course so that they may be successful in their college career and beyond. The students enjoy learning, because the book is not dry and dull as so many management theory books are. They retain the information at a higher rate than when I was using other books of this genre. I recommend this book to all I meet and speak with. It is truly a library keeper.

A Very Important book
8 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
being a rather unconventional person, when I was recently promoted into a supervisory position at work I decided that it was time to Learn About Management...not wanting to go about in the same manner as others would I decided that this book would be a good way to get an idea as to what I now needed to do...while it is a little surreal to read agbout Pooh discussing various aspects of management with a Stranger the material that is presented is highly useful and entertainingly presented...highly reccommended for the person who doesnt enjoy reading the same dry books day in and day out, or try to keep up to date on the most recent management fads.

A book for young would-be managers
23 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
Winnie-the-Pooh fans will, no doubt, love this book, but for others the style may detract from the messages. As for the messages, they are mostly on-the-mark, but border on common knowledge. This may me a good book for a beginning manager, or someone thinking about entering management.
