Winnie-the-Pooh on Success


Book Description

Roger and Stephen Allen have had great success themselves in using A. A. Milne?s Winnie-the-Pooh characters to illustrate their common-sense approach to business. Their Winnie-the-Pooh on Management and Winnie-the-Pooh on Problem Solving have together sold more than 200,000 copies.Now, in Winnie-the-Pooh on Success, the Allens return to the Hundred Acre Wood to explore just exactly what success is and how it can be achieved. For some, like Pooh himself, it is a simple matter of attaining a few extra jars of honey. Whatever the definition, the point is that, whether bear or owl, kangaroo or human, we must each decide what success means for us and actively pursue it.With its appealing trim size and genuine Ernest Shepherd illustrations, Winnie-the-Pooh on Success will reach an even larger audience than its predecessors. Its lessons are applicable to people in all walks of life, from corporate managers and entrepreneurs, to college students, homemakers, andretirees, all of whom know and love Winnie-the-Pooh.




Winnie-the-Pooh on Management


Book Description

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.




Winnie-the-Pooh on Problem Solving


Book Description

"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.

Goodbye Christopher Robin


Book Description

Goodbye Christopher Robin: A.A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh is drawn from Ann Thwaite’s Whitbread Award-winning biography of A. A. Milne , one of England’s most successful writers. After serving in the First World War, Milne wrote a number of well-received plays, but his greatest triumph came when he created Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, the adventurous little boy based on his own son. Goodbye Christopher Robin inspired the film directed by Simon Curtis and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie and Kelly Macdonald. It offers the reader a glimpse into the relationship between Milne and the real-life Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of the Hundred Acre Wood. Goodbye Christopher Robin is a story of celebrity, a story of both the joys and pains of success and, ultimately, the story of how one man created a series of enchanting tales that brought hope and comfort to an England ravaged by the First World War.
