I found the book at a flea market and gave it a try because I was curious. It's not a bad book, Winnie the Pooh fans will love the references. The author's original scenes about Pooh & Co stay true to the characters.
The book might get you (back) in the mood to read the Winnie the Pooh books. It was a quick read filled with nostalgia.
I can imagine that the other Wisdom of Pooh books work better, because I had a problem with the connection of management theories & the Hundred Acre Wood. The author did a good job explaining the basics in a simple way & linking them to Pooh stories. But those theories are all about an office setting, which doesn't exist in the life of Pooh & Co. Explaining communication styles to them might work, but when they're elaborated further, it's clear that the "stranger" talks about workplaces. Other topics from the Wisdom of Pooh books probably work better in the Pooh universe.
I like the idea behind it, but this discrepancy always seemed strange.

Unless you're a Pooh fan or just starting out in business, this book really doesn't hit the mark in covering management principles and how it has evolved to the business cultures of today.

A good read, for Winnie the Pooh lovers who also have to work!

its not often that one can quote Winnie the pooh in a serious piece of work, this book allowed me to do just that as part of my Diploma in Management and do it correctly! Very clever approach to an often boring subject.
