Winnie-the-Pooh on Problem Solving

Book excerpt: "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.
