'Professor Bob Garratt is once again at the forefront of challenging conventional thinking on corporate governance and fearlessly exploring areas that others fear to tread. In his relentless pursuit of excellence in governance, Professor Garratt thankfully takes us beyond yet another dissertation on rules and standards to remind us of the underlying thesis of good governance around values and trust and seeks to build on the twin issues of competence and professionalism. What I find compelling is his challenge to regulators and policy makers to demonstrate genuine commitment and leadership in encouraging thoughtful legislation and enforcement that restores the productive, but responsible, capacity of business enterprise.'
Philip Armstrong, Director of Governance, Gavi Alliance and Board Vice Chair, International Corporate Governance Network
'An incredibly valuable work. It needs to be studied be the leaders in business and government to begin the processes of correction. As expected by readers of Bob Garratt’s seminal work The Fish Rots from the Head, the author has not disappointed. Stop the Rot will be a handbook for all those involved in corporate entities seeking certainty of direction to improve the standing of business leaders in the community.'
Denise Fleming, Managing Director, Foresight's Global Coaching, Australia
'Bob Garratt adds to his library of classic works on Governance with this volume which builds on the earlier excellent analysis, on what is wrong with our boardrooms, by dealing with the ongoing frustration over a lack of implementation of previously agreed changes in corporate governance, which has undermined trust. Bob, here, prescribes more fundamental change based on learning which puts humanity, values and ethics to the fore whilst encouraging entrepreneurial direction. Anybody who is unsatisfied with the current state of governance and lack of trust should read and apply the lessons!'
Canon Professor Clive Morton, Middlesex University, UK
'It is clear that this new book from Bob Garratt is needed as a guide to the post Brexit Trump world. It is visionary in making bold suggestions, and it is ambitious in raising new questions. The book pinpoints the "demolishing of professionalism" as the critical cultural change that accounts for so much that we regret in today’s corporate world.'
Robert A.G. Monks, author of 'Corporate Governance' and 'Corpocracy'
'Taking as a starting point the low level of public trust in our business leaders and politicians, Bob Garratt powerfully argues the case for rethinking what we mean by governance. In his view, rethinking is needed in organisations of all kinds - listed corporations, private companies, state-owned enterprises, even charities and co-operatives, as well as by politicians. His focus is on our systems of values and the need to re-connect our basic human values and the values in use in commercial and political life. His comprehensive study of the issues and possible ways forward should be required reading for all those who hold, or aspire to, positions of power in society.'
Professor Philip Sadler, author of 'Leadership'
'Professor Garratt's latest book, Stop the Rot, focuses on the governance of governance, and clearly and succinctly lays out who are the key players, what are the key issues and what needs to be done. The 2008 Financial Crisis was a watershed, but have we really learned the lessons? Professor Garratt puts forward some interesting suggestions and solutions with a call for a new national governance framework based on strong moral values and ethical leadership. A must read for anyone interested in governance.'
Jane Valls, GCC Board Directors Institute
Following the international success of The Fish Rots from the Head: Developing Effective Directors, this sequel from Bob Garratt explains the public's distrust of the people who govern us - the directors, owners, regulators and politicians - and how this can be changed.
Currently, Corporate Governance is too narrow and fragmented. The growing gap between the angry public and the urban elite, made manifest by Brexit and Trump, is due to a lack of appreciation by both parties of the roles and values of well-governed organisations in bonding a society at both national and international levels.
This book pulls no punches and directly challenges directors and politicians to reframe their thinking about 'governance' to address the public's distrust of them. This is the ROT that needs to be STOPPED.
This book is truly radical in going back to basics and then designing a new national action learning system between the four main players overseen by continuous public scrutiny. It is designed to counter the official reports of organisational failure that end too frequently with the weasel words 'but the main problem was a failure of corporate governance'. Currently this is code for 'so no-one can do much about it'. This book shows what can be done.
The book explains how the disjointed responses to the angry public have resulted in a series of unhelpful regulations made worse by their thoughtless application. This reaction has reduced the chances of directors being able to deliver their main purpose - ensuring the future of their business by better understanding the complexities of their future financial, social and environmental policies and enabling improved creativity and thoughtful risk-taking.
Stop the Rot sets governance in a much wider social context. The acceptance of global Human Values in all of our organizations, with their necessary ethics and behaviours, ensures the development of Inclusive Capitalism to the advantage of all.
