Something Rotten - by Jim Storr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

'Something Rotten' points out logical and practical problems with organisations and processes. It challenges the reader as to why such problems exist and persist. It suggests abandoning much overt process; building up human expertise; relying on fewer but better-trained people; and deciding and acting much faster.

Review Quotes

'A scathing critique. Jim Storr is an original thinker who has never been afraid of asking the awkward question, never slow to challenge conventional wisdom, never shy of being deemed controversial or heretical. This book bears all those hallmarks. It is highly thought-provoking and stimulating.'

Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely KCB MC

'Jim Storr provides a crisp, informed, vigorous, and uncomfortable analysis of what has gone wrong with command systems in the British Army.'

Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman KCMG CBE

'Storr has produced a clarion call for action which I hope will be listened to by the British Army. Ignoring the issues raised will lead to failure, and the future British Army is too small to get a second chance.'

Lieutenant General Robert Baxter CBE
