Myrah K. Mashigo Releases Debut Book

As an advocate of the reform process, author Myrah K. Mashigo - Tshabalala writes a book that aims to renew mindsets, foster change of hearts and minds, and deepen adherence to the constitution - all aimed to the authorities as well as the workforce in South Africa. A call to awakening, this new book serves as a platform for everyone to make things right by joining the movement towards an improved service delivery system for the country.

As South Africa faces the enormous challenge in improving service delivery, Tshabalala's "The Crisis of Authority - Workforce Tensions: A Desperate Call for Intervention" attempts to establish the root cause of and the possible link between management weaknesses and the absence of a strong performance culture by the public servants. Having identified how inhumane and unhealthy the workplace has become, it speaks to the core responsibilities of Public Sector Managers, sets out to empower the less powered and give voice to the voiceless. It also advocates for the reflection, introspection, self-interrogation, and self-therapy in offering critical approaches to cleanse and humanize the workplace and create a quality work environment that will enable quality service the nation.

Irrefutably eye-opening and encouraging, Tshabalala's "The Crisis of Authority - Workforce Tensions: A Desperate Call for Intervention" is not only a book that points out what's wrong but also provides necessary suggestions to address the issues and make everything right.
