Abstract

This article argues that managers in the South African public service require specific leadership skills to enhance service delivery. The slow pace of service delivery by many South African public service organisations suggests that such organisations have experienced crises due to the lack of leadership at the top, and at best the presence of only some elements of managerial leadership are the most important issues facing the South African public service. The importance of strengthening leadership capability in the South African public service is highlighted. Thus, leadership training and development of managers should be a high priority in the South African public service.
