Klerksdorp Record, Johannesburg - Well-known sports administrator whose roots are firmly planted in Klerksdorp, Jacques Faul, launched his book, Crisis Management in Sport, at Wanderers Cricket Stadium last week.
Dr Faul, CEO at Titans Cricket, also contributed to Prof Wim Hollander and Dr Louis Nolte’s The Management of Sport of South Africa.
The book titled Crisis Management in Sport: Dealing with Challenges on and off the Field talks about the transformative journey through South African sport.
From Faul’s own experiences in managing crises to insights on crisis communication, governance, compliance, mental wellness, legal considerations, and racism in sports, each chapter provides a unique perspective - ending with a crisis management plan and an annexure featuring a crisis managing template.
Adding more local flavour to the book is a contribution by Johan van Zyl, Potch businessman and former Klerksdorp Record journalist.
