A probable solution to this interpersonal conflict

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all your responses.

To sum it all up, I think person A can try to call for an emergency meeting with all the committee members to sort things out. He or she can first set the background of the meeting by acknowledging the current situation in the club and invite the rest of the committee to have a truthful and “non-withholding” discussion. This is also where A can share his honest feelings about this situation and let his co-workers understand his plight and concern. The success of this meeting will then depend very heavily on the tone and the setting which A will have to effectively manage and "tread meticulously".

In addition, I agree that A can quickly call for an emergency club election to elect for a suitable stand-in vice-chairperson. This will greatly relieve some of the heavy workload that a leader of club has to bear. In this sense, perhaps A would then have more time to join in for some of the social activities of the committee to build a stronger rapport between committee members.

Also, to probe further, there could be some lapses in successful delegation on A’s part during his or her helm. He or she must understand that while one can delegate some responsibility, the leader cannot give up on the ultimate accountability. There must be continuous support being provided. Then, A should also ensure the successes of the club’s activities through ongoing communication and monitoring with the provision of suitable resources and credit.
