In the phrases of former Film Association of Malawi (FAMA) president Sukez:

I wasn’t planning to deal with this, however after receiving quite a few messages from folks looking for readability on what transpired, right here is my evaluation. For context, Flora Suya served as my Vice President throughout my tenure but additionally General secretary Prior to my administration , however each phrases she determined to Nyanyala on the way in which and left FAMA .

I’ve seen reviews, together with one from Zodiak, claiming that she resigned as a result of her views weren’t thought of and that she wasn’t being listened to. Let’s unpack this:

1. Out of the ten govt members, why was she the one one to resign? Does that imply we solely listened to the others and ignored her?

2. This wasn’t the primary time she resigned from the affiliation. Prior to my management, she additionally resigned when she was General Secretary. Could this sample of conduct be a contributing issue to why folks didn’t vote for her? for the worry that they could be left once more?

Wherever there are a number of folks working collectively, misunderstandings are inevitable. However, what sustains a group is HUMILITY and TOLERANCE . If you at all times really feel that your perspective is the one legitimate one and demand that your views should be prioritized, frustration will comply with, and chances are you’ll find yourself feeling such as you don’t belong.

Flora is undoubtedly a proficient actress—this isn’t up for debate. However, maybe FAMA members weren’t simply on the lookout for somebody with performing expertise. They may need been looking for a frontrunner with resilience, humility, and the power to work by way of challenges somewhat than stroll away when confronted with difficulties.

I recall an occasion once I knowledgeable her about a possibility I needed to pursue additional research in USA. I suggested her that she’s going to sooner or later step up as performing President in my absence, however as an alternative, she selected to resign. This left the Vice President place vacant for over a yr earlier than we had been in a position to fill it.

Leadership requires the power to navigate disagreements and embrace the bulk’s voice, even when it goes towards your personal views. This is what democracy calls for—listening, accepting, and dealing throughout the will of the bulk.

Resilience and character are essential in group settings. KUNYANYALA—selecting to go away in frustration—is never the answer. Sometimes, it’s higher to remain, even if you don’t agree with everybody, and work in direction of creating concord throughout the group.

In conclusion, Flora Suya’s expertise isn’t in query, however management calls for greater than talent in a selected subject. It requires humility, endurance, and the power to compromise for the better good. Perhaps that is the place FAMA members made their determination. Otherwise I want her the perfect.
