Human resources expert Nouf Al-Sufyani said that different management styles, whether strict or lenient, are all valid and necessary depending on the nature of the work and the tasks required of employees.

Speaking on the "Ya Hala" program aired on Rotana Khalijia, she added that it is important to distinguish between an employee and a success partner. An employee is someone with specific skills who is trained to perform certain tasks, and must master their work—this is where strictness is effective.

Al-Sufyani emphasized the importance of discipline when managing a large group of workers who are required to follow a certain approach and perform efficiently.

She continued that in companies where employee competence is the main driver of business, regardless of their specialty, the employee and their skills are the company’s main asset. If the company loses such an employee, it loses business; therefore, a kind and flexible management style is needed in these cases.
