His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam on Tuesday stressed on the importance of leadership that is honest and fair, instead of prioritising their own self-interest over the betterment of their organisation, including the welfare of its officers and staff.
The monarch said this in a titah during a visit to His Majesty the Sultan’s Flight (HMSF) in Rimba, adding that the lack of leadership is a source of stress in the workforce. As such, aberrant management practices ought to be stamped out immediately, he said.
His Majesty believes that the workforce “plays a crucial role” in an organisation, thus employee welfare must be the focus, with career progression and skills development given due attention.
