Chapter 007 is truth-seeking and realistic

As the deputy secretary of the party affairs of a province, a large part of Xiao Chen's current responsibilities lie in how to do a good job in cadre work, so the articles he published in "Seeking Truth" and "Weishi" are in line with his identity.

At the same time, as the youngest deputy ministerial-level cadre in the country, he also needs to make more people realize through this article: not only look at his age, but also look at what he has done over the years. A leading cadre, no matter how old you are and how old you are, you have never made any achievements, and you are only mediocre, in vain to pay the blood and sweat of taxpayers. On the other hand, no matter how young or experienced a leading cadre is, but there are one that can be seen and calculated, and the country and the people benefit from it, what does it matter about age?

Another point is that Xiao Lao was the most simple cadre during his lifetime, and "not only books, not only the top, but only the truth" is the belief he insisted on all his life. As the successor of Xiao Lao's political ideas, Xiao Chen also has to show his attitude to a large part of the party. It is for these reasons that this article is born.

Further down, Xiao Chen still explained in a plain way how to do a good job as a leading cadre who "does practical things": Sixth, to get things done, you must be skillful. As the saying goes: "If you don't cut wood, you will die of woodcutters." In actual work, there are often some leading cadres who are very enthusiastic about their work, but they do things contrary to their wishes, and the phenomenon of "losing their wives and losing their soldiers" often occurs. Here, a particularly important reason is that they are brutal and will not be skillful. When we talk about "skillful," we mean acting according to science, dialectics, and objective laws. If you want to get things done, you can't do it without talking about "ingenuity", and you can't do things without a scientific attitude. Here, the accomplishment refers to "skill", which essentially refers to the scientific spirit, scientific method, scientific strategy, and scientific attitude, that is, the scientific concept of development. In order to be a "skillful" officer in the officer, generally speaking, it covers the following three connotations.

One is a science. Science comes from "skill", because practice can produce "skill", and "skill" can be sublimated. The scientific spirit is often derived from the word "qiao", generated and interpreted. It is very necessary to use the scientific outlook on development to dominate the overall situation and dominate everything. At present, the reason why science is emphasized in the process of getting things done is because only by looking at things, situations, and contradictions from a scientific viewpoint can we have an overall situation, objectivity, and regularity, can we grasp the attributes, essence, and laws of the existence of things, and can we have a pertinence, reality, and initiative in our work. In our work, we should look at both numbers and quality, output and input, growth and innovation, efficiency and environment, the immediate and long-term, the economy and social progress, and so on. The fiery practice has made people realize that the new changes on the land of China originate from the guidance of the scientific concept of development; The achievements have strengthened people's confidence in implementing the scientific concept of development; The existing problems show the urgency of implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development. Only by guiding our work and undertaking business with the scientific outlook on development can we effectively shift economic and social development onto the track of scientific development and achieve sound and rapid development of the national economy.

The second is a kind of law. Where is the skill? It is "skillful" in the combination of people's subjective consciousness and the law of development of objective things. "Skillful" officers must understand the law, grasp the law, follow the law, and control the law to transform the subjective and objective world. Guided by the scientific outlook on development, we should use theoretical thinking, with the help of the power of logic and scientific abstraction, to carry out analysis and research on the objective situation by removing the crude and the refined, removing the false and retaining the true, from this and the other, from the surface to the inside, so as to form a rational understanding of the nature and laws of things. Only by improving their theoretical quality can leading cadres make their thinking comprehensive and profound, enhance their insight, penetration, and penetration of objective things, enhance their initiative, scientificity, and foresight in their work, and ensure that they take the overall situation into account, make overall plans, and distinguish between important and urgent matters, so that rational understanding can play an important guiding role in practical activities. Leading cadres must vigorously guard against reckless behavior of acting on the basis of subjective will and personal experience, and vigorously guard against rash and rash behavior of rushing up, uniformity, one-size-fits-all, and a gust of wind. In this way, we can not only follow the law, but also control the law, be the master of the development of the law, and let the law be used and served by us. In this way, our ability to get things done will be stronger, bigger, and more sufficient.

The third is a shortcut. In the past, why did we exert a lot of effort in our work but achieved little success, and even suffered many hardships, detours, and failures. The reason is that he left the "skillful work" at work. Skillful officials are not only in the word "skillful", but also through the use of the word "skillful", so that it can move towards less input, more output, low cost, high efficiency, less time, short cycle, fast speed, high quality track, showing a good and rapid development of the economy of good, excellent, beautiful, good situation and effect, so that our work less detours, dangerous roads, hard roads, to achieve the simplest, most intuitive, the fastest shortcut.

Seventh, in order to get things done, we must do big and small things. As far as leading cadres who are able to do things are concerned, there is a conspicuous sign that they are able to do both big and small things, grasp and do big and small things together, and be able to do it well and effectively. Among the leading cadres, some are capable, adept, and hard at working hard to accomplish great things, believing that great things have a high degree of knowledge of the people, remarkable achievements, and great prestige, which are conducive to personal fame in one fell swoop, so they are willing to do great things. For doing small things, I feel insignificant, a small thing, anyone can do it, and can do it well. So I don't want to do small things. Small things and big things are all things that benefit the people, and doing it well and doing it well are all political achievements, and they must be done well. Moreover, big and small things are connected and interact. Those who do not do small things well are generally said to have difficulty in doing big things. As a qualified leading cadre, we must be effective in major matters and small things. Small things and big things can be done, and there are three mental states reflected here. Here it is:

One is an obligation. It's important to do big things, and it's important to do small things. **People are for the people, and things that are beneficial to the people must be done no matter how big or small, which is the obligation and duty of a public servant of the people. Today, when the CPC Central Committee stresses the importance of paying attention to the people's livelihood, it should grasp the success of big and small things as a major matter for the benefit of the people. Leading cadres should have the ability to accelerate scientific development and let the masses have the reality of "people's prosperity"; Improve the security system, so that the masses have a sense of "people's enjoyment"; Care about political demands, so that the masses have a "people's music" realm. The ancients said: Enlightenment is true; Breaking the sexual trap is the real news. All the gains and successes in life lie in doing things for the people. In the process of accomplishing things, we should have less of the habit of admiring vanity and vanity, and be more subconscious of seeking truth and the true feelings of the common people, and really bury our heads and intentions, be honest, deep and practical, do practical things without much publicity, fulfill our obligations, and build a harmonious and comprehensive well-off society that does not contain water, benefits to the people, and is recognized in the eyes of the heart.

The second is a kind of responsibility. Why is it emphasized that leading cadres should accomplish both big and small things? Because doing big things and small things is a kind of responsibility that a sense of responsibility requires us. The officials of the people, no matter how big or small, have the responsibility to benefit one party; The people's affairs, no matter how big or small, are done well. The key to government lies in pragmatism and implementation. Patience is the guide on the road to success, confidence is the call to never give up, enthusiasm is the xiōng of the successful, ambition is the sword to drive away difficulties, and responsibility is the inevitable to success. As a leading cadre, the higher the standard for fulfilling responsibilities, the higher the value of his life, and stressing responsibility reflects the value of life and reflects the meaning of life. Duty and peace of mind, pregnancy and happiness in suffering, this is a profound and simple human experience. By fulfilling one's due responsibilities, happiness will come uninvited in the midst of hard work, and make ordinary work noble and glorious. "Don't suffer from helplessness, only fear of unintentionality". A person's knowledge, ability, and talent are important, but the sense of responsibility is even more important. Leading cadres must bear in mind that power is given by the party and the people, and responsibility is to serve the country, the people, and society. Position is not a prominent official title, but a synonym for responsibility; The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility; Responsibility is more important than position. Therefore, it is necessary to have a high sense of responsibility and do a good job in the big and small things among the masses.

The third is a kind of dedication. Why are many leading cadres able to do a good job in the big and small things in their work? The answer is only two words, "dedication". Dedication is to fulfill one's duties, be willing to work hard, have the courage to forge ahead, work hard, advance in the face of difficulties, and strive selflessly. The professionalism of leading cadres has a direct bearing on "doing things in a down-to-earth manner, and achieving success in their work." Whether or not a leading cadre has a down-to-earth professional spirit is an important criterion for judging whether a leading cadre is competent or not. If the work style is not realistic, the standard is not high, the motivation is not high, and the sense of responsibility is not strong, let alone solving the problem, even if there is no problem, there will be problems. Countless facts have repeatedly shown that dedication is an important prerequisite and guarantee for doing a good job and achieving a career. Dedication is always closely linked to a strong sense of professionalism and dedication. If a person has professionalism, he can eliminate sīyù, purify his mind, be indifferent to fame and fortune, forge ahead, and make a difference; We can always maintain vigorous, high-spirited and upright. Without dedication, nothing will be possible. Because behind the dedication is Jingye, and behind the dedication is the boutique. For a unit and a collective, dedication can enhance cohesion, give birth to combat effectiveness, and inspire people. Everyone has a strong sense of professionalism, there is nothing that cannot be done, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. For a person, dedication is a spiritual pillar and noble pursuit. Only those who have a high degree of professionalism in their careers, and those who downplay the pleasures of material gains and losses, can achieve their careers and be proud of the world.

8. To get things done, you must be able to do things. It is a skill, a method, an art, and a strategy. The process of getting things done is complex, intricate, and changeable, and there will be a lot of old problems here, and there will be a lot of new contradictions, and sometimes there will be a phenomenon of intersection and staggering of new and old problems, which will add a lot of difficulty, difficulty, and strength to doing things. We emphasize that we must be able to do things well, and we should firmly grasp three points here:

The first is the working method. The secretary of the council is capable of getting things done, and it emphasizes scientific methodology. The responsibility of the leader is to make decisions, and the correctness and effectiveness of decision-making are closely related to whether the leadership method is scientific. How can we adapt our leadership approach to getting things done? Generally speaking, in leadership activities, what leaders can actually follow for objective laws and dialectics is scientific leadership; The art of leadership is the art of leadership that can be skillfully and creatively applied to the laws and dialectics of leadership. Today, in order to get things done, leading cadres must properly handle the relationships between the main and the secondary, the first and the last, the internal and the external, the dynamic and the static, the fast and the slow, the urgent and the slow, the contention and the concession, the cold and the heat, the rigid and the soft, the soft and the hard, the loose and the tight, the advance and the retreat, the detour and the straight, the release and the receiving, and the coarse and the fine, and so on, and they must also properly handle the contradictions between the overall situation and the partial, between the centralized and the decentralized, between the direct and the indirect, between the centralized and the democratic, between the general and the individual, and between the precise and the ambiguous. Correctly understanding and handling these dialectical relationships, or complementing each other on the contrary, grasping the balance and the heat, overcoming the "overreach," and achieving the right degree are the scientific methodology of leadership.

The second is practical ability. Being able to get things done is a manifestation of leadership. It is conceivable that it is difficult for an incompetent leader to get things done. What does it depend on to be able to do things and get things done? It is to rely on the work ability of the leader. The ability of a leader is a combination of externalizing the internal comprehensive quality and ideological level into effective action. Goethe, Heine and Schopenhauer clearly discussed the relationship between the level of thought and the ability to act, and they respectively pointed out: "All abilities must be nourished by knowledge, so that they can have the power to display their talents." Thought precedes action, just as lightning precedes thunder. But "thoughts written on paper are nothing but footprints left by walkers on the desert". Emerson of the United States also said: "The so-called ability is that it is difficult to do anything." As a leader, you must not only have a high level of awareness, but also have a strong ability to act and be good at getting things done. In terms of the role of capacity, when crossing a river, ability is a bridge; When going upstairs, the ability is a ladder; When rowing, the ability is a pulp; When pioneering, ability is a pickaxe. In this regard, we must be diligent in learning and accumulate "potential energy" in learning; Have the courage to practice and increase "instinct" in practice; Dare to innovate and tap "potential" in innovation; Be good at summarizing and improve "internal energy" in the summary; Be willing to dedicate and exert "heat energy" in dedication, only in this way can we govern for the people and enhance cohesion; Strengthen the overall function and enhance the combat effectiveness; Improving leadership practices and driving force; Establish a good image and enhance influence.

The third is management wisdom. To get things done, you must be able to do things, it is a kind of display and display of wisdom. It is a well-known truth that without a wise man cannot accomplish things. Wisdom nurtures potential, carries strength, and highlights charm. Liu Bowen said in the chapter "Intelligence": "The tiger has sharp teeth and claws, and its strength is not known how many times that of a human being, but" The tiger eats people uncommonly, and the skin of the tiger often sleeps, why? Because "the tiger is strong, the man uses wisdom". This fully illustrates the importance of "wisdom" in getting things done. A leader must have a level, be thoughtful, and have wisdom. In his book "Effective Managers", Drucker pointed out: "Generally speaking, managers must have good intelligence, good imagination and good knowledge." In order to be able to do things and get things done, leaders must be superior in political quality, one step ahead of others in theoretical study, and superior in knowledge reserves.

9. In order to get things done, there must be no accidents. Cadres should be officers, and officials should be clean; When the officer gets things done, the pure heart comes first. The book of Proverbs says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for the fruit of life is from the heart." Pure heart is the purification of the soul, the heart is pure and not greedy, the heart is pure and not occupying, and the heart is pure and not dirty. Those whose hearts are not pure, whose minds are full of distracting thoughts, who want to gain benefits all day long, who fight for others, who fight openly and secretly, and who harm others and benefit themselves, will not be able to accomplish the cause entrusted by the party and the people. It is necessary to stress both diligence and honesty, combine diligence and honesty, and truly grasp oneself and be clean and innocent for officials. So, what does this requirement mean that nothing happens to get things done?

One is a principle. If you do something and don't have an accident, you must do everything according to the principle. There are rules in the world and the world, and there are principles in life. As the saying goes, first set the rules and then do things, with the rules are easy to do, according to the rules to do good things, this is the interpretation of the principle, but also fully illustrate the importance of adhering to the principle to do things. Leading cadres must be upright, upright, have normal interactions, seek legitimate profits, handle affairs in a regular manner, and live a serious life; they must unswervingly adhere to principles, not deviate from the standards of implementation, not change in the performance of their duties, and not relax in observing discipline. In our work, we should resolutely not do anything that does not conform to the principles and regulations, resolutely do not do anything that does not conform to the scope of our authority, and resolutely do not do anything that does not conform to laws and regulations. Only by adhering to this principle can we avoid accidents in the process of doing things, and can we be both clean and clean.

The second is a kind of party spirit. Doing things without accidents is a flash of party spirit. Stressing party spirit refers to maintaining consistency with the party Central Committee and establishing firmness in ideals and beliefs, concepts of purpose, work style, and discipline. The issue of party spirit comes from the guiding ideology, organizational principles, organizational discipline, work style, ideological and moral cultivation of the party, and is the foundation of people's life, the key to governance, the soul of life, and the foundation of victory. Since the day of its founding, our party has consistently attached importance to the issue of party spirit and grasped the building of party spirit, and has taken the enhancement, maintenance, upholding, and strengthening of party spirit as the central link, central task, and central mission of improving the political quality of party members, especially party members and cadres, and has put into practice the cultivation of party spirit among party members, and persisted in grasping it frequently, repeatedly, and unremittingly, and never slackening or slackening. Today, although great changes have taken place in the situation, tasks, environment, and conditions facing our party, the party's program, ideals and beliefs, party spirit principles, and purpose and concept have not changed; moreover, the more reform and opening up are in the stage of in-depth development, our party is soberly aware that the more necessary it is to strengthen the tempering of party spirit, the more it must strengthen the cultivation of party spirit, and the more it must strengthen the party's ability to govern. We should stress the party spirit in the process of doing things, because the party spirit is determined by our ability to do things, and if we do things without the party spirit, we will lose our banner, direction, and soul. It should be noted that the reason why some leading cadres have accidents in the course of their work is that the party spirit is not strong. Because once you relax the cultivation of party spirit and your hands and feet are not clean, you will have itchy hands and red eyes as soon as you see personal interests, and you will be greedy and fishing, and your hands and feet will be busy non-stop, and you will not be able to pass the level of integrity. If it is light, the waist board cannot be stiffened, and when encountering undesirable phenomena such as "soft mouth" and "short hands", they dare not speak, touch, or grasp, let alone appeal, influence and persuasion; The heavier, the more the hope grows, the greater the courage, the longer the hand is stretched, the more you want to fish, the more greedy you are, and finally you go to crime, pushing yourself into the abyss of ruin. Therefore, leading cadres must control their own hands and feet in the course of their work, behave in an upright manner, be clean and clean officials, and be worthy of the party, the people, and themselves.

The third is a kind of morality. If there is no accident in the office, it is a good moral character that plays a role. Moral character refers to strengthening ideological and moral cultivation, living a decent life, having a healthy temperament, pursuing a noble spirit, and establishing a new style. The one who has the heart, Ben also; Ben, Deya. If you are not virtuous, your heart is not right, and if your heart is not right, your anger is not right. As far as leading cadres are concerned, only by being able to uphold their morality and be able to do their jobs are competent, their words can reach their meanings, their books can be written, their achievements can convince them, and their physical abilities can bear their responsibilities. Here, it is particularly important to "be virtuous". The ancients said: "Cultivate one's mind and govern one's body, and then you can govern the world." "Hundred lines are headed by virtue", etc., here refers to the principle of being a person and an official, and cultivating oneself in virtue. All the moral qualities of leading cadres are derived from virtue. In the final analysis, the main focus is on official morality. Be an official first, be a man first, and be a man first; Virtue is the foundation of officials, and it is the first to cultivate virtue for officials. No matter what the circumstances, leading cadres must look down on their personal fame and fortune, advance and retreat, honor and disgrace, and detach themselves from it, like the ancients, "to stay without intention, and to see the huā open and fall in front of the court; Don't be shocked by the humiliation, look at the clouds in the sky". "Add without reason and do not forgive, and come suddenly without being surprised". If the career is successful, not complacent and forgetful; Personal progress, not self-appreciation, proud; No matter how great an individual's political achievements are, he must regard his own role as very small and keep in mind that the masses are the real heroes. We must always adjust our mentality, grasp ourselves, go to entrepreneurship, move forward in a down-to-earth manner, and always work with a high attitude and first-class work standards to seek responsibility and make more contributions.

10. To get things done, you must be able to work together. The basic duty of leading cadres is to do things. Only by doing things can we continue to find and solve problems; Only by getting things done can we effectively promote development and bring tangible benefits to the masses of the people. If you don't do it, you don't have the slightest bit of Marxism, however, you will inevitably face all kinds of contradictions, and you need to gather wisdom and strength from all sides to get things done. Therefore, being good at working together in unity is also an indispensable quality and ability for leading cadres. To be able to work together in the process of doing things, what about those ideas?

One is a kind of xiōng bosom. Being able to work together in doing things, being able to work together here is about unity, about being good at unity, and also about being able to work together. The ancients said: "If a thousand people are of one heart, they will get a thousand manpower; If there are hundreds of different hearts, no one will use them." Unity is not only a quality, but also a ability. Unity produces righteousness, strength, political achievements, cadres, and productive forces. complement each other's stage, and the show is continuous; Dismantle each other and cross the stage together. As far as leading cadres are concerned, understanding unity is great wisdom, knowing how to unite is a great ability, and true unity is a great realm. On the issue of unity, one can best see one person xiōng huai. xiōng huai is a kind of belly quantity, called benevolent belly quantity; It is a kind of bearing, it is the bearing of adults; It is a demeanor, the demeanor of the elderly; It is a kind of morality, and it is the virtue of a generous person. Xiōng Huai broadness is the cultivation of character, the cultivation of nature, the embodiment of quality, and the release of virtue. Leaders with generosity often contain a strong attraction, gathering strength and achieving careers; Narrow-minded leaders often have an invisible repulsion, and over time, they will lose the people and become a loner. Therefore, Xunzi once said: "A gentleman is virtuous and can tolerate it, he can tolerate foolishness, he can tolerate shallowness, and he can tolerate miscellaneous." For us, we must not measure and demand the people around us with harsh standards, we must be kind to others' consciousness, treat others well, start from the desire to unite, unite everyone to work together, and succeed in the cause we are engaged in.

The second is a strategy. Stressing the overall situation, working together, and unity is a strategy, and we should also stress strategy. Without a strategy, a lack of strategy, and a lack of strategy, it is difficult to do a good job of unity. To do things, we must be able to work together, which embodies a strategy, and the correct use of strategy can achieve the purpose of working with others. Working together is a kind of resonance of the heart, a kind of integration of hearts, and a unity of goals. In the final analysis, it is about strategy. As the leader of the government, it is inevitable to face various complex situations, or think húnluàn, which is difficult to unify; or people's hearts fluctuate, and it is difficult to stabilize; or work on the head, which is difficult to deal with; or financially constrained, difficult to operate; or frequent disasters, difficult to expand, etc. All these require the principal leading cadres to be sensitive, discerning, calm and composed, and strategic, and all the more necessary to make decisions and handle them appropriately, so as to discover and solve problems in a timely manner. The more complicated the situation, the more necessary it is to distinguish between truth and falsehood, distinguish right from wrong, grasp the direction, and take the overall situation into account, so that the contradictions can be quickly and effectively suppressed and resolved, and a new situation in work can be constantly created. Here, as long as the strategy is in xiōng, you can deal with all kinds of complex situations and get things done.

The third is a kind of personality. Whether we can work together and get things done, there is a personality issue here. It is necessary to obey superiors without blindness, and from above not only to the top; Do not dismantle the Taiwan at the same level, and work together in advance; do not protect the subordinates, support them do not connive; Get along with comrades, work together without distraction, make meritorious contributions without competing for merit, do your best and spare no effort, and understand without misunderstanding. We should be sincerely happy with the success of our comrades, and we should not be jealous; We should kindly and enthusiastically help comrades in their mistakes and deficiencies, and here there is a question of personality. Personality charm is an image that can give people a wordless education; It is a kind of power that can inspire and spur people; It is a kind of example, which can give people demonstration and guidance. It is a special quality of life for personality. This is because other defects can be compensated for by personality, while defects in personality are difficult to make up for with others. We must be both good people and capable people; We must not only do good deeds, but also have the ability; It is necessary to talk about both dedication and contribution. Impersonal is desirable here. "I'd rather let people than let me go; Let others tolerate me rather than let them tolerate me; It is better to suffer the loss of others than to let others suffer the loss of mine". To make a tree shade for people, to make a stone for people to rest, and to make a well for people to quench their thirst is the nobility of personality. Even those who do not feel that they are noble have perfected their personality. Among the officers, leading cadres should clearly recognize the word "power", attach importance to "personality", write the word "person" correctly, treat the word "I" as small, memorize the word "study" firmly, enlarge the word "dry", make use of the word "wisdom", and cultivate both internally and externally, so as to achieve a noble personality and realm, unite comrades, work with one heart and one mind, and march forward victoriously!
