"Acting according to the good script prescribed by the leader?" Zhao Changfeng asked.

"Yes, you have to act according to the script prescribed by the leader." Zhang Qian said: "As long as you follow the project specified by the leader, no matter what the result is, your task will be successfully completed." ”

"But it's good that you made your own decisions after you got down, abandoned the poverty alleviation project arranged by Director Tao for Liangyazi Township, and introduced some scenic spot project development with ingenuity. Although the results proved that you were right and helped the people of Liangyazi Township to get rid of poverty smoothly, these things were all made by yourself, and they were not what Director Tao meant at all. If you do these things and don't get results, Director Tao will laugh at you at most for not doing your best, and he won't target you well. But you made this set of prosperity by yourself, and in the end, it was not only erected as a model by the province, but also appeared in the people's newspaper and the provincial TV station. Xiao Zhao, have you thought about it, the greater the achievements you do, the more it highlights the incompetence of Director Tao's poverty alleviation plan previously arranged. So can Director Tao not be angry with you? Leaders would rather have an obedient subordinate who doesn't produce results than a subordinate who can do things but don't obey. Besides, Xiao Zhao, even if you come up with the idea of developing the scenic spot, you have to report to Director Tao and seek his consent, as long as he agrees, he will have the credit for these achievements, so if you do it again, no matter if you do it well or badly, Director Tao will not blame you. ”

Zhao Changfeng said in his heart, it's not that I don't want to report to Director Tao, it's just that I reported a hydropower project before, and it was approved by Director Tao, how dare I give my opinion again? Besides, I had selfish intentions about this scenic development project, and the less people knew about it, the better, so how could I report it to Director Tao? It's just that I didn't expect this trace of selfishness to bring so much harm to myself.

"However, when I was making speeches, making reports, making summaries, and writing materials, I mentioned the correct decision-making and command of the bureau leaders, and I relied on them for the achievements of poverty alleviation. These things have their merits! Zhao Changfeng said, "What they didn't do, I leaned on them for these things, aren't they still happy?" ”

Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Bureau leaders rarely have such feats." Because they feel that these merits are not properly named, as if you had given them alms. The happiest thing for leaders is to lead in person, and it is most enjoyable to lead in person! ”

"What is the most enjoyable thing to lead in person?" Zhao Changfeng was stunned and said, "Zhang Qian, what does it mean to lead in person?" ”

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, you don't understand this, right?" In the eyes of leaders, the word 'leadership' is honor, but honor is divided into grades, for example, 'leadership' is a grade, 'correct leadership' is a grade, and 'wise leadership' is another grade, but these honors and grades are not as good as 'personal leadership'. ”

Zhao Changfeng listened attentively, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qian, a secondary school student who graduated from a judicial school, was two years younger than him, and he could summarize the affairs of officialdom so thoroughly.

Zhang Qian continued: "If the leader does nothing, those things and credits are attributed to the leader, which is the result of the leader's 'correct leadership'. But for some leaders, you have to attribute the things he didn't do, and he feels a little ironic. Why, you're saying that I sit in the office and do nothing, and it's my credit for what I do, right? Then I'll roll up my sleeves and go on the field to let you see. I did it myself, and if I did these things well, it was naturally my real ability, whether it was the people below or other leaders who saw it, I couldn't say anything, it was impeccable, after all, I did it myself. ”

"Therefore, leaders with a bit of taste like to come to the scene to 'lead in person'. For example, if a few students are called to dig a pit, a few cadres are asked to bring a small tree, and then the leader goes to the site to bury a shovel of soil, this can be called 'under the personal leadership of the leader, the place has changed its appearance, and the mountains and rivers have been rearranged'; of course, these belong to pediatrics, and the difficulty is relatively small, and most leaders with good taste like to do something more difficult. For example, the poverty alleviation of Liangyazi Township, this is a poverty-stricken township that is registered in the whole province, and what can be better than the real credit of Liangyazi Township to get rid of poverty? Therefore, Director Tao worked tirelessly in Liangyazi Township for more than a week, and then worked out a poverty alleviation plan and set several poverty alleviation projects. But it's better for you to push Director Tao's plan aside after you go, and start a scenic area development project by yourself, and you didn't talk to Director Tao beforehand. Now that it's done, you attribute these credits to Director Tao, does Director Tao appreciate it? What will the directors of the bureaus, deputy directors, and the leaders of other departments think of Director Tao? Will he be laughed at for the flashiness of his previous plans? Do you think that you are taking the credit for Liang Yazi Township's poverty alleviation on him, and he is snatching the fruits of victory? ”

"In short, Xiao Zhao, you have made Director Tao very embarrassed." Zhang Qian said: "Director Tao is embarrassed, can he say good things about you in front of the directors?" And the attitude of the directors is basically the same as that of Director Tao. The most important thing in doing things in an organ is to pay attention to organizational discipline and to listen to the words of the organization and the leaders. Therefore, if you have made achievements now, but you have not listened to the leader, in the eyes of the leader, you are tantamount to making a serious mistake in direction! ”

"Wrong name?" Zhao Changfeng said with a sad face: "Zhang Qian, your statement even reminds me of the slogan in the Cultural Revolution, I would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism." ”

Zhang Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhao, that's pretty much what it means." Let's give you another example, just like Chinese football, although the national team can't always get out of the line, although the black whistle in the league is endless, although there are constantly fans making trouble, but because the chairman of the Chinese Football Association is standing in defending the interests of the National Sports Commission from beginning to end, and resolutely implements the opinions of the leaders of the Sports Commission, so the national team is defeated and then feared that the Korean League will match the ball and the black whistle players will fight and the fans will make trouble, as long as he can please the superior leaders, all this has nothing to do with him. Because as with all things in Chinese officialdom, no matter what the results are, as long as the ass is right, as long as the attitude is consistent with the leader, then you are right, and you can get the favor of the leader. ”

This truth is like the Ming Dynasty eunuch father-in-law taking the sword of Shang Fang to the front-line troops to supervise the army. If he was hacked to death by the enemy or by his own soldiers, then the court would posthumously recognize him as a martyr. If he is lucky enough not to be hacked to death, no matter whether he wins or loses the battle, he will be promoted several levels in a row when he comes back, and even become the chief eunuch, because he has always been on the emperor's side. ”

"However, Governor Zhao personally commended me, the director of the high-speed rail of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office also erected me as a model of poverty alleviation, the People's Daily also published my deeds, and the Provincial TV Station and the Central Plains Daily also reported my poverty alleviation experience one after another." Zhao Changfeng said: "In this case, the bureau leaders should also consider the influence of public opinion, right? They can't deny all my achievements because I didn't follow their poverty alleviation plan and didn't act according to the script they prescribed, right? ”

Zhang Qian smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Zhao, the bureau didn't deny your results!" On the contrary, they attached great importance to it, and specially convened a commendation meeting for poverty alleviation work attended by the overall cadres, at which they commended you in a high-profile manner and called on the overall cadres to learn from you. Isn't that high enough? Isn't this an affirmation of your achievements in poverty alleviation? ”

"But," Zhang Qian's words changed, "Honor is only honor, no matter how high the honor is given to you, those things are all false." As long as the honor does not bring you actual benefits, then these honors are like the certificate you got when you went to school, in addition to sticking it on the wall for others to see and praise you, even the amount of waste paper is too small to be worth receiving! ”

"So, all the honors that the bureau can give you are given. Then Director Tao just said a sentence softly at the cadre assessment and review meeting, and did not obey the leader's arrangement. All your credit goes to zero, or even becomes negative. This has become the final result of your one-year career in poverty alleviation in the countryside. ”

Zhao Changfeng let out a long sigh and said, "Teacher Zhang Qianzhang, thank you. I get it thoroughly! It seems that this time the Finance Office arranged for me to continue to work as a cashier. It is reasonable that the personnel department did not promote me exceptionally, because I have little to do and do not know the unspoken rules of the agency. ”

Zhang Qian saw that Zhao Changfeng was a little disheartened, so she comforted: "Xiao Zhao, there is nothing." This is just your first step in the agency, and there will be many opportunities in the future. The next time you have the opportunity, you should pay attention and never make similar mistakes again. ”

"I know, I won't do it again next time!" Zhao Changfeng nodded, and then said, "Zhang Qian, where did you hear these things?" You've only been in the agency for a year longer than I am! ”

Zhang Qian said: "These are all instilled in me by my father all day long. ”

"Oh? Zhang Qian, your father must be a leader. How else would he know so much? ”

Zhang Qian grinned and said, "Confidential!" ”
