Being in a team is like being in the same boat, and working is like rowing. Everyone is in the same boat, the goal is the same, the heart is thinking in one place, the strength is in one place, forming a joint force, the ship can move quickly towards the predetermined goal. If each has his own opinions, and rows in his own direction, the boat can spin in place and not move forward half a step. What's more, if they dismantle each other, there will be a danger of capsizing. A hundred years of repairs can be crossed in the same boat. It is a kind of fate that the comrades in the team can get together to work, and we must cherish the time we spend working together, work together, and make a career.

"Sun Tzu" is a military book written by Sun Wu, a famous military strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was respected by later generations of military artists, and was known as the "Holy Book of Military Science", and was placed at the top of the "Seven Books of Wujing". This traditional Chinese art of war has been translated into English, French, German, Japanese, etc., and has become an internationally renowned model of military science.

In "Sun Tzu: Nine Lands", the story of "helping in the same boat" is told: "The Fu Wu people and the Yue people are also evil, when they are in the same boat, when they meet the wind, their rescue is also like their left and right hands." "Someone asked Sun Wu, how to use soldiers to be undefeated? Sun Wu replied that the formation should be used to counter the hunter like a snake, and the serpentine formation could be taken care of as a whole. Sun Wu said that the people of Wu and the people of Yue are mortal enemies, but if they cross the river in the same boat, they can cooperate with each other like their left and right hands when they encounter wind and waves, not to mention ordinary soldiers?

Indeed, if we work together and cooperate with each other, we will sail on the water and chop the waves; If they fight separately and dismantle each other, they will spin in place and it will be difficult to move an inch. "Being in a team is like being in the same boat, and working is like rowing." Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that "we must be good at pooling the wisdom of the party committee, several major teams and cadres at all levels, so that we can do not take care of everything, divide labor without separating families, and let go without letting go." At the beginning of 2016, Xi Jinping made important instructions on the study of the "Working Methods of Party Committees", requiring the leadership of Party committees (Party groups) at all levels to review this classic work. The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee issued a circular demanding that the "Working Methods of the Party Committee" be included in the content of the study and education of "two studies and one work." After a lapse of 67 years, a classic document has re-entered people's field of vision, not only because it was written by great men, but more importantly, because it revealed the methodology. At the beginning of this article, it was pointed out that "party committee secretaries should be good at being 'squad leaders'" and should be "good at handling the relationship between themselves and committee members." He went on to explain that "if this 'group of people' does not move in an orderly manner, they should not want to lead millions of people to fight and build," and "all members of the party committee should inform each other of what they know and communicate with each other." In this classic document of less than 3,000 words, emphasizing team unity can be said to be a consistent theme, which is also the deep meaning of Xi Jinping's request for party committees at all levels to review the classics.

Xi Jinping explained the abstract truth with concrete things, and used the boating to help each other in the same boat, which is a metaphor for the leadership team to unite and cooperate, revealing that an important way to do a good job in the work of the party committee team is to "cooperate" because of "harmony", and know how to work together, unite and cooperate.

Whether the leadership group is united or not determines whether the leadership group has cohesion, creativity, and combat effectiveness. "As the secretary of the party committee, we must take care of everything, not all-encompassing, and learn to 'play the piano'", "A good leadership group must be good at unity and cooperation", "unity is an important issue in the construction of the team, and stressing unity is a manifestation of stressing politics and taking the overall situation into account"...... Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the unity of the team, which is precisely to prevent the party committee team from disagreeing with each other and doing its own thing, to avoid the party organization being scattered and weak, and to ensure that the party committee team becomes the "core team" of the first-level party organization, with a clear division of labor and knows how to cooperate, perform its own duties and cooperate with each other, release the greatest "leadership", and let our party always become a strong leading force for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
