Chapter 254: Invisible Power
The secretary is called the second chief, and he has no substantive powers!
The general secretary does not participate in specific decision-making, unless the leader takes the initiative to ask, otherwise the secretary takes the initiative to express his own opinions or opinions is taboo!
At a certain level, the secretary is the porter of the leader's thoughts, responsible for transmitting the leader's will, forming the leader's decision-making into words, and officially printing and distributing it!
So the power of the secretary is invisible in the daily work!
The first invisible power is the right to information!
Although the secretary cannot participate in decision-making, any piece of information conveyed by the secretary may be valuable!
For example, if the director of the Finance Bureau wants to come to Liu Changfei, he will usually contact Chen Qiang in advance to confirm when Liu Changfei is free, and then come over in person!
Chen Qiang can choose to tell the truth, or he can choose to tell partially, he can choose to actively inform, or he can choose to passively inform!
But Chen Qiang should never lie, because lying is a taboo for secretaries, and he may be transferred out of his job immediately after being discovered!
Chen Qiang can choose to answer in the following ways:
"District Chief Liu has a meeting in the afternoon!"
"District Chief Liu has a meeting in the afternoon, and he may be free after half past four!"
"District Chief Liu should have ten minutes before the meeting!"
"District Chief Liu may not be available today!"
"I'll report to District Chief Liu first, and see when you can come over!"
"If it's urgent, I'd recommend you come over early!"
……
……
There are many ways to answer, and although they are not lying, they are expressed differently, and the reasons and consequences are different!
That's why I try to spin my stomach three times before I say it!
How to choose how to say it is Chen Qiang's power, and the most official answer should be the penultimate one!
All other statements may be accompanied by various other factors!
The second invisible power is the priority of official documents!
The work of the leader is very busy, and a lot of basic work needs to be handled by the secretary!
For example, in the circulation of official documents, Liu Changfei's normal daily circulation of official documents is 20 to 30 copies!
There may be more than a dozen documents that need to be processed for approval!
Careful secretaries will generally circle the core content of the document in advance, and some secretaries who have been approved by the leaders may also clean up the pre-processing opinions for the leader's reference!
When the amount of documents is large and Liu Changfei is busy, which document is placed on the top and which document is placed at the back, this is a matter of attention!
To be precise, this is a kind of power, if the secretary is willing to put the documents that are not very urgent to the level of the more urgent documents, this is a kind of invisible power!
There are some particularly urgent documents, although Chen Qiang may bring them with him, he may ask Liu Changfei to deal with them at any time, such as earthquake relief documents and so on!
The third invisible power is the right to write official documents!
An important job of a secretary is to write materials, although most of the secretary's writing is used to show or convey the will of the leader, but most of the official documents and materials need Chen Qiang to write a first draft that is more in line with the leader's intention!
Such a first draft may have two sources, one is drafted by the ministry and commission, and the other is drafted by Chen Qiang himself!
Regardless of the source, the main person who finally issued the document is still the secretary!
The issuance of official documents generally requires the secretary to prepare the first draft, other secretaries to check the draft, the deputy director in charge of the review, the deputy director in charge of the secretary to review, the director of the government office to review, and the district leader to review and sign!
So there may be a lot of signatures on a piece of paper!
Among these signatories, the only one who really cares about the content and grammar is the secretary who drafts the first draft, followed by the deputy director in charge of secretarial, and the others are generally not particularly strict in their review!
The leader will only review whether the core content is in place!
Although it is impossible for a secretary to reverse right and wrong, there are too many things in the text that can be "left and right"!
It's equivalent to discretion, the pen is in your hand, how to write is reasonable!
But the principle of the secretary is not to go against the original intention, and to express the will accurately!
The fourth invisible power is the right to advise!
When the secretary reaches a certain level, the relationship between the secretary and the leader can be so intimate that the secretary can directly put forward decision-making opinions on behalf of the leader, and even hold an independent meeting to be responsible for coordinating the work!
At this time, the secretary basically has more power than the deputy director!
At this time, he should be regarded as the real No. 2 leader!
But the secretary at this time is also the most sensitive and dangerous!
At this time, the secretary is generally not far from being promoted, because he has learned quite a lot of skills and has the ability to be a leader in charge!
Giving direct advice to the leader can only neutrally put forward objective opinions, and any guided opinions will push you into the abyss!
If the leader finds that his secretary has been controlled or controlled by others, then the secretary's job is over!
The secretary must always be vigilant about his position, and he must not have the slightest transgression!
Although Liu Changfei said something in the cafeteria, he did not criticize anything by name!
But it is undoubtedly a warning, Liu Changfei did not say it directly, indicating that the problem may not be too serious, or it is just a simple reminder!
Pan Xudong is already the deputy director, and it is unlikely that Liu Changfei will warn him again, Chen Qiang naturally thinks that the meaning of Liu Changfei's words just now is related to himself!
Pan Xudong doesn't think so, he hasn't officially eaten alone with Liu Changfei for so many years, let alone received Liu Changfei's New Year's red envelope!
Chen Qiangcai and him have enjoyed the same treatment as Pan Xudong in less than two years, so Pan Xudong thinks that Liu Changfei has something to say!
Liu Changfei's sources of information are wider than Chen Qiang and Pan Xudong, and any drastic actions of Chen Qiang and Pan Xudong in their respective positions will attract Liu Changfei's attention!
Because there are always people who like to chew on the root of their tongue!
Chen Qiang later learned that a large part of Liu Changfei's buffet dinner was because of another problem of Chen Qiang!
That is, Chen Qiang unconsciously puts the documents involving the Construction Bureau in front when dealing with official documents!
Even if it is a very thick and large design scheme, Chen Qiang will put it in a more eye-catching position!
After a long time, Liu Changfei also noticed something unusual!
After Chen Qiang received the requests of Director Wang, Deputy Director Jiang, Li Cuiying, He Qingwen, and Zhao Wanting, he would generally give support in the operation of official documents, and after a long time, he left traces in Liu Changfei's impression!
Liu Changfei saw through it and didn't say it, which shows that he still has high expectations for Chen Qiang!
He felt that Chen Qiang's approach was just not mature enough, and in general, Chen Qiang was still qualified!
But what is the most real reason why Liu Changfei suddenly sent red envelopes to the two secretaries?
Was it really an idea that came to me suddenly or on the spur of the moment?
