The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a team of high-quality professional cadres. Party cadres are the backbone of the cause of the Party and the country, how to understand the report on the construction of the cadre team put forward a series of new requirements? Recently, this reporter interviewed Wu Jiang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Personnel Sciences.

Adhere to the correct selection and employment orientation, correct the selection and employment atmosphere, highlight political standards

Reporter: The report once again emphasizes the good cadre standards, adheres to the correct selection and employment orientation, and correcates the selection and employment atmosphere. What do you think is the pertinence?

Wu Jiang: Since the 2013 National Organization Work Conference put forward the five standards for good cadres, the selection and employment situation and atmosphere have improved significantly, and the selection of cadres has undergone oriented changes. After nearly five years of practice, it has been proved that only by selecting good cadres can we ensure the prosperity of the party's cause and the maintenance and development of the interests of the people. In the new era, the standard of good cadres should not only be adhered to, but also be implemented. The implementation is to put good cadres to use, with a wise man, the group of wise men to, see the wise to think together will become a common practice. If we want to win a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, we especially need to boldly select cadres who dare to take responsibility and do good deeds, and we especially need the broad masses of cadres, especially leading cadres at all levels, to roll up their sleeves and work hard.

The report also has a strong practical relevance to this request. At present, there is a phenomenon of "inaction" in the contingent of cadres, and a small number of cadres have a negative mentality of "in order not to have an accident, they would rather not do anything. To solve this problem, we need to implement comprehensive policies, but the most important thing is to implement the standards of good cadres from the system, boldly select cadres who are brave in reform, are good at innovation, calm down to think about problems, and do practical things. Cadres with a strong sense of dedication and responsibility. The report proposes to "improve the cadre assessment and evaluation mechanism, establish an incentive mechanism, and a fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism." It is through the establishment of these good mechanisms to clearly support those cadres who dare to take responsibility, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and do not seek personal gain. Strictly implement the requirements of "accountability for dereliction of duty, and accountability for inaction", so as to realize the difference between doing and not doing, doing more and doing less, and doing good and bad, so as to ensure that the correct selection and employment orientation takes root.

Reporter: While adhering to the standards for cadres, the report proposes to highlight political standards. Why should we emphasize this?

Wu Jiang: The key to implementing the cadre standard is the political standard. For this reason, the report particularly emphasizes "highlighting political standards." Political standards are the core criteria for selecting and appointing people. Politically unqualified, everything is unqualified. With firm ideals and beliefs, the "King Kong's unbreakable body" can be cultivated, so that cadres can have a clear-cut stand in the face of major right and wrong, be fearless in the face of wind and waves, stand firm in the face of various temptations, and be reliable, trustworthy, and assured at critical moments.

To correct the world outlook, outlook on life, and values of cadres, we must first check the entrance of selecting and employing people. If this political barrier cannot be controlled, cadres will inevitably "take up posts with illness" and "promote with illness", so that they will embark on violations of discipline and law. The road. The report takes the "four consciousness" and "four self-confidence" as the criteria for the selection and appointment of cadres, which fully reflects the requirements of the new era of outstanding political standards. this requires cadres at all levels to consciously be firm believers and faithful practitioners of the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Let more experts in modern governance emerge in the ranks of cadres

Reporter: to build a contingent of high-quality professional cadres, why should the report highlight specialization and emphasize the cultivation of professional ability and professionalism?

Wu Jiang: since the reform and opening up, our party has proposed that the construction of the contingent of cadres and leading bodies should realize the "four modernizations" policy of "revolutionization, youth, knowledge, and specialization." among them, "specialization" means that the selection of cadres should understand the management of the economic association. it is necessary to change from a layman's leadership of "all kinds of gold" to an expert leader with "expertise. After years of hard work, the construction of the cadre team and the leadership team has made a qualitative leap in specialization. The great achievements of my country's economic construction, social development, and opening up to the outside world are all related to the improvement of the professional level of the cadre team. inseparable. However, with the increasingly fierce international competition and the new challenges brought about by the industrial revolution and technological revolution, the professional ability of some cadres can no longer meet the requirements of development. To this end, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China specifically emphasizes the cultivation of professional ability and professionalism, and enhances the ability of cadres to adapt to the development requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Reporter: how do you think should improve the professional ability and professionalism of cadres?

Wu Jiang: I believe that the professional ability and professionalism of cadres in the new era refer to the quality requirements of being able to master the required professional technology, scientific knowledge, governance methods, and innovative spirit in the development of various undertakings. This requires deepening the reform of the cadre system. Make further efforts. To this end, it should:

-- Adhering to career-oriented selection of cadres. Firmly establish the concept of "choosing people by things and choosing the right from the best", "steeds can be adventurous, and strong fields are not as good as cattle; strong cars can carry heavy loads, and crossing rivers is not as good as boats". Only by choosing people by things can we improve the level of specialization. Inspection and identification of cadres should pay attention to the professional matching of jobs, the learning and updating of business knowledge, the scientific application of working methods, and the innovative contribution to solve problems.

-Adhere to the selection of cadres from all corners of the world, unblock the communication channels between party and government agencies and enterprises and institutions, appropriately expand the post setting and appointment system ratio of professional and technical civil servants, and strengthen the employment orientation of being able to go up and down, and be able to enter and leave.

-- We should improve the training methods of cadres, explore ways for organs to cooperate with Party schools and colleges and universities in running schools, constantly enrich the knowledge reserve of cadres, improve the knowledge structure, and lay a solid professional foundation for performing their duties and responsibilities.

Young cadres should be able to go down, stay, do well and move around.

Reporter: The report proposes to vigorously discover and reserve young cadres, and focus on training and training young cadres at the grassroots level and in difficult and difficult places. What do you think of this kind of training and training for young cadres?

Wu Jiang: The report emphasizes the selection and use of outstanding young cadres who have been tested by practice. This not only respects the law of the growth of young cadres, but also points out that the selection of young cadres must adhere to the correct orientation and use the requirements of "tested by practice" to select outstanding young cadres. Young cadres are completely equated with young and highly educated cadres. In the past, when selecting young cadres, some places mechanically defined the age, educational background and other conditions, so that some young cadres who performed well in practice were brushed down. Nowadays, the academic qualifications of young cadres are no longer a problem. There are many people with high academic qualifications, but there are still many "three" cadres from home to school to government agencies. They lack the front-line touch, crawl, and fight at the grassroots level. Practical experience. Most of the young cadres go to the grass-roots level to "pier seedlings" and experience the training of major, important, urgent, and difficult matters, so that they can sharpen their conduct, increase their talents, and grow into outstanding cadres needed by the party and the people.

reporter: how should we train and select young cadres?

Wu Jiang: Young cadres are in the growth period. Although the conditions for young cadres in the growth period can be appropriately relaxed, the basic requirements cannot be lowered, and the standards for good cadres cannot be shaken, especially in politics, character, integrity, and discipline. The slightest relaxation. Whoever has a stronger party spirit in the face of major right and wrong, a stronger will in a difficult environment, a more outstanding ability in dealing with complex problems, a greater contribution to promoting economic and social development, and a better reputation among cadres and the masses will be chosen. We should also insist on a good political pass, highlighting the political standards should first be implemented in young cadres. Firm ideals are the first requirement. Whether to support the Communist Party wholeheartedly, believe in Marxism, and firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the most important. It is necessary to improve the selection of young cadres, further broaden the sources, optimize the structure, improve the methods, improve the quality, adhere to the organizational mastery, dynamic management, in and out, timely use, and maintain a pool of living water. In addition, in view of the problem that it is not easy to retain young cadres in some grass-roots and remote areas, it is necessary to formulate incentive measures and preferential policies to guide young cadres to go down, stay, do well, and move in terms of career development, rank treatment, and working and living conditions.

The contribution of cadres should be fully respected, and the achievements created should be reasonably rewarded.

Reporter: The report proposes to combine strict management and love for cadres, with equal emphasis on encouragement and restraint, especially love and encouragement. This is a topic of more concern in recent years. What do you think about this problem?

Wu Jiang: The combination of strict management and love, and equal emphasis on restraint and encouragement are the fine traditions that our party has adhered to for a long time. As early as the Yan'an period, Mao Zedong called on the whole party and the army to be good at caring for cadres, and proposed five methods of caring for cadres. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the comprehensive and strict governance of the party has achieved remarkable results in terms of restraint and won the support and support of the masses. At present, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of cadres and solve the low salary of cadres, especially the practical difficulties in the work and life of grassroots cadres, needs to be further strengthened. Therefore, the report proposes to adhere to the combination of strict management and love, with equal emphasis on encouragement and restraint, which has strong practical pertinence and guidance.

To put the requirements of loving and motivating cadres into practice, we must first face it from the ideological concept. Cadres are the precious wealth of the party and the country. Their efforts need to be respected, and their achievements need to be reasonably rewarded. The growth environment also needs care and protection. In addition, we should continue to deepen the reform of cadres' salary, welfare and reward system, and strengthen the top-level design and policy innovation of caring and encouraging cadres. In my opinion, it is not only necessary to clearly affirm and commend the cadres who are determined to forge ahead, but also to reflect the material and spiritual incentives, especially in the design of the job level, which is more flexible and flexible, and supports the cadres who are active and dare to take responsibility.
