"People who love to read "Mao Xuan", why can they always hit the nail on the head when they see the problem?”
Some people say that this is the true meaning of "it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish";Some people also say that this is a "dragon slaying technique", which hides the mysterious ...... of defeating the strong from the weak and turning the passive into the activeThere are a thousand "Mao Xuan" in the eyes of a thousand people.
But there is no doubt that "Mao Xuan" involves a lot of wisdom that starts from the deep essence and solves problems, and it is a first-class book about dealing with complex problems.
** once said: "Our party has educated an entire generation with the ideology of ***, so that we have won the victory of the revolutionary war and established the People's Republic of China." ”
1. The party committee system is an important system for the party to ensure collective leadership and prevent individual arrangement. Recently, some (certainly not all) leading organs have a strong habit of taking care of important issues on an individual basis and solving important problems on an individual basis. The resolution of important issues is not decided by the party committee meeting, but by the individual.
What is the fundamental purpose of the party committee system?
The party committee system is a system design oriented to solving major problems, and the improvement of the party committee system is to give full play to the wisdom of the crowd so that it can solve major problems related to the survival, development and growth of the organization.
When it comes to such issues, the wisdom of the individual does not cover all the attributes of everything from the inside out, and therefore cannot be resolved by a single individual or a small number of individuals on the same hand.
Three stinkers have stood up to one Zhuge Liang, and this is exactly what he said. There will be blind spots in individual cognition, but group cognition can avoid blind spots in individual cognition to a certain extent.
No matter what industry you are in, personal arrangements and one-word halls should be resolutely eliminated. No matter how big or small, we must listen to the opinions and suggestions of the team, brainstorm and respect the facts, so as to make correct decisions and policies.
2. There is no reason for the differences of opinion among the members to be resolved, and these differences are allowed to remain unresolved for a long time. What is maintained among the members of the party committee is only a formal agreement, not a substantive agreement. This situation must change.
There is an old Chinese saying: "Those who can use all their strength are invincible in the world, kindness can do good deeds, and concerted efforts can do great things." ”
As the saying goes, when people are united, Mount Tai moves. No matter what you do, only by uniting can we gather strength, and only then will there be a result of 1+1>=2, otherwise it will cause surplus and waste.
Teams that are not in harmony with each other will only become more and more centrifugal, resulting in the establishment of different factions within the organization based on different interests and attributes. The interest groups represented by different factions will inevitably be influenced by the interest groups behind them when voting on a resolution, and may lead to an unfair judgment. The so-called stance determines everything, and it is precisely this principle.
There is a saying in Liu Rong's "Habit to Say": "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world." "Only by putting an end to sectarianism and small teams within the enterprise can the giant ship of the enterprise sail quickly and orderly and consistently.
3. In the future, from the first bureau to the prefectural party committee, from the former committee to the brigade committee, as well as the military region (military branch or leading group), the party group, the party group of the mass organization, the news agency and the newspaper party group, it is necessary to establish and improve the party committee meeting system, and all important issues (of course, not irrelevant minor issues or problems that have been discussed and resolved at the meeting but only need to be implemented) must be submitted to the committee for discussion, and the members present at the meeting must fully express their opinions, make a clear decision, and then implement them separately. The same should be true for party committees below the prefectural and brigade committees.
Ministries (e.g., Propaganda Department, Organization Department), commissions (e.g., Working Committee, Women's Committee, Youth Committee), schools (e.g., Party schools), and offices (e.g., research offices) of senior leading organs should also have collective meetings of leading elements.
The party committee system is a system design oriented to solving major problems, so in the specific process of implementing relevant resolutions of the subordinates, if a set of appropriate feedback systems cannot be established, then the superiors will not be able to know the specific work of the subordinates, will lose the correct grasp of the actual situation, and will not be able to play the role of correct command and decision-making.
In order to follow the leadership principle of the minority obeying the majority, it is also necessary to clarify the specific leadership responsibilities. When everyone is responsible, it is the same as no one is responsible. The responsibility of the minority is tantamount to disobeying the principle that the minority obeys the majority.
Therefore, it is appropriate to divide the responsibilities into different levels, that is, to clarify the main responsibilities and secondary responsibilities, and to designate the main person in charge and the co-responsible person, which is a measure to give full play to and mobilize the subjective initiative of all personnel.
It is necessary to delineate the proportion of individual responsibilities according to the importance of the tasks undertaken by the individual, and the two should be within an appropriate proportional relationship, so as to avoid the occurrence of the situation of shirking responsibility and shirking the blame.
4. Of course, it must be noted that the time of each meeting should not be too long, the number of meetings should not be too frequent, and the discussion of small issues should not be indulged, so as not to hinder the work.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: wasting other people's time is seeking money and killing people. Therefore, an effective meeting is creating life for others.
In daily life, there are often various meetings. The conference work is complicated and there are many links, and negligence and mistakes may occur if you are not careful. Orderly and efficient development of conference affairs is an important guarantee for the meeting to achieve the expected results, and the quality and level of conference affairs directly affect the quality and level of decision-making and its implementation.
Parkinson's Law"Tell us that work will take up a lot of our time, and the more time we have in the face of a work task, the more time it will make people feel less urgent and stop giving it their all.
Therefore, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the meeting, it is necessary to shorten the meeting time. As long as it's reasonable, the amount of time set will work. Once you've set the time, try to reduce it to 5% to 10%. A slight sense of urgency often makes a meeting more productive.
5. Before the meeting, it is necessary to have personal consultations on complicated and important issues on which there are differences of opinion, so that the committee members can be mentally prepared, so that the decisions of the meeting will not become mere formalities or cannot make decisions.
Meetings are held to reach consensus, not to discuss issues. Failure to discuss will only reduce the efficiency of the entire company. So how to have an effective meeting, I believe the following 5 principles of effective meetings will help you.
Clarify the topic of the meeting and solve the problem. If you have a solution, I hope that everyone can express their opinions, and after the plan is determined, you will be notified that you can also open it, and there is no need to have a meeting other than that. Meetings are held to reach consensus, not to discuss issues, because there will be no results from meeting to discuss issues.
Therefore, the meeting must have a very clear theme, and all the materials around this topic must be prepared in advance, and the meeting should not be held without preparation, which is a very clear requirement.
Clarify the meeting host. Who will be the moderator of the meeting?Generally speaking, the person in charge of solving the problem is the moderator, because he is the only one who will try his best to make the meeting come to fruition. If it is not the person responsible for the issue, he will complete the meeting according to the process, but he absolutely does not care about the outcome of the meeting.
Specify 4 times for the meeting. All the times of the meeting should be agreed, and this includes 4 times: the start and end times. Time to speak. The time at which the participants reached consensus on the resolution. The time when the action plan was confirmed.
In many cases, only one decision will come out of a working meeting. This is far from enough, and we must also determine the action plan, that is, what to do and what not to do. Another thing that needs special attention is that an effective meeting is recommended to be no more than 30 minutes, and the maximum is 40 minutes.
Why is it so short?There are two reasons: first, the people who come to the meeting are basically in important positions, and the longer the meeting, the higher the cost of the company. Second, the problem-solving meeting has nothing to do with the length of time, but with the preparation. The more prepared you are, the more efficient your meeting will be, so make sure your daily meetings are short.
At the heart of the meeting was a programme of action. The purpose of the meeting was to address specific issues. Therefore, the core of the meeting was mainly about the course of action, not about ideas or problems.
The meeting was action-oriented. That is, if there is a problem, there is no need to hold a meeting, but a clear course of action. Because problem-oriented meetings are often difficult to reach consensus, time-consuming, and require multiple participants, it is not the best way to solve problems.
Know that understanding and judging the problem should be back to where the problem occurred, not in the conference room. Therefore, meetings are not the best way to solve problems.
The meeting was to draw conclusions. After the meeting, it is important to draw conclusions. If you don't make a decision, you often can't even get the meeting going, you often go off topic, you often argue and stick to your opinions, I'm afraid you won't be able to make effective decisions.
The method of meeting work is a common way for managers to work, but having a meeting can only mean that you are busy, not that the meeting is valuable. If a meeting doesn't generate value, it's meaningless, and we call it "false busyness."
6. The committees shall be divided into two types: the Standing Committee and the Plenary Session, and shall not be mixed together. In addition, it is important to note that collective leadership and individual responsibility should not be neglected. When the army is fighting and when the situation requires it, the chief has the right to deal with the situation on the spot.
Practicing the system of combining collective leadership with individual responsibility is an important issue in the party's democratic centralism and the application of the party's mass line in leadership methods.
What is a system that combines collective leadership and individual responsibility?** Comrade pointed out: "All important issues (of course, not minor issues of irrelevance or issues that have been discussed and resolved at the meeting but only need to be implemented) must be submitted to the committee for discussion, and the members present at the meeting should fully express their opinions, make a clear decision, and then implement them separately. ”
** The comrade also expounded the principle of implementing this system: "The big power is monopolized, and the small power is dispersed. The party committee decides, and all parties will do it. There is also a decision to do it, and we will not deviate from the principle. The party committee is responsible for work inspection. This directive has incisively expounded the system of combining collective leadership with individual responsibility, and has pointed out the direction for us to correctly handle the relationship between collective leadership and individual responsibility.
The party's leadership is collective leadership, not the arbitrary decision of individual people. Only by conscientiously implementing the system of collective leadership can we correctly implement the party's system of democratic centralism, give full play to the core leadership role of party committees, and exercise correct leadership over all work.
Because personal consideration and analysis of problems are often limited, it is inevitable that individuals will be subjective and one-sided in deciding important issues. Only when collective leadership is practiced, and the members of the party committees reflect the opinions of party members and the masses in all aspects, and deeply discuss and study problems from all angles, can they pool their wisdom, make decisions that conform to objective reality, and avoid and reduce mistakes.
Collective leadership must be combined with individual responsibility. We insist on collective leadership and do not deny the role of the individual. On the contrary, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the individual under collective leadership.
Implementing the system of individual responsibility and giving full play to the role of individuals is a concrete embodiment and an important guarantee for the realization of collective leadership. This is because in a region or a unit, the party is the leader of everything, the work is complicated, and if there is no individual division of labor and responsibility for the issues decided by the party organizations, all work will fall into a state where no one is responsible, and the party's leadership will not be realized.
Therefore, "collective leadership and individual responsibility should not be neglected". We must oppose not only the unhealthy trend of individuals making decisions on major issues, but also the undesirable phenomena of passing the buck to each other and holding meetings to discuss matters big and small
The implementation of the system of combining collective leadership and individual responsibility must have a good enlightenment and reference role in the organization, management and operation of all walks of life.
