When an accident occurs, whether the leader dares to be responsible or not, and deals with it immediately, is a great test of a leader's courage.
However, most of the time, no one dares to be responsible, and can only report layer by layer, and they all want their superiors to make decisions, which delays the rescue time and causes tragedy.
For example, in 1973, an incident happened that made *** very angry.
It was on September 9, 1973, the Asian Table Tennis Invitational Tournament held in Beijing had just ended, and athletes from all over the world were going to leave Beijing by plane to return to China, but not long after the plane took off, an accident suddenly happened: an engine caught fire!
In this case, the plane must land immediately, however, because the plane has just been filled with fuel, if it makes an emergency landing, it is likely to happen**, and the consequences will be more serious, so you must release some oil in the air first!
So, the captain immediately contacted the people at the capital airport, allowing them to release fuel in the air and land, asking the ground to be ready immediately.
However, the tower commander did not dare to call the shots, because he had never encountered such a situation before and did not know what to do, so he immediately reported it to the leader on duty at the airport.
As a result, the leader didn't know how to deal with it, and he didn't dare to make his decision, so he reported it to the Civil Aviation Administration and asked the leadership of the General Administration to decide.
Unexpectedly, several leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration did not dare to make a decision, and reported it to the Air Force Command.
However, the Air Force did not dare to call the shots and continued to report to the General Staff.
At that time, the chief of the General Staff was not in Beijing, and the General Staff was in charge of a deputy chief of the General Staff, and as a result, the deputy chief of the General Staff did not dare to make decisions on his own, first, everyone had never encountered this kind of accident and did not know how to deal with it; The second is that this matter is too involved, involving athletes from many countries, and once it is not handled well, it is easy to cause diplomatic problems.
In the end, someone suddenly remembered Zhang Ruiwei and said that he could be asked to deal with it.
So, who is this Zhang Ruiwei?
Zhang Ruiwei was born in Gaoqing County, Shandong Province in 1925, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1942, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was selected to enter the Air Force and became the first generation of Air Force pilots in New China.
Because of his excellent technology, Zhang Ruiwei has served as the captain of the special plane for a long time, accompanied the captain of the special plane to fly through many countries and regions, and has experienced many very dangerous moments, and has very rich experience in dealing with flight accidents.
Therefore, when everyone was at a loss, they thought of Zhang Ruiwei and immediately called him **.
At that time, Zhang Ruiwei was serving as the deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration, and after receiving **, he asked a few questions briefly, and then immediately ordered:"Agree to release oil, land, and the ground is immediately ready for rescue! ”
After speaking, Zhang Ruiwei immediately went out and took a car to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, he found that the plane was still hovering in the air and still did not release fuel"Immediately put oil on the landing! I'm responsible for everything that goes wrong! ”
The person in charge of the tower then spoke to the captain and agreed to land with oil.
By the time the plane finally landed safely, 33 minutes had passed since the engine caught fire, which was too dangerous!
The story is not over here, and soon, Zhang Ruiwei received a notice from his superiors to investigate the responsibility for ordering the oil release without authorization.
What do you call this? When the accident happened, no one dared to come out and take responsibility, and when the accident was dealt with, these people jumped out again to hold the hero accountable, which is really shameless to the extreme!
After understanding the situation, the relevant personnel were convened for a meeting that night, in addition to Zhang Ruiwei, there were also leaders of civil aviation, air force, and general staff.
After the meeting began, ** first called Zhang Ruiwei up and said loudly:"Comrade Zhang Ruiwei, you have done a great deed! Your determination is good, right, and timely, and I thank you very much! ”
These words, **, were not only said to Zhang Ruiwei, but also to everyone present, and affirmed that Zhang Ruiwei's approach was right and should not be punished.
Then, ** questioned the relevant person in charge one by one:"What were you doing? When something goes into such a dangerous situation, why not make a decision on the spot? ”
** Seeing that the Deputy Chief of the General Staff was also there, I said to him:"As the deputy chief of the General Staff, do you want to respect the opinions of the front-line commanders when you start a war? People know the situation best, if you don't make up your mind, you have to hold him accountable, what is the reason? ”
**After the criticism, let everyone speak freely to see what the problem is**, why no one will come out to be responsible? How are the responsibilities of each level divided?
The meeting lasted for more than three hours, and everyone was deeply shocked, saying that in the future, we must clarify the responsibilities at all levels, and those who should be responsible must dare to be responsible, and we cannot report everything layer by layer.
Finally, the instructions say:"The reason why many of our things are difficult to do is that we have to report things layer by layer, and no one is in charge. In the future, the organization should be streamlined, power should be decentralized, reformed, and the levels should be reduced, and people who were pilots should be allowed to command the planes and people who know how to lead the planes. ”
