It can provide guidance for the second batch of theme education, and the first batch of theme education has these advanced experiences and excellent practices
The first batch of thematic education has accumulated a lot of new experience, such as using "key minority" demonstrations to drive the "vast majority", carefully organizing, planning, and promoting the implementation of responsibilities; Integrating learning and practice, integrating research and improvement, and conducting research and improvement while learning; The emphasis on opposing formalism and bureaucracy has provided guidance and reference for the second batch of thematic education. The second batch of theme education has the characteristics of wide coverage, large quantity, multiple points, and long lines. The participating units and personnel have a more direct connection with the people, and the contradictions they face are more complex. To carry out the second batch of theme education well, we must firmly grasp the four key measures proposed by the Party Central Committee, fully absorb the advanced experience and excellent practices of the first batch of units, and accurately grasp our own different characteristics.
"Focus on four key measures"
Strengthening theoretical learning——
In response to the characteristics of the second batch of thematic education, theoretical learning should highlight the scientific system of grasping this idea as a whole, and place the learning of innovative theories in the context of the accelerated evolution and deep interaction of the "two major situations" in the new era to deepen understanding.
To test the effectiveness of theoretical learning, we need to see whether the innovative theories of the Party are deeply rooted in our hearts and actions, and whether Party members and cadres are able to think and use them effectively. The method of theoretical learning is to read the original work, study the original text, and understand the principles. We should consciously use the innovative theories of the Party in the new era to observe new situations, study new situations, and solve new problems. We should pay attention to strengthening practice, enhancing skills, and following the Party's mass line in the new era.
At the same time, emphasis should be placed on strengthening the organization and arrangement of theoretical learning for young party members, retired cadres, staff members, and mobile party members. The interaction between theoretical learning and social learning in grassroots units is more closely linked, and it is necessary to guide and drive social learning through intra party education, so that the Party's innovative theories can fly into the homes of ordinary people.
Conduct in-depth investigation and research——
The party members and cadres who participated in the second batch of theme education are not only the research objects of the first batch, but also the implementation subjects of the in-depth investigation and research of the second batch of theme education. The two have relevance, continuity, and progressiveness in the theme and content of the research, and it is necessary to make good use of the results of the first batch of research to form a work loop.
We need to carefully plan the research plan, adhere to problem awareness and goal orientation. The research questions should not only focus on how to implement the Party's line, principles, policies, and major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, which are key issues related to the overall situation of reform, development, and stability, but also on the prominent problems faced by the Party's construction, as well as the hot and difficult issues strongly reflected by the people.
To master effective working methods for investigation and research, such as survey meetings, seminars, visiting surveys, on-site surveys, typical surveys, field investigations, individual interviews, questionnaire surveys, statistical surveys, sampling surveys, expert surveys, online surveys, etc. In the research process, it is necessary to use effective methods of exchange, comparison, and repetition, and attach importance to listening to opinions from all aspects, including those of a minority and those opposing.
Promoting high-quality development——
Whether high-quality development can be promoted depends on whether the development concept and performance concept are correct or not. It is necessary to fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, establish a correct view of power, performance, and career, and enhance a sense of responsibility and mission.
We should focus on solving the most concerning, direct, and practical interests of the people, aiming and following the problems, and forming an assessment system that corresponds to high-quality development according to local conditions.
Pay close attention to inspection and rectification——
Convening high-quality thematic democratic life meetings and organizational life meetings is an important carrier for theme education, inspection, and rectification. We must adopt a highly responsible attitude towards the Party, our cause, our comrades, and ourselves, and strictly carry out criticism and self-criticism in accordance with the specific requirements of learning to shape our soul, enhance our intelligence, improve our work style, and promote our work through learning. We should prevent avoiding the importance and exaggeration, and avoid using problems pointed out by superiors instead of our own problems, using team problems instead of personal problems, using problems from others instead of our own problems, using work and business problems instead of ideological and political problems, and using old problems instead of new problems.
We must adhere to the combination of "immediate reform" and "long-term establishment", which not only solves problems but also establishes regulations and systems. Adhering to "immediate reform" means having the determination and courage to acknowledge and solve problems, that is, to know and make changes immediately, and to act promptly. If it cannot be solved temporarily, specific measures, rectification deadlines, and division of responsibilities should be clearly defined to prevent small problems from turning into big problems and small pipe surges from turning into major landslides. A temporary solution to a problem does not necessarily mean a permanent solution. Once an old problem is solved, new problems will arise. Adhering to the principle of "long-term standing" means timely fixing the good practices and experiences of theme education in institutional form, and persisting in the long term to prevent problems from rebounding and emerging again.
"Make good use of the first batch of advanced experience"
Effective organizational leadership is the foundation and prerequisite——
Party committees at all levels should attach great importance to and carefully organize thematic education, and plan, organize, and implement it well; The main responsible comrades of the Party committee should effectively fulfill their responsibilities as the first person in charge, personally plan, lead the command, supervise and guide, do a good job in the preliminary preparation work such as division of responsibilities, preliminary plans, and statistical forms, carefully study the ways and methods of conducting theme education, and fight a "proactive battle".
The successful experience of the first batch of theme education shows that it is necessary to strengthen leadership responsibility, grasp the progress throughout the process, focus on discovering and solving various signs and tendencies, correctly handle the relationship between daily work and theme education, and ensure that the work is solid and in-depth, ensuring that the direction is not biased and the intensity is not reduced. The party committees of provinces, autonomous regions, and cities, as well as the party groups of industry system supervisory departments, should dispatch touring guidance groups to strengthen supervision and guidance of their respective regions, departments, and units.
The key is to adhere to the principles of seeking truth and pragmatism, focusing on practical work, and resolutely opposing and preventing formalism——
Formalism and bureaucracy are the major enemies of the development of our party and state, and are the key issues to be inspected and rectified in theme education. In the first batch of thematic education, some formalism and bureaucracy appeared in the investigation and research. For example, some research topics are not grounded from the beginning, and the questions listed in the outline are detached from reality; There is a "disdain for poverty and love for wealth" style of research, not going to places where problems truly need to be solved; Some research reports tend to avoid serious issues and avoid true contradictions.
To achieve practical results in investigation and research, ideological understanding must be in place. Why conduct investigation and research? What is the goal to achieve? What are the key research topics? These issues require in-depth thinking. The basis of investigation and research is to comprehensively understand the situation, not just look at "vases" and "bonsai", "storefronts" and "windows", but also at "backyard" and "corners". Do not adopt a superficial and comprehensive approach, nor do you generalize or generalize from one point to the next. We should recognize the dialectical relationship, historical evolution, and development trends between new and old problems, obvious and hidden problems, prominent and basic problems, stage problems, and long-term problems.
The survey and research methods should keep up with the times and adhere to the online mass line. Netizens come from the common people, and once they go online, their public opinion also goes online. Wherever the people are, our leaders and cadres must go, otherwise how can we connect with them? On this basis, there should be a process of systematizing and organizing fragmented materials, removing the coarse and fine, removing the false and retaining the true, from the surface to the inside, grasping the essence and finding patterns, and combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. As a result, the resulting decisions will be a reflection of the close integration of public experience, industry rules, and central work.
Effectively solving the interests and concerns of the people is the ultimate goal——
Strengthening theoretical learning is the golden key to improving abilities, solving practical problems, and enhancing people's quality of life; The purpose of in-depth investigation and research is to grasp the real situation, understand social conditions and public opinion, and come up with practical solutions and practical results; Promoting high-quality development is to focus on solving the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development; To carry out effective inspection and rectification, it is necessary to integrate problem rectification throughout the theme education, so that the people can truly feel the practical results of solving problems.
Ultimately, whether theme education is carried out well or not, whether it is practical or not, the public's perception is the most direct and they have the most voice. Pay close attention to the evaluation of the effectiveness of theme education, avoid talking to oneself, playing and singing on one's own, and avoid practicing in isolation or internal circulation. We should make good use of various methods such as receiving letters and visits, conducting visits and discussions, providing hotlines for people's livelihoods, and online platforms to facilitate channels for public participation, ensuring that the evaluation is objective, truthful, and fully reflects the voice of the people.
