Why keep an eye on the "leader"?, Secretary and Governor's Intensive Heart to Heart Talks | Role | Leader
How to constrain the power of the "top leader", so that they can achieve a "high position without abuse of power, weight without seeking personal gain", and fully play an exemplary and leading role, truly becoming the leader of career development, indeed requires continuous strengthening of supervision.
On June 3rd, Governor Wu Xiaojun of Qinghai Province held a collective heart to heart talk with members of the provincial government leadership team. The theme of this heart to heart talk is "to deepen the implementation of the special education and rectification deployment requirements of the Provincial Party Committee on the serious violation of the central eight point regulations by six leading cadres through cases to promote reform.". According to reports, Wu Xiaojun also had heart to heart talks with provincial government departments, directly affiliated institutions, dispatched agencies, and party secretaries of relevant mass organizations; Party secretaries of higher education institutions, provincial state-owned and state-owned holding enterprises, etc. Previously, Chen Gang, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, had a collective heart to heart conversation with the Secretary of the Municipal and State Party Committees.
One background of the intensive heart to heart talks between the Provincial Party Secretary and Governor and the "top leaders" is that on April 27th this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission publicly announced that six party members and leading cadres in Qinghai Province had illegal gatherings and alcohol consumption during training. The next day, one cadre was found dead. These six individuals include Shi Cunwu, a member of the Party Group and Secretary General of the Qinghai Provincial Government, Li Qingchuan, Secretary and Director of the Party Group and Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Wang Xuewen, Secretary and Director of the Party Group and Director of the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, Duojie, Secretary and Director of the Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee, Hong Tao, Secretary and Director of the Party Committee of the Provincial State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Tao Yongli, Secretary and Chairman of the Party Committee of the Provincial Transportation Holding Group Co., Ltd. They are mostly the main leaders of their respective units and belong to the reliable "top leaders".
This series of actions demonstrates the severity and severity of this illegal gathering and drinking incident, and to serve as a warning to others, it is necessary to raise awareness and administer a dose of medicine to more "leaders". After all, heart to heart talks are an important means of strengthening the daily supervision of cadres. A high-quality and targeted heart to heart talk can prevent some early signs and tendencies.
Many people are puzzled. Normally, these six leading cadres in Qinghai Province are not unaware of the seriousness of party conduct and discipline. Why would they still drink excessively? Especially, this incident actually occurred during the training class for the main leaders of the Party and government to study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. What they did was not what they learned, what they learned was not what they applied, which is even more unbelievable and unbelievable.
In fact, this matter is still related to the arbitrary power brought about by the position of "leader". If these leading cadres were to explain to everyone the big truth about not having illegal gatherings and drinking, it would definitely be clear and convincing. But when it comes to themselves, they often believe that these disciplinary provisions, rule requirements, and so on should not be used to constrain themselves. They feel as if they are standing outside the circle, high and above, "discipline does not concern themselves.".
In addition, this is also related to some leading cadres having a confused understanding. There are always some people who value being a good person more than doing things, always wanting to build a kind of interpersonal connection outside of work. These people not only do not think that their gatherings are illegal, but may also think that such occasions themselves are a good lubrication that will help them do their respective jobs well. Little did they know that such relationships based on eating, drinking, and pulling and tugging not only cannot truly promote work, but also have the possibility of falling into vulgar small circles and gangs, which is not advisable.
Although only these six leading cadres were involved in the incident, similar adverse situations are not uncommon in other places; Similar confused understandings also exist among many party members and cadres. This is actually one of the reasons why the main leaders of Qinghai Province have intensive heart to heart talks with local leaders.
In reality, leaders at all levels are often given important power, which is the key to the "key minority". How to constrain their power, so that they can achieve "high position without abuse of power, and weight without seeking personal gain", and fully play a leading role and leadership role, truly becoming the leader of career development, does need to continue to strengthen supervision.
In this regard, there are currently clear systems and regulations, and the key is to ensure their implementation. The Opinion of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening Supervision over "Top Leaders" and Leadership Teams, released as early as 2021, is the first specialized document formulated by our party for the supervision of "Top Leaders" and leadership teams. It is explicitly stipulated that the Party Committee, disciplinary inspection organs, and Party work organs should highlight the supervision of the "top leaders" and make them the focus of daily supervision, special inspections, etc., so that the "top leaders" always feel that their power is under supervision. In addition, it is also necessary to promote the integration and coordination of supervision by the National People's Congress, democratic supervision, administrative supervision, judicial supervision, audit supervision, financial and accounting supervision, statistical supervision, mass supervision, and public opinion supervision, forming a joint force.
Chen Gang, the Secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, said during a collective heart to heart conversation with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee that we must always be strict with ourselves, give red lights to illegal eating and drinking, lock interests and hobbies, draw lines for interpersonal communication, and set up checkpoints for our power. We should treat power correctly, always respect it, and use it with caution.
These words serve as a warning to the "top leader". Undoubtedly, only by being highly responsible to oneself, the team, and the team, and leading a good leader, can we fulfill our duties and take on more responsibilities, and do better in various undertakings.
