Leading troops requires convincing them
2023-07-07
When an excellent company commander talked about his experience in leading troops, he said: In a sense, a leader is a soldier who is stronger than a soldier - stronger in heart and with more excellent qualities. The most fundamental thing about being stronger than a soldier is to convince the soldier. This simple sentence is a summary of personal experience, as well as a heartfelt understanding, and it further highlights the true essence of leading troops and educating people. Convincing soldiers is a prerequisite for knowing and understanding soldiers. The military leader is a cadre and backbone, but first and foremost, an ordinary soldier. There is an article called "Don't take yourself as the masses", which warns leading cadres to always view themselves as ordinary members of the masses. If the leader of the army does not consider themselves as "soldiers", uses power to suppress others, uses power to intimidate others, and is ignorant of the military, strict with others, lenient with oneself, and arrogant, it will create a gap and distance from the soldiers. I don't know how to lead a soldier, I don't know how to lead a soldier? In the past, Zhibing said that "activity depends on interest, eating depends on appetite, sleeping depends on posture, and walking depends on demeanor". Now, it is necessary to "look at the change of avatar, Tiktok depends on attention, spend money to see where to go, and online games depend on mood". Only by approaching can one enter, and by integrating can one enter. Only by treating oneself as an ordinary soldier, updating our concepts and thinking together with soldiers, innovating methods and playing together with soldiers, and taking on exemplary responsibilities and working together with soldiers, can we enter the world of soldiers and improve our military leadership ability. The 'lead' of a military leader is to take the lead, drive, and lead. A squadron roaring, there must be a top-notch military leader standing behind it. To convince soldiers, it is necessary to stay at the forefront and stand on the front line, with major tasks ahead, urgent and difficult situations ahead, and difficult problems ahead. Soldiers should be able to see benchmarks in peacetime, flags in wartime, and hope in times of danger, feel reliant, know where to go, and always be full of confidence and strength. Qi Fabao, the leader of the Heroic Regiment for Defending the Border, has an Unspoken rule rule that "when facing off, the cadres stand in front and the soldiers stand behind; when eating, the soldiers do not fill up, the cadres do not serve bowls; when camping, the soldiers sleep inside and the cadres sleep out". Having a leader who leads by example and takes the lead naturally gathers the soldiers' hearts, leads the team, stands up well, and brings out combat effectiveness. The army is going to war. This skill and that skill, leading troops to win battles is the true skill. The military leader has excellent military qualities and can lead everyone to carry the red flag, win first place, and win battles, naturally carrying a personality charm that soldiers admire. In regular military training, a 'look at me' is better than any sermon; During wartime, a single "follow me" is better than a thousand words. If the military skills and professional literacy of the military leader are not strong enough, the training is not easy to get in touch with, cannot speak, and the competition is sidelined and the results are delayed, it will inevitably lead to a lack of confidence in the training and unconvinced soldiers, directly restricting the generation and improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops. A military strategist said, "If the leader is not competent, the highest ranking subordinates cannot replace him. If the leader fails, the subordinates will not be much better." What kind of soldier is the leader, what kind of soldier is the leader. The stronger the ability level of the leader, the higher the overall quality of a team. Leaders at all levels should strengthen their learning and improve their quality, humbly learn from experience, keep up with the times, learn constantly, take the lead in practical work, lead the team to win, and win the sincere praise of soldiers with their solid achievements.
