Shift the focus downwards and focus on the grassroots level
2024-11-21
Strengthening the grassroots construction of our military in the new era is the foundation and strength of building a strong and prosperous military. The development and progress of grassroots construction rely not only on the active actions of the vast number of officers and soldiers, but also on the scientific guidance and effective assistance of the Party committee and organs. Recently, President Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection of the airborne troops that all levels should adhere to the downward shift of focus, do a good job in laying the foundation at the grassroots level, wholeheartedly solve problems for officers and soldiers, and stimulate the unity, progress, and entrepreneurial enthusiasm of the vast number of officers and soldiers. The four words' shift of focus downwards' succinctly tell us that the grassroots should be where the vision, presence, and energy of the party committee and organs are concentrated. Different hearts lead to different effects. Whether to be careless or extremely attentive in grassroots construction, different choices will have different results. In February last year, a magazine conducted a survey of 120 grassroots units in the military and found that party committees and organizations that frequently inquire about grassroots governance, planning, and effectiveness ultimately achieve a positive "two-way rush" with the grassroots. This result once again demonstrates that where energy is directed, excitement will emerge. Shifting the focus downwards and doing a good job in laying the foundation at the grassroots level is not only a responsibility, but also a practical need. Nowadays, the grassroots level is no longer the concept of traditional platoons. Some are modular units of joint operations, some are important nodes of the combat system, and some are the forefront of the invisible battlefield. Party committees and organs are required to immerse themselves in the reality and take countermeasures. At the end of the year, what are the practical difficulties and specific assistance needed at the grassroots level? The Party committee and organs also need to diagnose and solve them as soon as possible. If one floats on top or wanders away from objects while going down to the grassroots level, without immersing oneself in the heart, how can we talk about "down-to-earth qi" and "mind opening qi"? How to improve guidance level and help build quality? The center of gravity must be lowered, and the strength must be lowered. There is a consensus that wherever leadership is used more, the construction will definitely not be poor. Going down to the grassroots level of leadership, focusing on concrete, practical, and thorough work is a basic requirement for work methods and a practical test of leadership style. It can be imagined that a party committee organization that often does not go down to the grassroots level, with its mind and energy devoted to dealing with higher-level party committee organizations, can it do a good job at the grassroots level? From units with weak grassroots construction to units with numerous problems, it is important to gather leadership and grassroots forces, unify guidance and stimulation at the grassroots level. If the strength sinks, the heavy harvest will not be far away. The center of gravity has shifted downwards, and resources must be invested. People often believe because they see, and remain steadfast because they believe. The allocation of resources directly reflects the direction of construction. Cultural equipment, first at the grassroots level and then in government agencies; Reward indicators, with more grassroots units and fewer government agencies; Various types of guarantees, prioritizing the protection of grassroots; Prioritizing the allocation of outstanding talents to grassroots level... Such resource allocation is a tangible shift in focus. The center of gravity has shifted downwards, and power must be delegated. Moving the center of gravity downwards is not about "covering the whole journey", nor is it about providing "nanny style" guidance. Practice warns us that if the leadership extends its hand too far, it will inevitably affect the enthusiasm of the grassroots. To shift the focus downwards, it is necessary to respect the work arrangement right, personnel use right, and property control right of the grassroots, not to interfere with the normal work of the grassroots at will, and not to interfere with sensitive affairs at the grassroots level. When the relationship between mentoring and substitution is handled properly, it is important not to overstep one's bounds; Handle the relationship between guidance and command well, participate without intervention; Handle the relationship between trust and indulgence well, let go without letting go; Once the relationship between helping temporarily and helping in the long run is handled well, without assistance, the grassroots will naturally take the initiative, build independently, and develop themselves.
