On the ideological front, forging a strong team capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of building a strong military
2025-07-04
A strong country must have a strong military, and a strong military must first have strong talents. President Xi emphasized that "the way to build a strong military lies in acquiring talents. Talents are the key factor in promoting the high-quality development of our military, winning military competition, and taking the initiative in future wars. They have significant practical and far-reaching historical significance for achieving the Party's goal of building a strong military in the new era and comprehensively building our military into a world-class military." We must deeply study and implement the spirit of President Xi's important instructions, place the cultivation of cadres and talents in a more prominent position, accelerate the forging of a strong team that can shoulder the heavy responsibility of building a strong military, and provide strong talent support for the cause of building a strong military. The fundamental principle of our military's talent development is to adhere to the Party's management of cadres, talents, and organizational selection. It is precisely because of our long-term adherence to this principle that our military has been able to cultivate and nurture a group of outstanding talents who are loyal to the cause of the Party and possess both moral integrity and talent. In the new situation, we must adhere to the Party's management of cadres, talents, and organizational selection, fully leverage the leadership and oversight role of Party organizations, and ensure that the gun barrel is firmly in the hands of those who are absolutely loyal to the Party. Grasp firmly the political barrier of talent cultivation and utilization. The cultivation and utilization of talents should first be viewed and grasped from a political perspective. The military is armed with guns, and must adhere to the cultivation, assessment, and use of cadres politically. It must clearly prioritize political standards and implement them throughout the entire process of cadre selection and management, comprehensively and three dimensionally assessing the political loyalty, determination, responsibility, ability, and self-discipline of cadres to ensure that the selected talents are politically trustworthy, reliable, and trustworthy. Strengthen the main responsibility of organizational personnel selection and appointment. To manage the Party, the first step is to manage the cadres well. Party committees at all levels should effectively enhance their sense of political responsibility and mission, place personnel selection and appointment work in a prominent position, strengthen organizational leadership, and enhance their sense of responsibility. We should scientifically allocate and strengthen the responsibilities of various departments in the government, fully leverage the special role of the human resources department in personnel selection and appointment, and enhance the scientific and credible nature of personnel selection and appointment. We need to improve the supervision, restraint, and accountability mechanisms, refine the responsibility requirements for each link of cadre selection and appointment, and ensure the correct direction of personnel selection and appointment work. Improve the specific forms of Party management of cadres and talents. To forge a strong team capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of building a strong military, it is necessary to carry forward the fine tradition of the Party loving talents, promoting talents, and gathering talents, and improve the specific forms of leveraging the political, organizational, and institutional advantages of the Party's management of cadres and talents. To improve the work pattern of the Party in managing talents, in accordance with the requirements of macro management, policy management, coordination management, and service management, establish and improve mechanisms for scientific decision-making, division of labor and cooperation, communication and exchange, and supervision and implementation, and form a work operation mechanism that combines centralized and decentralized management, top-down linkage, coordination and efficiency, and overall promotion. We need to strengthen specialized, refined, and scientific management, grasp the growth laws of military talents, understand the development characteristics of various talents, innovate the thinking concepts and methods of the Party's management of cadres and talents, and enhance the effectiveness of talent work. To learn and understand military human resources policies and systems, improve the ability to apply legal thinking and methods, adhere to the law, policies, systems, and procedures, and create a strong atmosphere of trust, respect, support, and care for talents. Two good cadres are selected, cultivated, and managed. The forging of a strong team is not achieved in a day or by one person alone. It is necessary to focus on the growth cycle and performance process of cadres, and construct a coupled and progressive mechanism for selecting and managing talents as a whole. Accurate selection is the key. Only by knowing people can one be well appointed, and only by passing exams can one make good use of them. Adhere to precise and scientific knowledge of officials and personnel, select and verify cadres accurately, and select cadres who can reassure the organization, satisfy officers and soldiers, and convince cadres. According to the standards for selecting and employing good military cadres, highlighting the priority of morality, key indicators of ability, and bottom line thinking of integrity, establish hierarchical, energetic, and easy to operate evaluation indicators based on different types, positions, and job levels of cadres to ensure targeted, scientific, and efficient assessment work. Innovate and improve assessment methods, strengthen close range, multi angle, and long-term assessment, deepen and implement the mass line of cadre assessment, comprehensively and dialectically analyze the historical situation, current performance, mental state, and work achievements of the assessment objects, and improve the accuracy of the penetrating power of the governor's knowledge. The system cultivates talents. Ten years for trees, a hundred years for people. Cadre training is a long-term strategy that requires long-term planning and sustained efforts. Efforts should be made to shape education, strengthen the ideological integration throughout the entire career cycle from the beginning of military service and official career, and focus on cultivating excellent work styles among cadres. Focusing on educating people for war, actively creating a strong atmosphere of martial arts, and widely carrying out mass military training and competition activities, we aim to enhance the abilities and qualities of cadres through ideological and strategic planning, research and training, and strategic management. Strengthen path guidance, conduct in-depth analysis of the growth characteristics and laws of various types of cadres, classify and design roadmaps for selection, promotion, education and training, adjustment, communication and growth, focus on key nodes such as the window period for the formation of cadres' values, career adaptation period, and golden period of development, and implement dynamic regulation and follow-up training. Promote efficient supply, focus on precise integration between talent training supply side and future battlefield demand side, adhere to cultivating talents according to the needs of the war, and keep the "star" of talent construction always aligned with the "bullseye" of combat effectiveness construction. Scientific 'management' talent. Cadre management is both a science and an art, which requires daring to implement effective management and precise policies, reflecting the strength of the organization; We should also support and encourage, show care and tolerance, and reflect the warmth of the organization. Strengthen problem orientation, focus on solving blind spots, difficulties, blockages, and pain points in the construction of the cadre team, and continuously improve the overall efficiency of cadre team construction. Pay attention to risk management, fully anticipate potential uncertainties in management, actively identify and proactively prevent and control them. Adapt to 'use' talent. A galloping horse can embark on adventures, but plowing the fields is not as good as a cow; A strong vehicle can carry heavy loads, but crossing a river is not as good as a boat. The selection of personnel and their roles must be based on the needs of the job, ensuring that people are selected according to the situation and personnel are suitable, to ensure that talents are allocated to the best and maximize their effectiveness. Adhere to the principle of matching people with positions and making full use of their talents, fully consider the characteristics and strengths of each individual, place suitable people in suitable positions, improve the matching degree between people and positions and the efficiency of talent utilization, and effectively stimulate the innovation vitality and potential of various talents. Adhere to the principle of honing talents through work and utilizing them at the right time, be good at tapping into the potential of talents, seize the golden period of talent growth and boldly use them, providing a broad stage for talents to display their talents and make achievements. If the three environments are good, talents will gather and careers will prosper. To forge a strong team capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of building a strong military, it is necessary to put in deep and practical efforts to create a favorable environment for work and entrepreneurship, with a pure selection and employment atmosphere, a combination of strict management and caring to promote responsibility, and a combination of incentives and constraints to activate power, in order to unite, organize, and unite various talents to the greatest extent possible. Adhere to the correct selection and employment orientation. The correct selection and employment orientation is the "baton" that leads the construction of the cadre team, and the "booster" that inspires responsibility. We must establish a clear orientation of selecting and employing personnel based on the standards of good military cadres, and truly select and employ those good cadres who are loyal to the Party, good at planning wars, dare to take responsibility, outstanding in performance, and honest and upright. We must integrate fairness and integrity into the entire process of selecting and employing personnel, establish a focus on grassroots, practical work, and recognition by officers and soldiers, and adhere to the principle of prioritizing excellence, practical results, and positioning. We should cultivate and use cadres with a broad mindedness of "not being limited by one style to reduce talent", break down the boundaries of age, qualifications, and experience, and enable talents of all ages and in all aspects to have enthusiasm in their careers. We should truly lead the direction of work and entrepreneurship with the correct selection and employment orientation. Improve the mechanism of strict management and caring work. Strict management is not only a constraint, but also a protection; Kindness is not only caring, but also motivating. Adhere to the combination of strict management and kindness, not only putting discipline and rules at the forefront, adhering to the strict tone, practicing the concept of governance, implementing the requirements of the whole, strengthening the constraints and supervision of power operation, especially strengthening the daily management of "key minorities" and key positions, managing key matters well, managing key areas, and controlling key moments, so that cadres know how to respect, guard against, and abide by the bottom line; We must also care for and love cadres with heart and emotion, providing political incentives, work support, salary guarantees, and psychological care. We should actively create a strong atmosphere of trust, respect, support, and care, establish a scientific performance evaluation system, improve the fault tolerance and correction mechanism, implement the "three distinctions", and effectively take responsibility for those in charge, for those in charge, and for those in charge, so that cadres can continuously grow in strict management, radiate passion in care and motivation, and devote themselves to the great cause of building a strong military with more full enthusiasm and more firm beliefs. Continuously optimize the policy and institutional system. There must be a law to things, and then they can be accomplished. Scientific policy guidance and a favorable institutional environment are crucial for better cultivating, attracting, and retaining talent. We need to continuously optimize the policy and institutional system, pay attention to process control and end of pipe effectiveness in the implementation of relevant systems, deeply grasp the situation of the cadre team at the grassroots level, regularly consult and listen to opinions and suggestions, make full use of policies and systems such as training, communication, promotion, treatment, and commendation, and further stimulate talents to devote themselves to the great cause of building a strong military, concentrate on preparing for war, and strive to contribute to the military camp.
