Cracking the "Two Skins" Problem to Promote the Deep Integration of Party Building Work and Business Work (Special Topic Thinking)

Source: People's Daily

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We must properly handle the relationship between party building and business, and adhere to the principle that party building work and business work are planned together, deployed together, implemented together, and inspected together." "We must promote the deep integration of party building work and business work with systematic thinking, adhere to the central grasp of party building, do a good job of party building and promote business, adhere to the same direction of party building work and business work goals, synchronous deployment, and work together, and lead high-quality development with high-quality party building, so that the two can promote each other in integrated development."

Promote as a whole. Party building work and professional work are organically unified. If the party building work is done well, it will be able to provide a strong political guarantee for professional work. At the same time, if party building work wants to avoid "blurring" and "weakening", it is necessary to test the effectiveness of work with professional work. In practice, the main reason why some units in some localities are prone to the problem of "two skins" in party building work and professional work is that some leading cadres have not realized the organic and unified relationship between the two and have failed to make overall plans and promote it as a whole. To comprehensively promote the deep integration of party building work and business work with systematic thinking, it is necessary to consider all aspects of the situation as a whole, take into account the overall situation, and promote it as a whole. Party building work should be carried out in close connection with business work, lead and promote business work through party building work, and use business work to test the effectiveness of party building work, so as to realize the convergence and deep integration of party building work and business work. For example, in view of the risk points of honest administration in professional work, we can strengthen ideological construction, work style construction, and system building in the party building work in a targeted manner, so that party members and cadres do not dare to be corrupt, cannot be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt, and ensure that party members and cadres are clean and official. For another example, in the face of urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks in professional work, we should give full play to the important role of party building work, so that party members and cadres can rush forward at critical moments and be open-minded at critical junctures, give full play to the role of pioneers and models, and promote the better development of professional work. To comprehensively promote party building work and professional work, it is necessary to make the various measures of party building work and business work cooperate with each other in deployment and promote each other in implementation, and grasp party building around the center and do a good job in party building and promote business.

Be problem-oriented. To promote the deep integration and mutual promotion of party building work and business work, we must adhere to the problem orientation and dig deep into the main problems that affect the deep integration of the two. Adhering to the orientation of problems requires that problems be accurately discovered, problems be analyzed thoroughly, and problems be rectified and reformed in a down-to-earth manner; we must rush to the problems and stare at the problems to correct them, dig out the deep-seated problems, and find out the hidden problems. For example, at present, an important issue affecting the deep integration of party building work and professional work is the issue of ideological understanding. Some leading cadres believe that professional work is relatively solid and party building work is relatively virtual, and there is an ideological tendency to emphasize business over party building, so it is difficult to achieve a deep integration of party building work and professional work when planning and promoting work, and there is a situation in which grasping professional work is relatively hard and grasping party building work is relatively soft. To solve this problem, it is necessary to strengthen ideological guidance and make leading cadres profoundly realize that if party building is not done well, it is impossible to do a good job in professional work. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly implement the responsibility system for party building work, urge party organizations at all levels to conscientiously perform the main responsibility of managing the party and governing the party, and concentrate on doing a good job in party building work. Party organization secretaries should earnestly perform well the duties of the first responsible person for party building work. For another example, the party building work of some units has superficial and formal problems, which are superficial and difficult to truly integrate with professional work. In view of this situation, it is necessary to adopt practical and effective measures to continuously achieve practical results in party building work. Adhere to the problem orientation to promote the deep integration of party building work and business work, requiring that on the basis of identifying problems, the rectification and reform of problems be managed in a ledger manner, clarifying the responsible subjects, progress time limits and work measures, so that problems are not solved without slackening, solutions are not completely solved, and continue to advance and work for a long time.

Consolidate the institutional foundation. To persist in planning, deploying, implementing, and inspecting party building work and business work together, it is necessary to establish and improve relevant systems and mechanisms. Consolidating the institutional foundation is a long-term strategy and a fundamental strategy to promote the deep integration of party building work and business work. It is necessary to strengthen system building, promptly upgrade the successful experience and effective practices of deep integration of party building work and professional work into a system, and constantly transform the party's political advantages, organizational advantages, and advantages in close ties with the masses into advantages in promoting the development of professional work. Promote the party building work mechanism to more accurately dock the needs of business development, so that where the business work is carried out, the party building work is extended to the whole process, the party's leadership is integrated into the whole process of business work, promote the deep integration of party building work and business work in the ordinary, integrated into daily life, and adhere to the same research, deployment, inspection, and assessment. In addition, it is also necessary to further improve the party building assessment and evaluation system, improve the linkage assessment and evaluation mechanism for party building work and professional work, give play to the role of the baton of assessment, and make party building work and professional work promote each other.
