The level of writing of the staff members of the organs depends partly on the layout of the text and the ability to control the text, and more on the "extra-written skills" such as deeply understanding the spirit of the superiors, accurately understanding the intentions of the leaders, grasping the situation at the grass-roots level in a timely manner, and comprehensively grasping the laws of work. If you don't practice "extra-pen skills" well, no matter how much effort you exert yourself, you will not be able to achieve the desired effect.
In-depth understanding of the spirit of superiors
Comrades engaged in the writing of official documents must consciously study the spirit of the Central Committee without staying overnight, grasp the party's policies without deviating, and never slack off in paying attention to current political information.
Keep abreast of a series of major decisions and deployments of the central government. It is necessary to pay close attention to current political developments at home and abroad, accurately grasp the party's line, principles, and policies in various periods, and consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the party Central Committee in terms of ideology, politics, and action. Promptly study the work reports and series of speeches delivered by the central leading comrades at different types of meetings, and read more theoretical articles, editorials, and commentaries published in party newspapers and periodicals. At present, the focus is on conscientiously studying the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, studying the original text word by word, truly grasping the essence and essence, and applying what we have learned to promote learning.
Keep abreast of the work dynamics of higher-level party committees. Take the initiative to maintain regular communication and contact with the comrades of the higher-level organs, keep abreast of the various meetings held by the higher-level party committees at different points in time, the speeches of relevant leaders, and the spirit of the documents issued, carefully understand the force of decision-making and the focus of work of the higher-level party committees and leaders, analyze and judge and absorb and learn from the actual conditions of their own regions and departments, and consciously take the initiative to spit out the old and absorb the new in their ideological understanding.
Comprehensively grasp the articles and views of authoritative figures, experts and scholars in relevant fields. The introduction of any important policy, the introduction of the empirical model, and the implementation of reform measures have been scientifically demonstrated by many parties in advance, and opinions and suggestions from all sides have been repeatedly solicited. In this process, relevant leaders, experts, and scholars will expound the spirit of the Central Committee, leadership intentions, and personal opinions from different aspects. As comrades engaged in writing work, we must keenly grasp this important information, make a good reserve of relevant theories and knowledge in advance, and only when the leaders need it, can we be confident and readily available.
Accurately comprehend the leader's intent
Comrades engaged in writing work, as the "external brains" and "think tanks" of leaders, must always revolve around the "brains" of leaders and learn and comprehend as much as possible the way of thinking and the art of work of leaders.
Realize from the leader's speech and conversation. Repeatedly study and study all kinds of speeches of leaders over a period of time, carefully comprehend and devote themselves to pondering, and strive to understand some of the leaders' thoughts and the art and style of leaders' speeches every time they read an article or draft a manuscript.
Learn from the government affairs and affairs activities in which leaders participate. Participate in all kinds of official activities of leaders as much as possible, feel the way leaders treat people and things up close, understand the style of leaders thinking about problems and planning work, grasp the principles of leaders in dealing with and solving various complex problems, and find out the characteristics of leaders in handling government affairs and affairs.
Learn from the books and newspapers that leaders read and the information they pay attention to. In the usual contact and conversation with the leader, pay attention to understanding the research direction of the leader in a certain period, and also study and study the relevant books, important articles, collected materials, and news reports that the leader is concerned about, so as to grasp as much relevant information as possible.
Understand from the instructions and assigned matters by the leaders. When dealing with daily affairs, leaders will more or less reveal their own views and opinions. In ordinary times, we should pay attention to grasping from the details, see the subtleties, accumulate over time, and strive to be in tune with the leaders in thought, in harmony with the leaders in work, and synchronized with the leaders in action.
Keep abreast of the situation at the grassroots level
In order to write official documents, we must sink down to ask for good strategies and go deep into the masses to be grounded, so as to write a heavy and strong manuscript.
Follow the leaders and go to the grassroots to find "inspiration". It is necessary to actively create conditions and participate as much as possible in the research and research activities of the leaders at the grassroots level.
On the one hand, it is conducive to listening to the opinions and suggestions of grassroots cadres and masses in many aspects, understanding the work dynamics of the grassroots from multiple perspectives, understanding some details that they usually cannot see, and summarizing and refining the innovative experience and practices of the grassroots in a timely manner.
On the other hand, it is conducive to grasping the key and difficult issues that leaders are concerned about at close range, organically combining the spirit of superiors with the actual work at the grassroots level, putting forward targeted and operable opinions and suggestions, and making more research results enter the decision-making vision of leaders.
Be a good student and go deep into the masses to find the "true scriptures". Focusing on the key points of work, with topics and questions, go to the masses, go into enterprises, factories and mines, rural stations, block buildings, fields and farmers' homes, and worship the cadres of rural blocks as teachers, the "experts" of all walks of life at the grassroots level as teachers, the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises as teachers, and the leaders of all kinds of prosperity as teachers.
Understand the implementation of the party's principles and policies, understand the development and changes of rural blocks, understand what they are most concerned about at the moment, and what are their greatest expectations for future development. Only in this way can we truly obtain the "true scriptures" and integrate the wisdom of the masses into the manuscripts.
Make friends and weave a "network" of communication and interconnection. As much as possible, we should keep in touch with the comrades engaged in writing work at the grassroots level, make friends with them sincerely, and maintain communication anytime and anywhere through regular visits, discussions, WeChat, Weibo, etc., so as to grasp the work trends of the grassroots level at the first time.
In this way, we will not only be able to reflect the creative experience of the grassroots masses in a timely manner, but will also be able to effectively shield a small number of grassroots cadres from making false reports, abandon big talk, copying clichés, and unleashing empty cannons, truly grasp the first pass for the leaders, and write more articles that are refreshing and can quench the thirst and boost the morale of the grassroots units.
Comprehensively grasp the rules of work
For routine work, it is necessary to learn more from veteran leaders, veteran cadres, and veteran colleagues, grasp in detail the different emphases of the work of organs at different time nodes in recent years, strive to intervene as soon as possible, communicate with leaders in advance, do a good job of research and research in accordance with the intentions of the leaders, collect more materials, write first drafts, and then repeatedly revise and polish them, and strive to write out the characteristics of conventional manuscripts, write new ideas, and write high-quality works.
For innovative work, it is necessary to continuously improve the ability to take the initiative to do a good job in a passive state through the accumulation of ordinary times and the exploration of the work rules of the organs. It is necessary to develop the habit of clipping, copying, and taking notes, do a good job in collecting and sorting out all kinds of materials on a regular basis, and establish a database by category to ensure that they can be quickly found and used when needed, and strive to write innovative manuscripts with ingenuity and unique style.
For urgent work, we must always have a plan in mind, always be in a state of "preparation", especially for the key work of a certain period, we must always maintain a deep and detailed understanding, and be able to deal with it calmly when needed, so as to ensure that the work is tight but not loose, busy but not chaotic, and strive to write a comprehensive and vivid manuscript with tight time requirements, showing a solid foundation.
