Everyone is a cadre of an organ, and work is a topic that cannot be avoided. So, what is work? Different people have different answers to this question, some people think it is a means to support their families, some people think it is a part of life, and some people think it is a platform to realize personal value. Today, I would like to talk to you about "work". Before the exchange, I would like to share with you two true stories.
The first story is the experience of a community secretary in Jinan. This secretary's name is Li Jinfeng, and he is the secretary of the party committee and director of the neighborhood committee of the Huayuan Central District Community in Licheng District. Her neighborhood is an old neighborhood, and about half of the residents are elderly, and there are 49 elderly people living alone. These elderly people are at home on their own and can be very tricky in the event of an emergency. After discussion, Li Jinfeng took the initiative to be the "key steward", and the old man could put the key here if he wanted, so that he could take care of it in case of emergency. So far, a total of 27 elderly households have handed over the keys to Li Jinfeng. Everyone affectionately called Li Jinfeng "Secretary Li", "Key Steward" and "Girl Next Door". Community work is ordinary, but ordinary is not necessarily mediocre, Li Jinfeng thinks about the masses in his grassroots posts and becomes everyone's intimate person. Work is a stage for Li Jinfeng to realize his personal value.
The second story is the story of a senior technician in Jinan. At the beginning of this year, the "Quancheng Press Hall" released the list of winners of the "Most Beautiful Worker in Jinan" in 2023, including Wang Jianhui, a senior technician of automobile assembly and adjustment of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group. He has been working for 20 years and has been engaged in the commissioning and maintenance of vehicle electrical appliances, and the team he led has developed a CAN network flashing platform, which reduces the brushing time from about 20 minutes to 3 minutes, which greatly saves time costs. Wang Jianhui insisted on choosing a thing for the rest of his life, and made an important contribution to the development of the enterprise, and his experience proved that work can continue to temper and improve people, which can not only achieve a career, but also open up a new world for their own development.
Everyone is looking forward to having their own stage, displaying their talents and ambitions, and realizing their personal values. Some comrades are also distressed about finding a stage, and even feel that they have not met their talents, and complain about bad luck. The above two stories tell us that the best stage in life is actually around us.
You can calculate an account, for the vast majority of people, at least 8 hours a day, about 1/3 of the time is used for work, if you remove sleep, work accounts for about half of the free time, what is more in a person's life than work? Work brings us not only material, but also a training ground for ability improvement, a platform to show one's own value, and a place for self-cultivation.
An entrepreneur once said: "Work can exercise human nature, sharpen the mind, work is the most noble, the most important, the most valuable behavior in life." "Therefore, my understanding is that work is the best stage in life, whether it is for a livelihood or for ideals, this stage can help you achieve it.
In the face of work, different understandings lead to different attitudes and different achievements. Rockefeller, the American oil magnate, once warned his son in a letter: "If you regard work as a pleasure, life is heaven; If you see work as an obligation, life is hell. "The best stage, the best self.
Every job has a unique value, for party members and cadres, shouldering the mission of the times, shouldering the trust of the organization, shouldering the expectations of the people, but also full of awe, especially cherishing, like awe of dreams, like cherishing dreams, cherishing their own posts, and maintaining this stage like maintaining dignity. The unit is a big stage, and all the work is interlocking, and it needs both "big protagonists" and "small supporting roles", as well as "tricks". On stage, you have to play these three roles well.
One
Dare to be the protagonist
The protagonist stands in the C position, dazzling, and is the most important character on the stage. Put it in the work, the protagonist is often the "key minority", the "number one" in their respective positions, and the "leader" in the division of labor, which means that the responsibility is the greatest and the pressure is the greatest. For example, when we deploy "Quan" to celebrate the May Day activity in Jinan, and some departments and comrades are responsible for taking the lead, we need to play the leading role and do a good job in overall planning and planning. Of course, from a personal point of view, everyone is the protagonist of their respective position. Singing the protagonist must have the appearance of the protagonist, the standing position should be higher than others, the skills should be stronger than others, the pattern should be larger than others, and the outstanding should be exchanged for serving the public, and the advanced team should be used to motivate the team to forge ahead, and play the key role of the "key minority" to make the whole stage shine.
1. Be self-reliant, not reckless.
"Don't suffer from no position, suffer from it. "Ability" can stand", and the seat can "sit firm". When the protagonist and standing in the C position, we must first be self-reliant, have an enterprising heart, and always aim at the advanced and first-class. Self-improvement people are not willing to be mediocre, the pursuit of excellence, do not rely on luck by hard work, firmly grasp the initiative in their own hands, and promote career breakthroughs through struggle. But self-improvement is too much, and when you go to extremes, you often become stubborn. Being strong is a kind of show-off mentality, self-respecting, self-righteous, and living in your own small world "lonely and self-appreciative". The upper limit of the main character, which determines the upper limit of the team. Self-improvement, lead the team to become stronger, the strong, no one can be stronger than me, the team will only get weaker and weaker, such a protagonist will eventually be abandoned by the team.
2. It is necessary to take responsibility and not power.
With power comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes responsibility. Power and responsibility are equal, the more important the role, the greater the pressure, the higher the level, the greater the responsibility, being an official should not be easy, and no official will be light. When the cadres are responsible, the leading role must be responsible. To take responsibility, we must not only assume the "responsibility within the division", but also sometimes take the "additional responsibility". Some comrades may complain that "this matter is not under my control" and "I am not responsible for this work." I will do what I should do, I will look first at what we should do, and resolutely refrain from doing what I should not do. There is no distinction between inside and outside the work, doing a good job of "internal responsibility" is the duty, shouldering the "additional responsibility" is the pattern, doing a good job of "additional responsibility" in order to win "extra points", many times the achievement of life is often extraneous things.
Responsibility is not power, the difference between the two is a word, but the concept of political performance is completely different, the former is out of public intentions, and the latter is for personal interests. "Those who seize power have the power of the market, and those who hold the power of the market have the power of the market. "I want to take power into my own hands in everything, in addition to being uneasy about my subordinates, but also because I feel that it is beneficial to be in power more. If power is exercised and used for such a purpose, the exercise of power will inevitably not be fair, and the atmosphere of the unit will not be better. As the protagonists of the "key minority," we must learn to rationally delegate power and realize the unity of power and responsibility, which is also conducive to improving the efficiency and scientificity of decision-making. Decentralization, let go is intervention, release vitality, stimulate motivation.
3. We must make meritorious contributions without fighting for merit.
The Tao Te Ching says: "The way of the sage, for the sake of not fighting." It means that a noble person does things without merit. "We don't compete for spring, we only report the spring," and we communists also say that "success does not have to be me, success must have me." To sing the leading role, you must make contributions and make some achievements. Success is a good thing, and striving for merit and greed for merit has become a bad thing. As the "key minority" of entrepreneurship, we must understand this truth, the work is done by everyone, and the credit should be shared by everyone.
A protagonist, if there is a good thing, he will fight, he will grab the credit, and even take pride in the credit, I am afraid that no one wants to stay in such a team, and no one is willing to contribute. Honest people will not be able to suffer losses after all, and losses are often due to "dishonesty", and they will not succeed in striving for merit, and greed for merit will only make people fall into prison.
Whether the protagonist's work is in place, the key is to "look at both".
One has to look at the trophy. The trophy represents the achievement, and the achievement is the action. Look at the action, it depends on the position in the assessment of the superior department, whether it is commended, even if it is limited by objective conditions and cannot be among the best, it is necessary to continue to make progress; It depends on the status of the same industry in the country, whether the work has become a national model, and whether it has been shortlisted for the national pilot. The society continues to advance, work can not "eat the old book", want to win the trophy, one relies on struggle, the other relies on innovation.
To struggle, we must boost our spirit, set higher standards than others, make more efforts than others, take faster actions than others, and achieve better results than others. To innovate, we must take the road that others have not taken, do what others can't do, bravely enter the "no man's land", break through the "ceiling", and promote all work to continue to be in the forefront.
Second, we must look at word of mouth. "Gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the masses. The masses are the real "spokesmen" for judging our work, and we must use the "complexions" of the masses to test the "quality" of our work. If you win a trophy but lose your reputation, you would rather not have such a trophy. Just like there is a "escort" scandal in some competitions, for the sake of the trophy regardless of fairness and image, what is the use of such a trophy?
In doing work, whether it is making decisions or making arrangements, we must take the will of the people as the first starting point, let the masses stand in the C position, let the ideas of the masses become the "source of living water" for decision-making and deployment, and truly do the work in the hearts of the masses, not only to win trophies and do a good job, but also to win word of mouth and make the masses satisfied.
Two
Sweet Angle
There is often only one protagonist, and the vast majority of people need to be a supporting role most of the time. If everyone only wants to be a red flower rather than a green leaf, and they are only willing to do colorful work and not do hard work, then our work cannot be carried out. A supporting role is not insignificant, but an essential part of the overall work. To be a good supporting role, you must find the right position, be willing to be a ladder for others, and strive to be an unsung hero in your career.
1. Be obedient and not blindly obedient.
Without obedience, there is no execution. It is the rule that individuals obey the organization, subordinates obey superiors, and deputies obey their main positions.
As a supporting role, we must consciously obey the arrangement, and the organization will let you take on whatever role you want, and let you do whatever work you do, whether it is the so-called "hot bench" or "cold bench", whether it is an easy task or a difficult task, you will not lose motivation because of the unsatisfactory position and position, you will not retreat because of the difficulty of the conditions, and you will not be afraid to move forward because of the difficulty of the task, but obedience is by no means blind obedience.
Blind followers obey orders, only want to be a "microphone" and "mailroom", do not dare to go beyond the thunder pool, simply cope with the implementation of the work arrangements of the superiors, do what was done in the past, do what they do now, do what others do themselves, completely ignore the actual situation of their own units, do not make specific analysis and study of the parts of the document that need to be studied in detail, and ignore the matters that the subordinates care about and look forward to. Such "obedience" seems to have completed the task, but in fact it has not thoroughly understood the spirit of the superiors, so how can we talk about correct implementation, and how can we talk about implementation?
Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "Against Fundamentalism": "Blindly carrying out the instructions of the superiors on the surface and without objection is not really carrying out the instructions of the superiors, and this is the best way to oppose the instructions of the superiors or to sabotage the instructions of the superiors." "The most effective obedience is creative execution, and blind obedience to the script is false execution, and false execution is actually non-execution.
2. It is necessary to divide the labor without separating the family.
Work is a whole, and it is necessary to have a reasonable division of labor, so that each performs its own duties and fulfills its responsibilities. If the division of labor is too clear, dividing each other, talking about you and me, "only sweeping the snow in front of your own door, and not caring about the frost on the tiles of others" is not conducive to the connection of work, nor is it conducive to the unity of the unit. The division of labor is a good thing, but the separation of families is a big taboo. The division of labor does not separate families, that is, we must have a sense of the overall situation, be good at handling the relationship between the local and the overall situation and between the individual and the collective, and not engage in individual heroism, still less engage in individual heroism. "One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs. "When it comes to work, we must not only do our job well, but also be good at collaboration and helpfulness, and work together to complete a good job.
3. Be in place and not offside.
In place, it is "in its position, seeking its government", and doing the work that should be done well; Not offside, that is, to do things in a measured manner, understand the boundaries, can not overstep the boundary, do things beyond the reach of power, super overstepping, the request for instructions, the report of the report, the work that needs to be studied collectively will never be replaced by individual will. It is the duty to be in place, and it is the duty not to be offside. Only when the job is in place can people rest assured, and only when the duty is kept can people feel at ease. Of course, we can't use "no offside" as a shield for lazy government, and ask for instructions and report when we encounter something that takes risks.
Whether the supporting role work can be done in place, the key is to deal with the relationship between the three pairs.
1. It is necessary to deal with the relationship between the upper and the lower.
In the work, we often encounter the problem of "being responsible for the superior" and "being responsible for the subordinates". Whether it is to the top or the bottom, it is for the purpose of doing a good job and satisfying the masses, and the goals and pursuits of the two are the same, and the relationship between the two is unified and inseparable. However, in reality, some comrades have set the two in opposition, holding that "being responsible to the lower levels is not good and being responsible to the higher-ups," "being responsible to the higher levels cannot be completely responsible to the lower levels," and "not being afraid that the masses will not be satisfied, but that the leaders will not pay attention." No matter how small the matter arranged by the leadership is, it is a big matter, and no matter how big the demands of the subordinates and the masses are, it is also a small matter. "The upper level is not the lower", artificially causing "intestinal obstruction" in the work, what affects the implementation of the task, and what is lost is the trust of the subordinates and the masses. If the work is not done well and the masses are not satisfied, how can the higher authorities be satisfied? If we properly handle the relationship between the higher and lower levels, we will never do the stupid thing of thinking that the leaders are satisfied but disappointing the masses. On the one hand, it is necessary to implement the tasks and arrangements of the superiors to the letter, and on the other hand, it is necessary to empathize with others, with sincerity and true feelings, and have more understanding, tolerance, and respect for the subordinates and the masses.
2. It is necessary to handle the relationship between internal and external.
A lot of work is open, and it is impossible for either an individual or a unit or department to live behind closed doors, and this involves the issue of properly handling internal and external relations. There is a difference between inside and outside, and both inside and outside must be dealt with.
Internally, it is necessary to stress dedication and enhance cohesion. Speaking of dedication, we must be able to endure hardships, suffer losses, be able to bear anger, stress principles in big things, style in small things, and work together in unity, more responsibility for others, less calculation of personal gains and losses, more mind for big accounts, less shrewdness for small accounts, and achieve overall brilliance with personal dedication.
Externally, it is necessary to stress coordination and establish a good reputation. Coordination is a means, an art, but also a kind of ability, it is necessary to enhance the initiative, flexibility, purpose, active not passive, serious not serious, success is not a bad thing, so that the relevant units and departments are familiar with and understand, willing to cooperate with support, for the smooth development of the work to create a good external environment.
"Straighten out" internally, "get along" externally, and do both internal and external training, and the work will naturally be carried out.
3. It is necessary to deal with the relationship between the individual and the whole.
The unit is a team, and the team needs to be united, and unity has strength. Whoever unites more people will have greater strength and smooth work. To do a good job in unity, it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between the individual and the whole. The whole is made up of individuals, and at the same time commands and dominates the individuals. As far as the individual is concerned, it is necessary to have a view of the overall situation, "being in the position of the soldier, and planning for the commander", consciously standing in the overall situation to think about problems and do things, so that the local is subordinate to the overall situation, and the individual is subordinate to the collective.
At the same time, when dealing with specific affairs, we must constantly adjust and optimize the pace of work according to the overall situation, and understand and think about the role and purpose of everything we do, and how to better obey and serve the overall situation.
Three
Run a good show
"There are no small roles, only small actors. "On the stage, no matter how small the role is, as long as you ponder it carefully, practice repeatedly, and interpret it with emotion, it can still be unforgettable and become a classic that cannot be surpassed.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the article "Miscellaneous Talks on Politics": "Young cadres must have an honest attitude, be willing to do the most ordinary things, and be willing to play the role of picking up and filling in the gaps. "Young comrades, who are new to the workplace, often lack experience and experience, and need to start from some trivial and trivial things. Only by doing small things well can we do big things, and this is the inevitable law of the growth of cadres.
1. Be willing and not discouraged.
Mentality determines the state, and the state determines success or failure. In real work, some young people are so ambitious, just out of the ivory tower, feel that they are a high-spirited "thousand miles horse", unwilling to do trivial things such as making and receiving calls, making forms, uploading and disseminating, etc., always feel that this is overkill, suffering from no "Bole". As everyone knows, if you don't work hard, even if you meet "Bole", you will miss out. "Running the show", the mentality is very important, to be willing, not reluctant. "Complaining too much to prevent intestinal breakage, and the scenery should be long-term", if you are willing, you will be calm and at ease, do small things as big things, do miscellaneous things as serious things, do it, do it well.
Willingness is not discouragement, being willing to "run the show" and do small things is to become the "protagonist" and do big things in the future, and discouragement makes people disheartened, holding the mentality of "playing soy sauce", taking "running tricks" as a burden, taking small things as annoyance, and finally forgetting their hearts, losing their original intentions, and even trying to escape from the "sea of suffering". You can't do small things, you can't do big things, and in the end you won't achieve anything.
Willingness is a valuable realm, and when the realm is high, the pattern will be great; Discouragement is a terrible abyss, and once you fall into it, it is difficult to come out.
2. Pay attention to not compromised.
Paying attention is to be serious in doing things, and there are goals and standards for everything, which is a positive attitude. Will, that is, to do things perfunctorily, is a negative makeshift mentality. People who pay attention to it have principles in being officials, have a bottom line in life, and have rules and regulations in doing things, and do their best to do things better and more satisfactorily. Those who are about to settle do not seek to get by, but only to get by, and everything is "almost" and "passable". As everyone knows, "almost" is often much worse, and "passable" will only not get by.
Since ancient times, all those who have become great have taken "seriousness" as their life creed. "Running the show", we must have an ingenuity of excellence, treat the work rigorously and meticulously, grasp every detail, do every little thing well, connect every link well, work for a long time, improve every day, let yourself become an expert in the field, and one day stand out.
3. Be persistent and not stubborn.
Success lies in persistence, persistence, it is necessary to repeat simple things, repetitive things to do seriously, serious things to do innovatively, big things and small things to do fine is an expert, and miscellaneous and difficult things are done well is a winner. But insisting on what should be insisted on is perseverance, and insisting on what should not be insisted on becomes stubbornness. Stubbornness is stubbornness and inflexibility, which is what we often call brainlessness, which is reflected in the fact that in work it is often obstinate and unable to listen to the opinions of others, and one road to the dark. Being a man and doing things often leads to persistence and defeat to stubbornness. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ma Tan was self-righteous and arbitrary, but he lost the street pavilion and forced Zhuge Liang to cry. Insist on not being stubborn, you must understand your own circle of ability, find the right position and direction, do your best, do what you can, once you leave this circle without authorization, stubborn, do not know how to be flexible, you will fall into the situation of "self-exaltation must be dangerous, complacency must overflow". Persistence is a kind of wisdom, and stubbornness is a kind of rigidity.
The key to running a good trick is to establish a consciousness: play the "trick" as the protagonist. Playing tricks may be a small role in the whole play, but from another point of view, it can also be the protagonist in his own position. Only by playing the "dragon set" as the protagonist can you become the protagonist one day.
The stage of the cause is personal and everyone's, and it needs to be maintained by everyone. To maintain the stage well, it is necessary to achieve "five do's".
1. Don't "treat the rules as decorations".
Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, set up a monument in front of the government at all levels, and wrote: "Erfeng Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive" 16 big characters, warning officials not to do things that oppress the people. The ancients used the precept monument to warn the officials, and we should also keep the precept monument in mind when we do our work.
The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and there are no rules. Life in the world, work and life, self-cultivation, and interacting with people, are inseparable from the rules everywhere. For party members and cadres, to abide by the rules, it is necessary to strictly abide by party discipline and state law, strictly abide by rules and regulations, and strictly abide by work style and family style. The ancients said: "The heart is like a rule, the ambition is like a ruler, the calm is like water, and the integrity is like a rope." "Obeying the rules is a kind of self-discipline, and you can restrain yourself when no one is around; is a kind of wisdom that does not risk making mistakes for short-term gain; It is a kind of morality, honesty, duty, reassuring and trustworthy. Only by knowing the rules, keeping the rules, and being with the people who abide by the rules can we keep life.
The key to abiding by the rules is to do the same as the big right and wrong and the small things, the same on and off the stage, the same in good times and in bad times, do something, do something, and not do anything, not only to do things, but also not to have accidents. If nothing happens, it's the bottom line, and if you can't keep the bottom line, you will lose everything and lose everything.
2. Do not "do not distinguish between public and private".
The issue of public and private runs through all aspects of the work of the organs, and it needs to be clarified and straightened out. Party members and cadres hold public power and are public servants of the people, and they must stress selflessness and a clear distinction between public and private, putting public before private, and forgetting selfishness. But at the same time, party members and cadres are also human beings, with seven emotions and six desires, as well as their own relatives and friends. No matter how the society develops and how complex the interpersonal relationship is, people should be love-oriented, and cherish family affection, friendship, comradeship, and the love of the people. There are more than 100 comrades in our propaganda department, and the probability of everyone getting together and becoming colleagues is very low. Treat colleagues, relatives and friends, have a "human touch", care for each other, help each other, and motivate each other, but must not owe "human debts", because of a meal, a gift money, a private matter, they will fall into passivity, and even because of the repayment of debts and step by step into the bottomless abyss of seeking personal interests for public purposes. Between public and private thoughts, honor and disgrace are two heavens.
On how to deal with the "dividing line" between power and family affection? We might as well learn from Comrade Mao Zedong's concept of family affection, and he always adhered to three principles in handling family affection, that is, "loving relatives should not favor relatives, cherishing the old should not seek benefits for the old ones, and helping relatives should not support relatives." The word public and private, testing official morality, work style, and party spirit, and drawing a clear line of demarcation and guarding the "dividing line" will be able to establish a heroic and righteous atmosphere.
3. Don't "take the platform as a skill".
In the TV series "Qiao's Courtyard", Sun Mao is the right-hand man of the Qiao family. He was originally a poor scholar who was destitute and despondent, and after defecting to the Qiao family, he made great contributions, but he was kicked out of the Qiao family due to selfish desires. Later, Sun Mao wanted to defect to the Qiao family's rival Da Shengchang, but was categorically rejected by the other party: It was the Qiao family's business that made you, not you who made the Qiao family's business! Lao Tzu once said: "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." "But some people are on the prominent stage and in a high position, and they will have the illusion that once they have achieved something, they will take it for granted that they have attributed it to their own efforts, and even think that they have achieved the platform. There is a saying that is good, not because you grow tall, but because you stand on a high place. At all times, we must understand a truth: the reason why individuals are successful is that this era and this position provide us with a platform to succeed. Without us, there are others, perhaps better than us.
There is a "straw law". A straw on the side of the road will always be just a straw if no one pays attention to it. But if the crab seller takes it and binds the crab, it is worth as much as the crab. The value of people is sometimes like a straw, the key depends on what team you join, what platform you stand on, and who you are with. People are self-aware, recognize their own position, and can't help but take themselves seriously, and they can't take themselves too seriously. You might as well think: Who are you without your current position, and can you still have the glamour you have now?
4. Don't "go off the stage for a minute, and be busy fighting for merit on stage".
As the saying goes: one minute on stage, ten years off the stage. Success requires long-term accumulation and dedication, and work needs to be taken step by step. Some people fall into the misunderstanding, thinking that the off-stage efforts are not visible to others, and the on-stage performance is the "highlight", focusing on the surface of the article, and trying to create a "visible" image project. This may be hidden for a while, but it will inevitably be revealed in the end. The so-called accumulation means that we usually work hard and accumulate well, and only at the critical moment can we stand up and achieve breakthroughs. Behind the superficial articles is a knot of eagerness for quick success, and some comrades always want to "eat fat in one go". If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, slow work out fine work, just like stewing on low heat, stew slowly to stew out the taste, and the same is true for work.
Any career is difficult to achieve overnight, there is a gradual and quantitative accumulation process, the work of the stage is the guarantee of the stage brilliant, sit on the cold bench, practice strong basic skills, there will be brilliance on the stage.
5. Do not "dismantle other people's platforms and make up your own".
Everyone performs well on stage in order to perform brilliantly together. At work, it is inevitable that some people will make mistakes of one kind or another, and then the rest of the team will have to stand up and make up for the mistakes. If you only think about "tearing down other people's platforms and making up your own," it is impossible to have a good ending. If the whole play goes wrong, how can there be any individual brilliance? Moreover, if you don't make up for others today, who will make up for you tomorrow?" complement each other's stage, and the show is continuous; Tear each other down and collapse together. "Filling the table is not only responsible for the team, but also paving the way for the individual. To dismantle someone else's platform is to dig a pit for yourself. To do work, we must take into account the overall situation, stress unity, support each other at ordinary times, help each other at critical moments, and promote the cause of "good shows".
Work is the best stage, but it is by no means an easy stage to succeed. Truly meaningful things are never easy and easy, and the heavier the responsibility, the more difficult it becomes, but only by doing difficult things that others can't do, can we stand on the heights that others can't reach. On the stage of your career, only when you perform brilliantly can you win applause. (Source: Jinan Publicity)
