The people's army has gone through 82 years, from the initial illiteracy to the present mechanization and informationization. Standing at a new historical starting point, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission have made a grand plan to recruit10.3 million college graduates from 2009. This strategic decision will further optimize the quality and knowledge structure of the army and lay a solid foundation for accelerating the modernization process of our army. From then on, the construction of our army will turn a new page. From "I am a soldier, from an ordinary person" to "I am a soldier, from a college student", the new period and new stage put forward higher requirements for grassroots soldiers. How to bring and use college student soldiers well? Promoting the all-round construction and development of the army has become a brand-new task before the soldiers. Contemporary college soldiers in the army have the characteristics of high education level and strong sense of * *, but their self-care ability and hard-working spirit are poor, and they are easy to get emotional. It takes a long process from a free university life to a disciplined army. At present, grass-roots cadres in the army often put strict leadership first, so they should further strengthen the concept of leading troops with emotion, truly understand, serve and love soldiers, and dare to combine emotion, reason and law organically. Practice has proved that leading troops is the key for grass-roots officers to be good cadres and leaders. However, under the new situation of market economy, a few comrades' awareness of loving soldiers has gradually faded, and they do not pay attention to the exchanges between soldiers, resulting in a certain gap between officers and men. It is imperative to advocate leading troops with affection. First, grassroots cadres lead troops with emotion, which means that they should be familiar with the inner world of soldiers and master the psychology of soldiers; Understand the joys and sorrows of soldiers, care for soldiers with deep and sincere feelings, and realize emotional exchange and communication between managers and managed people. Only by mutual trust and understanding can we do a good job in management. So how many layers of meaning does the "emotion" in the emotions of grassroots cadres have? The "affection" we say here usually refers to the friendship of war, the affection of loving mothers and the affection of teachers. The relationship between officers and men is objective, so it is often difficult to grasp the feelings between officers and men. This requires grass-roots officers to overcome soldiers' weariness and desertion, put down their airs, dive down, drill more into soldiers, live, work and play with soldiers, and let them feel that cadres are leaders in their work and comrades-in-arms and friends in their lives. This is what we call war friendship. Soldiers who come to the army and stay away from their hometown, parents and relatives are prone to psychological loneliness. Grass-roots officers should pay more attention to the sufferings and warmth of soldiers with the heart of loving mothers. Seriously understand the personal family situation of soldiers, take the initiative to solve practical problems for them, relieve worries and let them feel the warmth of the organization and the extended family. Then it is to guide the soldiers on the right way forward with the feelings of teachers. Most soldiers are simple-minded, and their outlook on life and world is highly plastic, so they especially need correct guidance. Grass-roots soldiers have the responsibility to guide and educate soldiers with teachers' feelings, strengthen their "four educations", tell soldiers the truth of being a man with personal experience and things around them, and educate them to be determined to serve the country. Second, the great significance of continuing to adhere to the emotional lead troops in the new period (1) Practice has proved that emotional lead troops is the key emotion to enhance cohesion and consolidate combat effectiveness, and it has great appeal. What touches people's hearts is before emotions. Sun Tzu's Art of War advocates "taking a pawn as a son" and "taking a pawn as a baby". Yue Fei, a national hero, is famous for "loving soldiers like children" and "loving people like parents". Some people in foreign management circles call feelings "the God of Management". However, in the history of China, two famous soldiers, Wu Qi and Zhang Fei, have different consequences caused by their different ways of leading troops, which deserves our deep consideration. According to Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Wu Qi, a general in the Warring States Period, was compassionate and concerned about foot soldiers. "Sleeping without a seat, walking without a ride, eating with food, sharing pains with the foot soldiers" and "those who are sick and gangrenous will start to suck", which makes the foot soldiers emotional and bravely kill the enemy every time they get cold feet. Therefore, Wuqi's country has won many wars, never lost, and made many achievements. However, what is absolutely different is that Zhang Fei, the general of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, is brave and good at fighting. "Taking the general's head from a million-strong army is like taking something from a bag." However, because he was impatient, addicted to alcohol, didn't care about the soldiers and whipped his subordinates, he was finally killed by Fan Da and Zhang Qiang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is a pity that a generation of all-powerful and brave warriors failed to die in the battlefield and died at the hands of their subordinates. From Wuqi sucking gangrene to Zhang Fei's death, we can easily understand a very simple truth. Taking care of soldiers with affection can unite people's hearts, enhance the combat effectiveness of troops, beat and scold soldiers, distract morale and weaken combat effectiveness. In the long-term revolutionary struggle, our army has formed a unique excellent management method of leading troops with emotion. During the Red Army period, the living conditions in Jinggangshan were difficult. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De personally picked grain and transported rice with the Red Army soldiers, leaving a much-told story of "Zhu De carrying pole". It was the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries who took the lead and cared for the soldiers, which formed a strong cohesive force of our army, and enabled the China revolution to start a prairie fire with a single spark, from victory to victory. Under the new historical conditions, our army shoulders the historical responsibility of defending the sovereignty of the motherland and the state, and it is even more necessary for our grass-roots officers to lead troops with emotion, so that officers and men can unite as one, form cohesion, and complete the historical mission entrusted to our army by the party and the state. (2) The characteristics of contemporary young soldiers objectively require grass-roots officers to lead troops with emotion. With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the composition of army soldiers has become more complex and diverse. Nowadays, the proportion of only children among young soldiers has increased significantly. Most of them are loved by their families, and their remarkable feature is their poor self-care ability and hard-working spirit. They come from warm families to the army, from familiar towns to remote and hard military camps, and they will encounter many unimaginable difficulties because of the tense military camp life, strict discipline and hard military training. Soldiers are far away from home, separated from their parents for a long time, and are in a new environment and interpersonal relationship. They need the support of leaders when they encounter difficulties, hope to be encouraged by leaders when they are frustrated, and hope to be helped by leaders when they have shortcomings. This requires our grassroots cadres to care about them as much as their parents and brothers, help them improve their independent living ability, and let them feel the warmth and fun of the army everywhere. At present, soldiers in the army also have the characteristics of great differences in educational level, strong sense of competition and easy to get emotional. This requires cadres not only to care about soldiers in life, but also to help them grow up as soon as possible with a responsible attitude, so that they can temper their strong will in training and cultivate the principle of dealing with people in life. Soldiers have served in the army for a short time, but they have a long life. To solve the problem of being a man, we should be familiar with the personality characteristics and hobbies of each soldier, distinguish different levels according to their cultural qualities and basic abilities, and educate them step by step to understand what they are thinking, doing and needing. Only in this way can soldiers approach us from the heart and take the initiative to pour out their true thoughts. Only in this way can we reach a spiritual resonance with the soldiers, thus trickling our own thoughts into the hearts of soldiers, better close the relationship between officers and soldiers, and inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our army. (3) At present, grass-roots cadres' consciousness of leading troops with affection has faded, and it is necessary to further strengthen the concept of leading troops with affection. Under the new situation of reform and opening up and the development of socialist market economy, some new situations and problems have emerged in the internal relations of our army. In some grass-roots units, the relationship between officers and soldiers is tense and cadres can't speak well. The main reason is that some cadres have a weak concept of loving soldiers and do not care enough about the progress, suffering and warmth of soldiers. In particular, they lack due respect and trust for some soldiers, and some even beat, scold and physically punish soldiers, insulting their personality. On the one hand, because of the long-term peaceful environment, officers and men are not often subjected to the severe test of life and death as in the war years, so some young officers lack personal experience of the extreme importance of unity within the army, so that the friendship between officers and men in some units has faded, and the fine tradition of unity between officers and men has not been well adhered to; On the other hand, under the negative influence of the commercialization and vulgarization of some interpersonal relationships in the market economy, some officers and men have obvious utilitarian colors in their exchanges, and they are engaged in "returning the favor" and "being indifferent at ordinary times and being anxious." Some cadres are unfair in handling affairs and incorruptible in administration, take care of each other, encroach on the interests of soldiers and accept gifts from soldiers, which leads to the deterioration of the relationship between officers and soldiers. (1) When you lead troops with affection, you must know and love soldiers. Knowing soldiers is the basis and premise of leading troops with affection. The purpose of knowing soldiers is to know their morale. In order to understand the morale of soldiers, soldiers must first put down their airs and go to the soldiers, mingle with them, eat and live together, practice and share joys and sorrows. Only in this way can we eliminate the distance between officers and soldiers and be familiar with the soldiers' thoughts, work, study, life, personality characteristics, psychological state and family environment. Soldiers will only treat cadres as intimate friends, speak their minds and say that their hearts are bitter. Only in this way can soldiers know what they are thinking, doing and needing, so that they will not be confused by superficial phenomena, and really suit the remedy to the case, and "open a lock with a key" to do the work. Love for soldiers means that people who lead troops should always care about the sufferings of soldiers and take solving problems for soldiers as their duty. Love for soldiers has produced a strong spiritual motivation, which is a feeling and a leader's responsibility. It is very important to love soldiers and bring good soldiers. Only love for soldiers can bring the psychological distance and life distance of officers and men closer to the maximum, and remove the obstacles that hinder their feelings. Practice has proved that loving soldiers is the source of strength to unite the morale of the military. With love, the military will "gather". The deeper you love, the tighter you get together. Without love, the morale of the army will be scattered, leaving the soldiers, both physically and mentally, is the reduction and loss of the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops. In the new era, in the face of the new situation that the only child is increasing year by year and the structure of soldiers is constantly changing, changing hearts, feelings and love will have strange effects. Love for soldiers is a feeling closely related to patriotism and love for the people, and it is a sacred mission to be responsible for the army and the future war. The "six rules of loving soldiers" stipulated in the internal affairs regulations are the basic guidelines for our army to deal with the relationship between officers and men. Grass-roots officers must study hard, clarify their responsibilities, enhance their sense of responsibility for close relations between officers and soldiers, and truly treat soldiers with affection. In the new era, we should also have new ideas and concepts, pay attention to scientific methods and art, and love the army to a new realm. Under the new situation of great changes in the ideology and values of officers and men, it is far from enough to care only about the warmth and coldness of soldiers. More importantly, we should start from the needs of soldiers and troops, care about their growth and progress, care about their development and success, and strive to improve their thoughts, knowledge and talents, so as to make them qualified soldiers in the army and outstanding local talents. (2) To lead troops with emotion, we should be good at combining emotion, reason and law organically. When we talk about bringing soldiers with affection, we don't just spoil and protect soldiers. In actual management, we should organically combine rationality with law. In particular, when military personnel violate discipline or even violate the law, they must have the feat of "putting righteousness above family members" and must not tolerate it, which runs counter to the fine tradition of our military management. Pay attention to emotions, be reasonable, and finally act in strict accordance with rules and regulations. Indulge blindly, you will feel that your behavior is correct, and you will be more presumptuous in your later life; If forced punishment, it is easy for him to break the jar and ruin his future military career. It can be seen that the combination of theory and law plays a very important role in management. (3) Pay attention to high style when leading troops. When we say that leading troops with affection and paying attention to high style, we must first overcome the wrong tendency of replacing "big" with "small". Leading troops with affection requires soldiers to be good at combining the truth with the truth, managing the truth with the truth, finding the right "combination point", choosing the right "breakthrough point" and telling the truth to the soldiers' hearts. However, some grassroots cadres mistakenly believe that post-80s soldiers don't believe in major principles, but only believe in minor ones. Soldiers will be disgusted when they talk about big things, and they can be close to their feelings when they talk about small things. Therefore, when doing ideological work, some comrades often lower their standards and adopt the methods of "comforting words" and "settling accounts". If we don't talk about the dedication of revolutionary soldiers, but say, "The troops really have nothing to do, but they can't leave if they want to, then stick to it!" The language of waiting is not conducive to the soldiers' peace of mind and their image as cadres. Secondly, we should overcome the good humanism in management. At present, some soldiers lead troops with affection and strictly manage them, emphasizing only the influence of affection and ignoring the management effect of law. Some believe in the philosophy of "peacemakers", and when soldiers have problems, they make major problems small and trivial, and even cover them up when their superiors investigate and excuse them. Others exaggerate the practicality and practical elements of soldiers in the new situation, replace management education with the materialization principle of satisfying selfish desires, "give milk at night" and "give pillows when sleeping", which makes some soldiers' personal demands endless and ideological problems more and more. This practice often "treats the symptoms rather than the root cause", leading to a vicious circle. Therefore, the soldiers in the new era must understand the truth that "strictness is love, and looseness is harm", resolutely overcome humanism and be responsible for the soldiers and the troops. Finally, we should abandon vulgar and low-level feelings to lead troops. Some soldiers confuse love with local concepts and feelings, regard love as personal friendship, and replace the relationship between officers and men with local relations. In this way, dividing people from the same hometown and acquaintances into relatives and friends will inevitably result in favoring one person and hurting everyone's hearts, which completely violates the principle of leading troops with affection under the new situation. Therefore, leading troops with affection requires the troops to treat every comrade fairly and frankly, so as to unite, manage and lead soldiers well and enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the troops. In short, in the past revolutionary war years, relying on the leadership of the party, the support of the people and the good relationship between officers and men, our army radiated unparalleled strength and created historic great victories and glories.
