Harm: first, formalism hinders the implementation of the party's principles and policies. Formalism does not pay attention to investigation and study, does not understand the actual situation, has no ideas, advocates empty talk, and is in a blind state in its work, which will inevitably affect the smooth flow of party and state decrees, affect practical work, and lead to information failure and decision-making mistakes.
Second, formalism corrupts the social atmosphere. The spread of formalism is bound to encourage the wind of not telling the truth and practicing fraud, encourage lazy thinking and bad tendency to treat superiors, affect the relationship between cadres and the masses, and affect the healthy growth of cadres. At the same time, it undermines the party's ideological line of seeking truth from facts and is bound to encourage bad work style.
Third, formalism leads to rampant bureaucracy. Formalism and bureaucracy grow together and support each other. Formalism and bureaucracy have the same origin, that is, they do not go deep into the grassroots and do not engage in investigation and research; Layout work should create momentum and stay away from the work style of seeking truth from facts; Everything is routine, and some figures are used to deal with superiors. This is bound to delay the work, delay the cause, and cause damage to the cause of the party. Therefore, formalism needs to be solved urgently. Only by seeking truth and being pragmatic can we be pragmatic and honest for the people.
(2) Bureaucracy is mainly characterized by being divorced from reality, divorced from the masses, aloof, indifferent to reality, narcissism and self-expansion. The main manifestations of our bureau are: lack of enterprising consciousness and weak sense of responsibility; Lack of sense of responsibility, often walking around in emergencies, afraid of taking responsibility; Too many work arrangements, less supervision and inspection, and insufficient guidance for grass-roots forestry, forest areas and forest farmers; Thought is not emancipated enough, conformism, complacency, many reasons to say no, few ways to say good, and so on.
