Basic conditions for a principal to hold a post
Be good at the ideological work of faculty and students and carry out moral education. We can proceed from reality and take effective measures to promote the all-round development of students.
Have the ability to attend classes, evaluate classes and guide teaching, research and extracurricular activities. Have the ability to guide teachers to improve their professional level and teaching level.
Be good at giving play to the role of mass organizations. Can coordinate all aspects of the relationship inside and outside the school, and give play to the positive role of society and parents in doing a good job in school work.
Focusing on educating people, we should study the new situation and new problems in school education, carry out experimental activities in education and teaching from reality, sum up experience and continuously improve the quality of education and teaching.
Have a certain writing skills, and be able to draft school work reports, plans, summaries, etc. Can speak Mandarin. Good oral communication skills.
"Being a principal is being a man" is related to the role and responsibility of the principal, not just how to be a man in the general sense.
The career of a university will last for generations. The development of a university must be based on the long-term, future-oriented and have its own core ideas. In this interview, what impressed me the most was that everyone unanimously emphasized the spiritual factor-the concept of university is very important. Many principals regard "forming a recognized concept in school" as their most important work to influence this school.
I've been thinking about a problem. We have been talking about running schools according to the education law, but what is the education law? I think, is it also the law of higher education to form a school-running concept that conforms to the development of universities and create a working atmosphere that is conducive to its realization? I think this is at least a very important thing in college.
Once the idea of a university is accepted by everyone, it will become the criterion for people to act consciously. As a principal, it is not necessarily impossible to be familiar with every field, but if the ideas of the university are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then when facing specific problems, the executives will take these ideas as guidance and come up with better ways to solve them.

If teachers take academics as their career and treat students well as the principle, then teaching and scientific research in universities will certainly achieve something; If our school agrees that "professors are universities" and "treat students well", then they will certainly serve teachers and classmates well, thus forming a good culture.
I never think that a university president should be a public figure, but in fact, this position is often the focus of media and public opinion, and the president's words and deeds are often misunderstood by people who are not familiar with the field of higher education. If there are moral flaws, it is easier to become the target of public criticism. Therefore, for individuals, we must be strictly self-disciplined and not give others room for speculation.
A harmonious whole is created by each individual who is "mutually external environment". Everyone should hold the mentality of mutual respect, mutual appreciation and mutual understanding, so as to discover the advantages of others, bridge their differences, tolerate each other's shortcomings and understand and respect the weaknesses of human nature.
Therefore, in the process of working and getting along, we should learn to see the advantages and strengths of others first. I also often advocate "criticizing people to their faces and praising them behind their backs". Only in this way can the communication between them be harmonious and everyone's mood be happy.
Third, when it comes to respect, we should not only respect our colleagues, but also respect history, which to some extent inherits history.
Respecting history means respecting the culture and reality of this university. Only in this way can we truly integrate into the academic community of Sun Yat-sen University. I have always stressed that we must realize that our present work achievements have been made on the basis left by our predecessors. An important award today may be the work accumulated ten years ago, and it will never be the result of a recent decision/policy. We can't take the achievements of heaven for ourselves.
At the same time, we should inherit the fine traditions of the university, rather than rushing to change anything.
In short, communicating with people in an open mind and way and spreading the concept of "respecting others, respecting history and appreciating each other" to the whole school will certainly play a very positive role in maintaining a harmonious campus atmosphere.
Be careful in running a school, and the most important thing is to have public interests. In my opinion, only when there is public interest can we seek/do things and realize things.
"Intention" has another meaning, that is, to be good at thinking. I once said, "Winners find ways, losers find reasons." At work, we will always encounter such and such problems. We should remember that the solutions are always more difficult than the difficulties. As long as you think hard, you will always find a solution to the problem.
Therefore, universities should have their own core values, a kind of character, self-confidence and courage that don't go with the flow, and dare to stick to themselves even under pressure. I think this is also one of the most important aspects that a university president dares to take on.
