First, the concept and elements of leading cadres' executive power
The so-called executive power is the ability to perform and complete tasks. The executive power of leading cadres refers to the ability of leading cadres to put the line, principles, policies or plans of the party and the country into practice, which is the concrete embodiment of leading cadres' ruling ability. Executive ability can comprehensively reflect the working ability and level of a leading cadre, and directly affect organizational decision-making and the realization of goals. The executive power of leading cadres is a comprehensive ability, including decoding power, obedience power, organization power, innovation power and control power.
Decoding ability
Leading cadres are the implementers and executors of the policies and regulations of the party and the state, and there is a problem of understanding the decision-making of superiors in connection with the actual situation of their own departments or regions. In other words, there is a problem of understanding and combination, which is the problem of decoding power. Decoding power refers to improving the ability of leading cadres to understand policies and tasks, and improving the ability to combine policies with practice. With high decoding power, profound understanding and thorough comprehension, when implemented, the superior policies can be combined with the local reality and the superior decisions can be implemented.
(2) Obey
Execution is a kind of obedience. Obedience means that under the leadership of superiors, we produce behaviors that meet the requirements of superiors' norms. Obedience is a reflection of organizational concept. In the process of implementation, the first thing is obedience. Only by obeying can we achieve the same feelings, understanding and actions. If subordinates do not obey the unified instructions and have their own ideas, the work cannot be carried out. "No excuses" is the most important code of conduct of the United States Military Academy at West Point for 200 years. It embodies a submissive attitude. If your subordinates can't obey orders, what's your mentality? From ourselves to others, we should also obey our superiors. It is a basic working principle that the minority obeys the majority, the subordinates obey the superiors and the individuals obey the organization.
(3) Organizational strength
The so-called organization is the process of designing and maintaining the internal structure of the organization, coordinating the relationship between them, and making people work effectively to achieve the set goals. The smooth implementation of all our decisions and plans requires not only the obedience of cadres, but also the guarantee of organizational strength. The organizational power of leading cadres refers to the talents and skills that should be possessed in the process of correctly using the power in their hands, coordinating organizational relations, rationally mobilizing, utilizing, allocating and developing various resources, and efficiently achieving leadership goals.
innovate
Creativity is the unity and synthesis of human knowledge, skills, intelligence and wisdom. The creativity of leading cadres generally means that we can think of what others have never thought of, see what others have never seen, do what others have never done, put forward new ideas, invent new methods, overcome difficulties that ordinary people or predecessors can't overcome, solve problems that ordinary people or predecessors can't solve, and achieve new breakthroughs in our work. As the saying goes, the solution is always more difficult than the reality. Facts have proved that how this work is done has a great relationship with the innovative ability of local leading cadres.
(5) Control power
The control of leading cadres in the implementation is directly related to whether the policy is deformed, whether the implementation is in place, and whether the masses approve it. Control is an evaluation, accountability and adjustment. No matter how perfect the plan is, it is impossible to foresee all the uncertainties that will occur during the implementation of the plan. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the actual results with the original goals and make a systematic and objective evaluation. Through evaluation and accountability, the deviations and problems found in the implementation process are adjusted in time, and corrective and perfect measures are put forward. Make the implementation more satisfactory.
Second, several phenomena of poor execution of cadres at present
(A) "sloppy" phenomenon. Carelessness can be seen everywhere, and there is no concern and feeling for the deviation in implementation, which leads to some major decisions staying on paper. (2) "standard" phenomenon. Actively carry out things that are in line with your own wishes or the interests of the department, otherwise it will be irresponsible and lack of team spirit to delay or not seriously implement them. (3) "dogma" phenomenon. Some cadres simply repeat the documents and speech spirit of their superiors, which is actually a passive perfunctory attitude towards the spirit of their superiors. (D) "prevarication" phenomenon. Do not actively complete the tasks assigned by superiors, especially the important tasks, but try their best to push the tasks to others or other departments; For work problems involving the cooperation of multiple departments, it is even more wrangling with each other to find excuses to avoid responsibility. This is the most common and fatal problem reflected in execution. There is no excuse for execution, no excuse for poor execution, and no excuse for problems. The essence of making excuses is to be free from responsibility, which is a manifestation of lack of professionalism, sense of mission and professionalism. (5) "monopoly" phenomenon. Some cadres are keen to hold power in their hands, and as a result, their own people have nothing to do, but they are exhausted and inefficient in execution. In fact, this is a lack of organization and coordination, and it is hindering the improvement of execution efficiency.
Third, how to improve the executive power of leading cadres.
(A) in emancipating the mind to improve execution, thought is the forerunner of action, and emancipating the mind is the premise of improving execution.
Emancipating the mind should be linked with practice. It is necessary to link personal thoughts with reality, put yourself in, and seriously find out the problems existing in your ideological realm, work style, ability and quality. You can't just look at others without looking at yourself like a flashlight. We should effectively solve the problems of planning more than practice, foreseeing more than foresight, and satisfying more than competition, emancipate our minds from the shackles of ideas, practices and institutional mechanisms that go against Scientific Outlook on Development's requirements, and make our thoughts and actions more in line with the Party's ideological line and Scientific Outlook on Development's requirements.
To emancipate the mind, we must be brave in innovation. Creative implementation of superior spirit is the highest realm of execution. In the implementation, the leader is more of an idea, setting a goal, setting a deadline and putting forward the expected results, which requires the executor to have the ability to plan the whole operation process, and the results should exceed the expectations of the leader as much as possible. People who can localize and specialize the decisions of their superiors are excellent talents with strong execution. To be brave in innovation, we must first dare to think, rush and break through. Some bright spots in our work, some bright spots, rely on innovation. Anything that is conducive to accelerating development must be done unswervingly; Anything that is not conducive to accelerating development should be changed without hesitation, the liberation of ideas should really drive the release of creativity, and the renewal of ideas should drive the innovation of work.
(2) improve execution in diligent thinking.
Execution includes the knowledge and skills needed to perform tasks, and it is the concentrated expression of the learning ability and knowledge ability of departments, organizations and individuals. Sharp tools make good work. Only with certain skills and abilities can we be competent for certain posts and responsibilities and perform them more effectively.
Executive ability is constantly improved by learning. Jews are one of the smartest people in the world. According to statistics, from 190 1 to 2005, Jews, who account for 0.3% of the world's population, won 20% of the Nobel Prize, with amazing achievements. The study found that the love of learning is an important reason for the success of Jews. At present, among our cadres, there is a phenomenon of "following your feelings instead of reading books and newspapers", "reading a book, reading a newspaper, reading a topic, reading the main idea of the document, and then locking it in a drawer". How can such a cadre expect him to have execution? Only with profound knowledge can we draw inferences from others and accumulate wealth with ease. My mind is full of poems and books. We should constantly improve our quality and execution through study.
Executive power should be deepened by thinking. As the old saying goes, "learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous." The strength of a ship lies in sails and paddles, and the strength of a man lies in thinking. Thinking determines the way out. Without thinking ability, there is no ability to act. Be good at thinking, plan ahead, think ahead, and take the initiative in work. We should think about a specific job from three aspects. First, thinking from a global perspective will make you stand tall, look far and think deeply. Second, from the perspective of responsibilities, it will make you grasp the work more comprehensively and thoughtfully. Third, thinking from the whole process of a thing will make you do what you are doing more orderly and orderly.
(3) Strengthen responsibilities and improve execution.
A strong sense of responsibility and dedication to work is the internal driving force to improve execution. Bill Gates once said, "People can be great, but they can't be irresponsible." Your attitude towards work determines your attitude towards life, your performance at work determines your performance in life, and your achievements at work determine your achievements in life. You must have a strong sense of responsibility in order to complete the tasks assigned by your superiors. The "Tam Spirit" in the famous story "Writing to Garcia" inspires us that we should never forget our responsibilities and never excuse ourselves with any excuse. Perfect execution requires no excuses. As a leading cadre, we should follow our responsibilities and follow our hearts. If we have a job, we should be responsible and conscientious, and strive to adjust our work standards to the best, our mental state to the best, our work energy to the maximum, pursue Excellence, do our best and do better and better.
(D) improve the execution of solving difficult problems.
No career will be smooth sailing. Only by overcoming difficulties and promoting development in difficulties can we show our ability and level. It is often said that "difficulties are the spring for bullying the weak and fearing the hard". As long as we face difficulties and make continuous progress, there will always be good solutions to the problems. "Attitude is everything" makes sense. Whether it is implemented or not is first of all an attitude problem. What should I do if I encounter difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process? There is no other way, only two: one is to be hard on yourself. Second, implementation should be stricter. At present, it is a period of accelerated social development and prominent contradictions. All kinds of contradictions are complicated and intertwined, so it is very difficult to solve them. If you are in trouble, retreat. If you touch it, you have nowhere to go. In this case, we should always maintain high morale, and the more frustrated we are, the more difficult it will be. As a leading cadre, you should devote all your loyalty and enthusiasm, do your duty and do your best to start a business.
(5) Improve the execution of standardization process.
Process refers to one or a series of continuous and regular actions that occur or are executed in a certain way, leading to the realization of specific results. Process is a rule, a system and a procedure. Standardizing process is the key to improve execution. One of the main reasons for low execution is low execution efficiency and waste of resources. In order to completely eliminate inefficiency, we must formulate operational procedures that match the actual work, standardize the way of doing things, and optimize procedures. From the perspective of execution, it means "let the process speak, and the process becomes the only way to turn theory into practice". Process orientation is conducive to improving execution. Every work that every cadre is engaged in should have a clear, standardized and scientific process, so that every cadre has a "road map" for implementation in his mind. As Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Haier Group, said, "Management is to wipe the table". Wipe where?
(six) improve the execution in the supervision and assessment.
The ancients said that "the arrow is not far away, and people are not excited." Shouting slogans is not helpful to improve execution. It is necessary to use the results of performance appraisal to form an incentive mechanism that rewards diligence and punishes laziness. For cadres with practical ability, we should reuse them politically and encourage them spiritually, and constantly stimulate the initiative and enthusiasm of cadres to improve their execution, thus forming a strong driving force. It is also necessary to establish a normal supervision mechanism. Supervision and inspection is an important means to ensure the implementation of decisions. It is necessary to closely focus on the decision-making at higher levels and the central work, and implement full supervision of key issues, immediate supervision of urgent matters, regular supervision of daily matters, multi-pronged and three-dimensional constraints to ensure the smooth implementation of government orders and tasks.
Leading cadres are concrete organizers, practitioners and promoters to promote the construction of a harmonious socialist society and realize the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Their implementation directly affects the smooth progress of various constructions and the smooth completion of various tasks, and directly affects the image of governments at all levels and the ruling foundation of the party. Only by firmly grasping the concept of cadres' executive power and taking effective measures to promote the construction of cadres' executive power can we complete the great project of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics with good quality and quantity.
