“Adhere to leadership and take the lead, lead from above, set benchmarks and set examples at every level”, which is a distinctive feature of the party’s work style and clean government since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and is an important experience for the effectiveness of intra-party education. This time, the "Two Studies and One Action" study and education is carried out among all party members, but the role of the "key minority" of leading cadres is still very critical, which directly affects the development and effectiveness of the study and education.
Organizing and carrying out "two studies and one action" study and education is the main responsibility of party organizations at all levels and their leaders. "Leading cadres at the county level and above must set an example in study and education, closely connect with the actual leadership work, learn more and deeper, have stricter and higher requirements, and strive to improve their ideological and political literacy and theoretical level." General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions on carrying out "two studies and one action" study and education, and put forward clear requirements for leading cadres. The key to solidly carrying out the "Two Studies and One Action" study and education is to adhere to the leadership, lead from above and lead from below, apply real skills in "learning" and see real achievements in "doing".
How to learn more and deeper? To study the Party Constitution and Party Rules, leading cadres should be familiar with the content that all Party members should learn and master. At the same time, they should master the regulations and requirements closely related to the performance of their duties and improve the political literacy and policy level necessary for good leadership work. To study the series of speeches, we must work hard in a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth manner, insist on reading the original works, studying the original texts, and understanding the principles, and study with faith, emotion, mission, and questions. In particular, understanding the new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies of state governance contained in the series of speeches must be the top priority of learning, so as to guide and promote the development of various undertakings.
How to have stricter and higher requirements? Becoming a qualified Communist Party member is a requirement for all party members. Leading cadres must first do it, but it cannot stop at the understanding stage. To enhance political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness, and alignment awareness, the key is to let actions speak for themselves. Compared with the "four emphases and four haves" standards for qualified party members, which include "politics, belief, rules and discipline, morality, conduct, dedication, and achievement", leading cadres must first set an example and set a benchmark. Only by closely combining ideological reality and work practice, truly touching the mind and touching the soul, and solving the five aspects of "taking the lead in strengthening ideals and beliefs, taking the lead in strictly observing political disciplines and political rules, taking the lead in establishing and implementing new development concepts, taking the lead in overcoming difficulties and daring to take on responsibilities, and taking the lead in implementing the responsibility of comprehensively and strictly governing the party" can we ensure that we are practical and at the forefront.
"Teachers are to be effective, the superiors should follow the example, and the subordinates should follow the example." The masses look to party members, and party members look to cadres. If leading cadres set an example and set an example, everyone will follow and do the same. In learning and education, leading organs, leadership groups, and leading cadres at all levels must practice and set a good example, both leading and guiding others. They must first do what they ask others to do, and they must not do what they ask others not to do. Party members and leading cadres, regardless of their rank or position, must take the lead in participating in study discussions, taking the lead in talking about their experiences, giving party lectures, and making reports, taking the lead in participating in organizational life meetings and democratic appraisals, and taking the lead in making contributions based on their posts. In this way, by demonstrating and driving at all levels, with superiors leading subordinates and squad leaders leading teams, an overall effect of upward and downward effects and overall linkage can be formed, leading to the solid and effective development of the entire learning and education.
