Question about the role of the secretary in the work of the secretary


Marx said in "The Outline of Feuerbach": "Does human thinking have objective truth, this is not a theoretical problem, but a practical question", "Whether the thinking of leaving time has reality Sexual controversy is a question of pure scholasticism. "The study of the role of the secretary's job should also adhere to the Marxist view of practice, whether the research results are truthful, and only practice is the only test. Comrade Yang Shangkun profoundly discussed some of the most fundamental problems in the work of the secretary from the combination of theory and practice. He pointed out in the "General Preface" written for the "The Theory and Practice of Chinese Secretaries" that the duty of the secretary is "as a staff member." "Assistant" emphasizes that "the secretarial work of our country has its own basic characteristics, which is the political consistency of the leadership and the secretary and the subordinates of the secretary in the working relationship of the leadership." This is a guiding ideology for the role of our research secretary.
A staff and leadership is the unity of opposites. The staff is for the leadership. The staff function is for the leadership. The leader is the decision maker, and the secretary of the staff is the assistant. The secretarial staff's subordination of the leader's working relationship is historically formed in practice. Although the researchers of the history of the development of secretaries in China have different academic views, they all believe that there are leaders and managers who have secretarial staff and staff officers who serve them. The latter is subordinate to the former in the working relationship. Leadership services, with leadership as the center, leadership work as the scope of service, and implementation of leadership work as the areas of their own work.
In modern society, as analyzed by the leadership science, one of the basic functions of leadership is scientific decision-making, and one of the principles of scientific decision-making is group decision-making. Group decision-making refers to the application of the principle of collective leadership in decision-making, and on the other hand refers to the auxiliary role of consulting staff. To implement scientific leadership, a scientific organization must be established. In addition to the leadership center, it must have an information and intelligence system, a consulting staff system, an implementation system, and a supervision system. The work of information intelligence system and consulting staff system is not only the staff of assistant decision-making, but also an important part of the secretary's work. Managerial science must also have the qualities of organizational management, which emphasizes the ability to seek and listen, and requires them to rely on consulting staff, relying on the subordinates, relying on the public, and listening to the opinions of all parties. Therefore, in modern society, leaders attach great importance to relying on their staff members who serve their leadership activities in order to implement their leadership, and the staff members always carry out their auxiliary activities around the leadership of this center.
Under social conditions, on the whole, leaders and secretaries are politically identical, which is completely different from all privately based societies. However, they have to act as the staff assistants for the leadership collectives and leaders. They are unanimous. They are subordinate to the leadership in their working relationships. In 1990 and 1994, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee held a symposium of the Secretary-General of the National Party Committee System. Leading comrades such as xx made important speeches. They all emphasized the role of the staff assistant in the secretarial work, and asserted that "the party committee must implement leadership, and there is no service in the office." At the symposium in 1994, it was further clarified that the basic task of the General Office was to use Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the party’s basic line as a guide, to be a good assistant to the staff, and to do a good job of “three services”. The party committee at this level serves the various departments and regions and serves the people. At the symposium in 1999, the central leading comrades emphasized that “the role of the staff assistant should be more active. The staff should focus on planning, the assistants should focus on helping, enhance the creativity of the work, pay attention to being in place and not offside, help without adding chaos. Really become the right hand of the leader." It can be seen that under socialist conditions, the leadership and the secretary are politically consistent, and the secretary has a dependency on the leadership and the working relationship. This is a sublation of the relationship between secretary and leadership in various social societies in history. Therefore, we must insist that the xx comrades said that "all levels of party committees must use the office, the office should also play a proactive role." "Party committees at all levels should care about the office, and the office should inherit and carry forward their own Fine tradition." The view that the secretarial work is to bury the specific chores and satisfy them is the old idea of ​​being shackled and defensive, and the negative thought of inaction, which will affect the function of the staff, weaken the functions of the secretary, and live up to the high hopes of the leading comrades. Emphasizing the role of the staff of the secretary's work does not mean canceling or diluting the subordinate and auxiliary nature. It does not mean that the secretary's work and the leadership work are erroneously erroneously emphasized, and the secretary's work is excessively and inappropriately emphasized in decision-making and execution. The role of. Some of the treatises require the secretarial staff to "liberate their minds", not to "be willing to be a supporting role", to fight for "joining decision-making" to "change the image", etc., which is harmful to the work and does not work. Some articles say that there is still no real secretary in China, because they can't solve problems and deal with matters on their behalf when their leaders are absent. This may be due to a lack of understanding of the actual situation. In fact, the situation of countries and regions is different, the role of the secretary, etc., it is not appropriate to use a certain model to determine.
The role of the second secretary in the work of the leader is historically formed in practice. How the secretarial work plays the role of the staff is also historically developed in practice, and the contents, key points, methods, styles, etc. of the staff function are played. They are also historically developed and changed in practice.
We do not intend to comprehensively trace back to the history of how the secretarial work of the secretaries can play a role. In the practice of secretarial work since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we explored the historical trajectory of its role as a staff member. The party and the government have always attached importance to the work of the secretary, and have always emphasized that the secretarial work serves the leadership work. It has always emphasized that the secretarial work should play a staff role. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the socialist revolution and socialist construction have made great achievements. This is inseparable from the role of the secretary in the work of the staff. In the various decision-making activities of the leadership center, the auxiliary work of the secretaries is indispensable. Because before the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the party’s work focus was not transferred to the socialist economic construction in a timely and smooth manner. At that time, the secretarial work did not break away from the influence of class struggle in the general role of the staff. This is completely understandable. At that time, the specific business of secretarial work was often focused on doing business, sending, receiving, transmitting, and organizing information, doing things with experience, and having more passive services. The fact that this kind of staff function is not fully utilized is determined by the historical conditions at that time.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the party shifted its focus to socialist economic construction. Economic construction has become the central task of the whole party and the country. All work must be subordinated to and served in this center. The secretarial work is to serve the leadership work. It is natural to assume that the economic construction service is its own center. It is necessary to focus on this center and play a staff role. The "four transformations", from shifting from writing to doing things to doing things, to doing things, to doing things, and making suggestions, from simply sending and receiving, transferring information to comprehensively processing information, from changing from experience to scientific management. The transition from passive service to active service is proposed to adapt to the development of the new situation and has been widely implemented. With the continuous deepening of reforms, the continuous expansion of openness, and the adaptation to the requirements of establishing a socialist market economic system, the role of the staff of the secretarial work will become more prominent. This is the further realization and deepening of the "four transformations" under the new conditions, and is the further enrichment and development of the "three services" under the new conditions.
At present, we are at an important historical moment at the turn of the century. The secretarial work must adapt to the new situation and provide solid and effective services for the leaders. The staff function of the secretary's work should be fully exerted around the basic functions of the leadership. The process of leadership is the process of making decisions and implementing decisions. In the areas of discovering problems, determining goals, analyzing contradictions, formulating plans, comprehensive evaluation, program selection, project implementation, organizational strength, implementation of responsibilities, supervision and inspection, information feedback, and tracking decisions, the secretarial work must be directed at reform and opening up. New situations, new features, reviewing the situation, trying to make suggestions for the leadership, or throwing bricks to attract jade, or picking up the gaps, or inferior.
The staff function of the secretary's work should be fully reflected in his own business. In the aspects of running a document, organizing a meeting, information, research, coordination, supervision, letters and visits, reception, etc., they must be dissatisfied with, do not stop at doing specific affairs, and must work creatively, actively submit opinions, plans, or In some respects, the leaders are properly reminded that the secretarial department is functioning properly and is always in good condition to provide quality services for leadership.
The role of the secretary should be reflected and exerted through his own key points. The secretary has a lot of clues. Only by grasping the main contradiction, that is, the key links, can the role of the staff be better played. At present, the key points of the secretarial work are: first, to provide timely, accurate and comprehensive information for the leadership; second, to organize research and research around the party's central work; third, to do important drafting work according to the leadership intention; fourth, on major events Handle countermeasures. This is determined by the current new situation of deepening reform and opening up to the outside world, and it has universal significance. Party and government organs, public organizations, and various enterprises and institutions have different tasks and requirements for secretarial work. However, practice has proved that these aspects are the focus of secretarial work, which has increasingly become the consensus of the majority of secretarial staff. .
The better use of the role of the secretary’s staff should be based on the improvement of the clerk of the secretarial staff. Comrade Mao Zedong said: "All things are for people to do." Secretarial work is done by secretarial staff. In the face of new situations and new demands, secretarial personnel must improve their ethics in terms of their ideology, business and style, in order to be competent in their own work. The secretarial staff must be loyal and determined, stand up to the political test, be willing to sacrifice, endure hardships and temper, be honest and self-disciplined, resist all kinds of temptations, and be competent in business and shoulder the heavy responsibility of service. A large secretarial team with correct direction, emancipated mind, high efficiency and pragmatism, and diligence and integrity is the basic force to ensure that the secretary's work further plays a good job as a staff member.
The better functioning of the secretary’s job counseling depends on the increasing modernization of office means. If the foregoing articles can be regarded as "software", then the modernization of office means can be regarded as "hardware." The extensive application of electronic computers in the work of secretaries has prolonged the human brain and the human hand, and will improve the quality of service for secretarial work. It can be predicted that the organic combination of the above-mentioned "software" and "hardware" will surely bring the role of the secretary's work staff to a new level.
