Ability requirements for dealing with urgent and dangerous tasks

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that this epidemic is a big test of China’s governance system and ability, and we must sum up experience and learn lessons. It is necessary to improve the national emergency management system and improve the ability to deal with urgent and dangerous tasks in view of the shortcomings and deficiencies exposed in the epidemic response. It is a compulsory course for leading cadres at all levels, especially the "top leaders", to improve their ability to handle urgent and dangerous tasks, effectively deal with various major emergencies, ensure people’s life safety and health, and ensure sustained and healthy economic and social development.

　　Preparedness: Plan and deploy in advance.Preparation ability refers to the ability to prepare for possible major emergencies and urgent and dangerous tasks in advance in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources. The society we live in today often faces all kinds of risks, and all kinds of emergencies are frequent and concurrent, which brings shocks to the normal operation of society. "When you are prepared for danger in times of peace, you are prepared and prepared." The preparation ability reflects the leading cadres’ sense of hardship and active preventive thinking. Comrade Mao Zedong has said many times that no matter what work we do, we should think on the worst basis and plan from the worst possibility. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "We should focus our work on the emergence of greater risks and prepare countermeasures. In this way, even if there is a big risk, the sky will not fall. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Be good at using ‘ Bottom line thinking ’ The method is to prepare everything from the bad side and strive for the best result, so as to be prepared, not panic when things happen, and firmly grasp the initiative. " To prepare for emergencies, we must adhere to the bottom line thinking and maintain high-level pursuit. We should actively adapt to the needs of effectively responding to various major emergencies and successfully handling various urgent and dangerous tasks under modern and complex conditions, build a three-dimensional emergency reserve system integrating physical reserves, contract reserves and capacity reserves, improve the emergency requisition and cross-regional scheduling procedures for emergency resources, and prepare resources for peak demand in extreme cases.Be prepared, found, adjusted quickly and used well.

　　Insight: find problems in time.Insight ability is the cognitive ability to see the essence through the phenomenon, grasp the main contradiction in the complicated situation and grasp the development trend from the change. Insight ability is an important ability to deal with urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks. It requires leading cadres to have a very keen sense and a very accurate grasp of the internal and external environment and actual situation, to be able to see the details overlooked by others, to infer many related reasons and factors, and to discover various potential risks in economic and social development in time. The ancients said, "The wise hear in silence, while the wise see in shapelessness." Insight is actually a profound foresight of things. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: "Only when a large number of obvious things have not appeared, when the top of the mast has just been exposed, can we see that it is going to develop into a large number of universal things and master it, which is called leadership." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "It is necessary to strengthen the identification of urban and rural security risks, comprehensively carry out the general survey of urban risk points and hazards, and prevent the occurrence of problems such as unclear, unexpected and uncontrollable." To improve the ability to deal with urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks, we must first know the major risks that may occur in the region and department, and what urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks need to be dealt with, so as to "prescribe the right medicine".

　　Decision-making ability: quickly form a plan.Decision-making ability refers to the ability to make accurate judgments and decisions in time in the face of complicated situations. The process of decision is the process of defining tasks; Only when the task is clear can we know the direction of our efforts. "Wu Zi Zhi Bing" said: "The harm of using soldiers is the biggest hesitation; The disaster of the three armed forces was born of suspicion. " Faced with urgent and dangerous situations, time is tight, tasks are heavy, pressure is great, and resources are limited. Leading cadres are racing against time. Only by daring to make decisions, making correct decisions and making good decisions can we form a correct plan as soon as possible. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "The responsibility of leaders comes down to two things: giving ideas and using cadres." Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "My grasping method is to grasp the leader and the policy. Important policies and measures are also policy-oriented things, which I have to manage. " If the direction of decision-making is wrong and the thinking of solving the problem is wrong, the result will inevitably be the opposite, "draw water with a sieve." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We should be fearless, calm and responsible for emergencies, and we should come to the scene in person, command from the front and deal with them decisively at critical moments." To improve their determination, leading cadres should be both brave and resourceful. On the one hand, we must dare to take responsibility and shoulder heavy burdens, "we can see it at ordinary times, stand out at critical moments and get out at critical moments",Faced with complex situations and difficult problems, we are not hesitant, indecisive and vacillating, but are quick to cut the gordian knot, resolute and swift. On the other hand, we should be good at thinking, be diligent in thinking, "think twice before acting" and "decide before acting", and make a detailed comparative analysis of various alternatives, so as to determine the best one.

　　Organizational ability: orderly command and dispatch.Organizational ability refers to the ability to mobilize and lead relevant personnel to implement decision-making plans, achieve decision-making goals, complete work tasks, and turn strategic decisions and expected goals into realistic results. "One point is deployed and nine points are implemented." Only when the things decided by the decision and the work arranged are carried out in place can they produce practical results. In accordance with the requirements of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, we should "do more work to organize, publicize, educate and guide the masses, unify thoughts, unite people’s hearts, resolve contradictions, enhance feelings and stimulate motivation, and better strengthen confidence, gather people’s hearts and warm people’s hearts." As the organizer and commander of dealing with urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks, leading cadres can only improve the execution efficiency and ensure the effective and orderly handling of urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks by doing a good job in scientific division of labor and rational allocation of resources, building a team with good structure and reasonable division of labor, and unified leadership, unified command and unified action. Dealing with urgent and dangerous tasks is usually an action process of a large corps, which requires the participation of people from all levels, places, departments and aspects. At this time, it is necessary to form a "1+N" powerful organization and command structure — — The party and government leaders are always in charge, and the relevant personnel are integrated into several working groups. Everyone is responsible for the division of labor, with clear rights and responsibilities, and they are busy without chaos. Scientific and orderly organization can form a strong centripetal force, cohesion and combat effectiveness; If the organization is disorganized, fragmented and fragmented,It will lead to the floating of people’s hearts, and everyone will go their own way and even conflict with each other.

　　Guiding ability: effective external communication.Guiding ability refers to the ability to actively communicate with relevant social parties, actively guide public opinion, create a good social atmosphere and shape a good image. The process of external communication is actually the process of actively guiding public opinion and doing a good job in mass work. Both history and reality tell us that the power of public opinion must not be underestimated. The correct direction of public opinion is the blessing of the party and the people, and the wrong direction of public opinion is the disaster of the party and the people. To deal with urgent and dangerous tasks, it is even more necessary for leading cadres to give full play to their guiding power, unite and lead the masses, and form an atmosphere of Qi Xin’s concerted efforts and unity. The guidance of news and public opinion is the most important method of external communication. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the correct orientation of public opinion, "attach great importance to the construction and innovation of communication means, and improve the communication, guidance, influence and credibility of news public opinion". The continuous development of all media has led to profound changes in public opinion ecology, media pattern and communication mode, and news public opinion work is facing new challenges. In the all-media era, how to deal with the media, communicate with the public, speak out in time, hold the red zone, change the black zone, transform the gray zone, occupy the "main position" of public opinion, and win the initiative of public opinion guidance are the basic skills that leading cadres must master skillfully. Major disasters can easily become the focus of social attention and media reports. We should do a good job in publicity and education and public opinion guidance, respond to social concerns and public opinion concerns in a timely manner, coordinate online and offline, domestic and international, major and minor issues, and better strengthen confidence, warm people’s hearts and gather people’s hearts.Better safeguard the overall social stability.
