"Now I sit around talking about merging, distracting my thoughts. The spirit of the Central Government directs us to do it, not to be distracted" - Chairman of the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee Le Van Dung said so to the leaders of departments and branches at the regular meeting on March 11.
There is a situation that is quite common in many localities when faced with information about merging provinces, districts and cities, which is that many cadres and civil servants are worried, distracted, and affect their working mood.
The anxiety and insecurity of civil servants is also common sense and understandability.
However, life still has to continue, the administrative apparatus still has to run, even "running" at full capacity to serve the needs of the people.
The government and localities all set specific growth targets - such as Quang Nam at 10%, so the apparatus cannot stand still for a minute.
Mr. Le Van Dung said a very good idea is that in order to achieve the 10% growth target, in addition to public investment, there must be additional solutions to renew old motivation, remove obstacles and difficulties for businesses, and large projects must be implemented on time.
To do so, the apparatus must operate at full capacity, even more strongly and drastically to complete the assigned tasks.
Key tasks, which play a role as a "backbone" for economic and social development such as removing large projects behind schedule, promoting the disbursement of public investment capital, must still take place regularly and effectively.
Essential fields such as healthcare, education, and culture still require cadres and civil servants to continue working normally, if not to say that it is an effort more than before to serve the increasing needs of people, businesses, and investors.
At times like these, it is necessary for cadres and civil servants - those who receive salaries in taxes from the people - to promote a sense of responsibility, proactiveness and determination in their work.
This is also the time for local leaders and heads of organizations to clearly demonstrate their leading role, by doing a good job of ideological work, propaganda, and mobilization to stabilize the psychology of cadres and civil servants under their management.
being calm, not distracted, and focusing on work at this time is also one of the important criteria and an opportunity to re-evaluate the team of cadres and civil servants to select those who are truly capable and have a high sense of responsibility to retain the apparatus.
