Speaking at a working session on assessing the country's development resources associated with the goal of double-digit economic growth, held on May 20, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized the requirement not to let national resources lie idle in procedures, in disputes, in fear of responsibility or in slow coordination between agencies.
Among the groups of issues raised by General Secretary and President To Lam, the psychology of hesitation, fear of mistakes, fear of responsibility in a part of law enforcement officials has caused the progress of handling work to be prolonged, which has been mentioned for many years.
And a noteworthy point in the speech is that not only raising the issue, General Secretary and President To Lam also set out solutions. In which, the General Secretary and President requested to build an "institutional package to unlock resources", showing that handling the psychology of fear of responsibility needs to start from perfecting mechanisms, policies and the way the apparatus operates.
Because if regulations are still overlapping, inconsistent or responsibilities are not clear, the psychology of hesitation in implementation will be difficult to avoid.
The General Secretary and President also emphasized the requirement to "resolutely abandon the mindset of "if you can't manage, then ban".
This message shows the requirement to innovate management thinking in a constructive direction, instead of just focusing on control or risk prevention. And because in an environment with too many procedures, licenses and opinion-gathering processes, work is easily prolonged, and responsibility is also easily distracted.
Along with that, the requirement to promote administrative procedure reform, shifting strongly from pre-inspection to controlled post-inspection is also considered an important solution. Only when procedures are streamlined, transparent procedures and responsibilities are more clearly defined, will work processing be more convenient and the situation of waiting through many intermediaries will be reduced.
Another noteworthy point is that the General Secretary and President requested to build a transparent, stable and highly predictive legal system. This is considered an important condition for both management agencies and implementers to have a clear basis in handling work.
Reality shows that in many cases, psychological hesitation not only stems from responsibility pressure, but also from unsynchronized regulations, different understandings or constantly changing mechanisms. When the legal boundaries are not really clear, handling work can easily become overly cautious.
To unlock development resources, along with perfecting institutions, it is important to create an environment to clearly implement responsibilities, clear authority and have a mechanism to protect those who do it correctly.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to create a breakthrough in development if the apparatus still operates with a mentality of prioritizing safety, while the implementers are still hesitant, not daring to do, not daring to decide, not daring to take responsibility, but it's still okay.
