On the afternoon of June 23, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, General Secretary and President To Lam had a meeting with planning officials under the management of the Politburo.
Also attending were Politburo members: Standing Secretary of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu; Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Head of the Central Organization Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc; Politburo members, members of the Secretariat, members of the Party Central Committee, leaders of the Government, National Assembly, Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee, central ministries and branches.
Speaking at the meeting, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that strategic-level cadre planning is not simply personnel work, not only serving one congress, one term, one structure, but must be a stage of strategic management, preparing for the future leadership of the Party and the future development of the country.
Therefore, it is necessary to decisively overcome distorted perceptions, considering planning as keeping place, as queuing for turn and considering planning as ensuring certainty for a position. Planning must be open but not lower standards, must be dynamic but not arbitrary, must value structure but absolutely not take structure instead of standards.
Openness is not closing in one industry, one locality, one group of relationships, knowing how to find grassroots cadres, in difficult areas, new fields... Dynamic is having additions, having input, having output, having ups and downs. If cadres develop well, continue to train, assign tasks, and use them.
If officials stagnate, reduce their prestige, have no prospects or violate standards, they must be removed from the planning in an impartial, transparent, and regulated manner.
The General Secretary and President requested that the Central Organization Committee soon study and summarize in-depth the planning of strategic-level cadres of recent terms.
Strongly shift from managing officials mainly with administrative records to managing with living data. Each official in the plan needs to have dynamic records on qualities, product capacity, work, level of credibility, risk signs and development prospects.
Each official in the planning needs to have a specific training plan. Officials with prospects but lacking practical experience are assigned to difficult areas, difficult tasks. Officials who are strong in expertise but still limited in management are assigned tasks to organize implementation. Officials who show signs of stagnation, avoidance, and reluctance to collide must be promptly reminded, warned, and challenged further. If they no longer have sufficient qualities, capacity, prestige, and prospects, resolutely remove them from the planning.
General Secretary and President affirmed that the general spirit is not to let people who do not meet the standards slip through, not to miss people who are truly ethical and talented. Collectives and individuals introducing cadres must be responsible for politics and the quality of the source of introduction. If they hide shortcomings, inflate achievements, beautify dossiers, and have local favoritism, responsibility must be considered, especially the head.
The General Secretary and President emphasized that each planned cadre must build their own training program. When not yet appointed, do not be discouraged, do not compare, do not make unqualified statements, do not let personal thoughts affect the common good.
For comrades who have been planned but have not been introduced for candidacy, have not been elected or have not been appointed, it is necessary to calmly seek to continue striving; not being assigned does not mean failure, and even more does not deny the process of striving.
Doing a good plan today is preparing the Party's leadership capacity for tomorrow, which is ensuring a solid inheritance and continuous innovation of the sustainable development of the revolutionary cause.
