Innovation in practical leadership methods of Party committees and grassroots organizations in Nghe An

Innovation for the common good

In the mountainous commune of Bong Khe (Con Cuong district), the policy of building traffic roads was directed by the Party Committee and the commune government in early 2024. The leaders and civil servants of the commune personally went down to the village to propagate, explain, and mobilize the people; directly remove difficulties and obstacles, direct the clearance and relocation of electric poles, water pipes, etc.

That motivates each cadre in the village management board, the youth union branches, and the Thanh Nam village association branches to be more active in propagating and mobilizing people to join hands. "If in the past, "planting branches, places" was difficult, we would give up, but now we persevere to do it.

From perseverance, directly talking to the people, and making them understand, the people of Thanh Nam village voluntarily donated land, broke down solid fences, and contributed money to buy gravel, hire machines, and workers to pour the road; on average, each household contributed 13-14 million VND and many households contributed 30-40 million VND.

Not only in Thanh Nam village, but also in Tan Lap, Lien Tan, Tan Dan villages, etc., people were very active; some households contributed 60 - 70 million VND in cash. Thanks to that, in just over 5 months of drastic implementation, Bong Khe commune has widened and concreted 34 roads, from 2.5 - 3 m to 5 - 7 m (concrete road surface alone is 4 - 6 m); with a total length of more than 6 km.

For a mountainous commune like Bong Khe, in just a short time, mobilizing people to contribute over 2 billion VND, donating nearly 7,800 m2 of land, demolishing more than 7,000 m of fence, and thousands of working days is not an easy task. Comrade Phan Trong Trung - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bong Khe commune, said: In addition to being close to the people to propagate, mobilize, and promote the exemplary role of cadres and party members, the head of the Party Committee and the commune government personally actively followed up with the district-level departments and branches in relocating electric poles and in providing and supporting cement in a timely manner.

In Bong Khe commune, the leadership method, the way of propaganda, and the mobilization to carry out political tasks have all been innovated with the spirit of the common interest and the development of the locality. For example, in granting land use right certificates to the people, the guiding ideology is not only to ensure the rights of the people but also to fulfill the political task of the locality in order to improve land management and increase revenue from granting land use right certificates for local development investment.

In addition to the responsibility of land officials, the commune leaders got involved, asked for guidance and direction from the district-level departments and branches to remove obstacles, including proposing that the district increase the number of land officials to the commune. Therefore, from a "hot" area, after nearly 2 years of concentration, up to now, Bong Khe commune has basically completed the issuance of land use right certificates to the people. From the good implementation of the issuance of certificates, the state budget has increased, in which the commune's budget source is more than 2 billion VND for investment in upgrading schools.

Currently, the Party Committee and the government of Bong Khe commune are also accompanying to support the implementation of the construction of the garment factory planned to be located in the locality. Comrade Phan Trong Trung - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bong Khe commune, added: Creating conditions for businesses to invest is not to do for businesses, but when the investment project comes into operation, it will promote the development of traffic infrastructure, change the face of rural mountainous areas, create jobs and income for local people. At the same time, develop services and trade in the locality.

For Nghi Lam commune (Nghi Loc district), the starting point is low compared to other localities in the district. Entering the 2020-2025 term, the team of key cadres at the commune level has been strengthened. The Standing Committee and the Party Executive Committee of Nghi Lam commune clearly identified the need to build a bloc of solidarity, focus on democracy in the Party Committee, associated with promoting the proactive, dynamic, creative and responsible role of each individual.

In leadership, it is necessary to focus on implementing the style and method of "Respecting the people, being close to the people, understanding the people, learning from the people and being responsible to the people". It is from this style and method that in the process of implementing the political tasks of the locality, especially the movement to build advanced new rural areas, each standing committee member, executive member and cadre and civil servant assigned to be in charge of the field and hamlet are all concerned, directly meeting with the people to propagate, grasp their aspirations and proactively find measures and solutions to solve according to their responsibilities or report to the Party Committee and the government to get involved.

Comrade Tran Van Binh - Secretary of Nghi Lam Commune Party Committee, affirmed: Thanks to changing the leadership methods and approaches, promoting democracy, and promoting the responsibility of each collective and individual, the spirit of dedication and responsibility of cadres and civil servants, especially the heads of agencies and organizations, has been promoted. From the dedication and responsibility of cadres and civil servants, the initial satisfaction and contentment of the people in the movement to build advanced new rural areas has been "unblocked", actively contributing resources to complete each criterion, Nghi Lam commune was recognized by the Provincial People's Committee as meeting advanced new rural standards in 2024. Particularly, cultural houses and cultural and sports institutions have 9/12 hamlets built and purchased new ones, with a total value of 1.1 - 1.3 billion VND/hamlet.

Also from dedication and responsibility to the people and the general movement of the locality; the team of cadres and civil servants are also dedicated and diligent in connecting with all levels and sectors to remove difficulties and obstacles in resolving difficulties and obstacles of the people related to investment in civil works, resolving policies and regimes, granting land use right certificates, etc.

Practical leadership

Practice has proven that wherever there is a good movement, there the leadership method and the way and capacity of the Party Committee to organize the implementation of the Party's policies and resolutions ensure creativity and innovation.

Thereby, ensuring smooth leadership and direction in implementing political tasks of the sector, locality and unit.
