The "dark side" rotates!
(Baonghean) - Resolution No. 11-NQ-TW on the rotation of leaders and managers was issued by the Politburo in 2002. In 2012, the Politburo continued to issue Conclusion No. 24-KL/TU on promoting the planning and rotation of leaders and managers until 2020 and the following years. After 12 years of implementing the Resolution of the Politburo, the training and fostering of leaders and managers at all levels has had breakthrough innovations.
From the central to local levels, the rotation of cadres has become a regular practice, creating conditions for training, fostering, and testing cadres, especially young and promising cadres, helping cadres mature faster, more comprehensively, and more firmly. Through the rotation of cadres, sectors and localities have gradually adjusted the arrangement of cadres more reasonably, increasing cadres for places with urgent needs.especially in rural, mountainous and difficult areas. Thanks to the rotation of cadres, the tendency of localism and self-containment in each locality and unit has been overcome; the complacency and stagnation of cadres lacking the sense of striving to improve have been eliminated.
However, in the rotation of cadres, there are still "negative aspects" that need to be overcome as Resolution 11 of the Politburo clearly stated: "Fight against localism and closed-mindedness in each sector, each locality, each unit, not wanting to accept people from other places; prevent and resolutely fight against unhealthy manifestations such as isolation, causing difficulties, reducing the prestige of those transferred, or taking advantage of the rotation of cadres to push honest, straightforward people, people with capacity but not suitable for them to other places". In fact, only in the early period, when the policy of rotating cadres was first implemented, did the above "negative aspects" appear frequently.
Local and closed-minded thinking often manifests itself in the form of thinking that superiors who send people back will lose the development opportunities of promising "local" cadres. The phenomenon of isolation and making it difficult for the transferred people does not occur openly, but there are still signs of a lack of wholehearted teamwork, not creating conditions for the newcomers to quickly approach the work. There are even cases where it is very difficult for people from other places to get along with local cadres. For agencies and units that lack internal unity, the phenomenon of taking advantage of cadre rotation to push people who are not suitable for them to other places is inevitable. Due to the influence of group interests and personal interests, there are cases where the rotation of cadres is not objective: people with close relationships are transferred to favorable places, while people who are not close are transferred to difficult places. There are cases where one person is transferred to make room for another person, not for the long-term development of the transferred person. Some cadres, after being transferred, have to take on positions that are contrary to their profession and strengths.
For the rotated cadres, most of them have good thoughts, are not afraid of hardships, are ready to accept tasks in any area, and strive to mature through practice. However, there are also cadres who have been rotated and tried to choose favorable areas, and are not assured of working long-term in the new place to practice, but consider the rotation only as an opportunity for promotion. After the rotation, some cadres show a lack of will to strive, are not attached to the local movement, do not dare to take responsibility for difficulties, and have the mentality of waiting for the end of the rotation period to be promoted or return.
Reality shows that the rotation of cadres must aim to bring cadres to the grassroots to be closer to the people and closely follow the practice to achieve positive results. Rotating cadres to meet the standards for Party committee membership or promotion will not have the effect of educating and training cadres; then the "dark side" of cadre rotation will be more easily exposed. In order for the rotation of cadres to achieve good results, Party committees at all levels must be truly objective and democratic, and absolutely not take advantage of cadre rotation to realize group or personal interests.
Party congresses at all levels are approaching, and many cadres will be rotated to prepare personnel for this term and the following terms. Party committees at all levels must properly implement Resolution 11 and Conclusion 24 of the Politburo so that the rotation of cadres can be most effective, thoroughly overcoming the undesirable "negative aspects".
