“Cadres are the root of all work”. President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings are always a profound reminder for all levels and sectors. Dr. Nguyen Si Dung - former Deputy Head of the National Assembly Office, Member of the Policy Advisory Council, wrote an article on the Party’s personnel work in connection with the time when Nghe An province is putting the Resolution of the 20th Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, into practice.
WhynHappiness is the key issue of the Party.?
First of all, becauseThe Party leads by people, through people:
The right policy is a necessary condition, but the sufficient condition for the policy to come into life is the cadre team. The same policy, if placed in the hands of people with heart - vision - and capacity, the output is development; if placed in the hands of people lacking integrity - weak capacity, the output is stagnation, even distortion. In other words, the quality of cadres is an amplifier that strengthens (or weakens) the political signal.
Second, because nthe determination of legitimacy through social trust:
At the micro level, each cadre is the "facade" of the Party; at the macro level, the entire team creates social capital - a measure of legitimacy. When cadres are close to the people, do the right thing - do it quickly - do it transparently, trust is accumulated; when there is bureaucracy and corruption, trust is eroded.
The Party may announce many grand goals, but social consensus – the “operating license” of reform – only forms when people believe in the qualities and results of its cadres.
Third, because nPersonnel determine the speed and quality of execution:
In development,speedis an advantage,qualityare sustainable. Both depend on implementation capacity: work organization, inter-sectoral coordination, risk management, conflict resolution. In places where the right people are chosen - assigned the right jobs - measured the right results, the time to process procedures is greatly reduced, social transaction costs are lowered, capital flows and opportunities move quickly. Therefore, the bottleneck or boost of a locality is mostly a matter of human resources, not just a matter of mechanisms.
Fourth, because nis the “processor” of the institutional operating system:
If the institution is the national operating system, the law is the code, then the cadres are the operating brain. No matter how correct the code is, if the brain is weak, the whole body will be slow, react poorly or make mistakes. On the contrary, a strong brain can optimize all activities, helping the country operate flexibly and effectively. Therefore, institutional innovation, if it wants to be effective in life, must simultaneously upgrade the operating brain.
Fifth, because nIntegrity is the fence that blocks leakage:
Every control design has loopholes; the decisive factor lies in the moral character and inner discipline of the person in power. Honest officials create high costs of corruption and low benefits for wrongdoing; self-serving officials do the opposite, turning a good mechanism into a “profit-making mechanism”. Therefore, building a team that is “both red and professional” is not only a moral slogan, but also the most effective anti-loss mechanism.
Friday, because nAdaptability and learning capabilities - advantages in the digital age:
The changing context requires the ability to learn quickly, act quickly, and fix quickly. Organizations cannot learn if people cannot learn. Cadres with a data mindset, who know how to use technology, know how to conduct controlled experiments (“safe harbors”), and know how to dialogue instead of giving orders, will transform the apparatus from “reactive administration” to proactive management. This is the Party’s most sustainable competitive advantage in the digital age.
Saturday, because nensure continuity - inheritance of leadership power:
Every term is limited, but the leadership mission is continuous. If we do not proactively identify, nurture, and assign real work to the next generation (especially at the grassroots level), a capacity gap will appear right where policy touches life.
On the contrary, when the source of cadres is well nurtured, the Party has a stable "leadership flow", avoiding disruptions and reducing the risk of "oil spills" from individual mistakes.
Eighth, vIn Nghe An, the advantage and challenge lie in the cadres.:
The area is large, the economic structure is diverse from coastal industry - services to agriculture - forestry - border, requiring high vertical and horizontal coordination. The same policy of attracting investment or reducing administrative procedures, where there are leading officials will create a "push" for the Southeast Economic Zone, Cua Lo, VSIP, WHA.
Any place lacking qualified people will have bottlenecks in site clearance, environment, and fire prevention. The advantages or disadvantages of Nghe An therefore vary greatly depending on the quality of human resources.
Personnel is the key to the Party because it determines three core levels: Legitimacy (people's trust); Effectiveness (ability to turn policies into results); Adaptability (capacity to continuously learn and innovate).
Dr. Nguyen Si Dung
When the three core layers mentioned above are strong, all strategic breakthroughs - infrastructure, institutions, digital transformation, human resources - have a "fulcrum" to explode. Therefore, putting human resources at the center is not to prioritize a single area of work, but to ensure that the entire leadership apparatus of the Party operates in the right direction, at the right speed, and according to the right standards - for the people, for the Fatherland, for a Nghe An to grow strongly.
Book a jobnWelcome to the heart of innovation
To turn the Congress Resolution into a living reality, we must first start with people. There can be no real innovation without people who dare to innovate, and there can be no breakthrough development without people who know how to lead change.
Therefore, putting human resources at the center of innovation means putting the future of the homeland and country into the hands of worthy people.
First, choose people with heart and vision:
“Heart” to not succumb to temptation. “Vision” to not be limited within the term of office. A dedicated official does not work for himself, but for the people, for the Party, and for the future of the province. A visionary person looks far ahead, thinks big, and knows how to lay the foundation today for future values.
Selecting cadres cannot be based solely on their records or age; it must be based on their real actions, on what they have done for the people and their homeland. We must choose people with strong political will, modern management thinking, and the ability to coordinate, mobilize, and create trust.
Such people are the province's most valuable "leadership capital", a catalyst for innovation.
Second, create an environment for cadres to dare to think, dare to do, and dare to take responsibility:
In reality, many people do not lack the capacity, but the mechanism to dare to do it. Many initiatives die halfway not because they are wrong, but because they are not protected. If we do not change our perspective, no one will dare to step forward.
Nghe An needs to build a public service environment that encourages creativity and learning from experience, where those who do the right thing are protected, those who innovate are trusted, and those who make mistakes in good faith are pointed out for mutual progress. We must resolutely eliminate the mindset of “getting it done”, “standing still”, “being content to not make mistakes”.
Instead, we need to create a culture of responsibility, where every decision has someone responsible, and every success is spread to encourage the collective. Only then will the innovative spirit of the Congress Resolution spread to every level, every industry, and every person.
Third, take care of training the young generation of cadres, especially at the grassroots level:
If Nghe An wants to develop sustainably, it is necessary to take care of cultivating “deep roots” at the commune and ward levels - where policies touch people’s lives. Young cadres today are the future of the provincial Party Committee tomorrow. They need to be trained in practice, assigned real work, given real challenges and evaluated by real results. It is necessary to create conditions for them to learn new technology, practice modern management thinking, but at the same time maintain their bravery. politics, revolutionary ideals and behavioral culture of Nghe An - kind, intelligent and resilient.
The young generation of cadres are not only successors, but also instigators of innovation. They are proof that Nghe An’s steadfast revolutionary tradition is being transformed into creative energy, service energy and development energy.
Putting human resources at the center of innovation means putting people at the center of development. When Nghe An has a team of cadres with enough heart, enough capacity, enough responsibility and enough aspiration, no goal is impossible to achieve. Because they themselves - the cadres - will be the living flame that lights up the aspirations of the Congress Resolution, turning each promise to the people into works, policies and specific achievements.
And it is they, with their intelligence and loyalty to the Party, who will continue to write the glorious history of Uncle Ho's homeland - a land of talented people, where the aspiration to rise up has become the common will of the entire community.
Human resources - the root of all innovation, the force of all development
The 20th Congress of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, term 2025 - 2030, has opened up a great vision, aroused strong aspirations, and identified strategic breakthroughs. But that aspiration can only come true if each cadre and each Party organization truly innovates, truly acts, and truly works for the people.
From Ho Chi Minh's ideology to today's reality, the lesson remains valuable:"Success or failure depends on good or bad staff".Personnel is the key issue of the Party - because it is the root of all innovation, the force of all development, and the guarantee of the people's trust.
When Nghe An chooses the right people, creates a team of dedicated, creative, honest and daring cadres, the goal of becoming a fairly developed province by 2030 will no longer be a distant aspiration, but a possible reality. touch. And then, this land of talented people will continue to be worthy of being Uncle Ho's homeland - a place where the intelligence, will and aspirations of the entire nation converge.
