Great success All failures are due to the staff
. Reporter: During the life of President Ho Chi Minh, he always affirmed the particularly important position and role of cadres and cadres’ work. This is how it is expressed which, sir?
+ GS-TS Circuit Quang Thang: That is shown very early and very clearly in the book The Way of Destiny and especially the work Modify the way of working (Written in October 1947). He pointed out: “The cadre is the root of all work”, “all success or failure is due to good or bad cadres”. He emphasized the most important issue in building the new regime’s political system – that of the ruling Party. One of the things that shows the Party’s power is to firmly grasp the issue of cadres.
. But staff must also have appropriate requirements and standards?
+ The most general requirement and standard for a cadre according to Ho Chi Minh’s thought is the perfect pair of virtues and talents. President Ho Chi Minh analyzed the dialectical relationship between virtue and talent: If you have talent without virtue, you will ruin your job; If you have virtue but don’t have talent, you’re like a buddhist man sitting there and not helping life. He affirmed that the Vietnamese revolution would definitely succeed if the Party was clean and strong, the people united, and especially if there were good cadres.
. In addition to the things he just mentioned, President Ho Chi Minh also repeatedly upheld the example of cadres in the ministry machine?
The process of cadre work in general, including those at strategic level, of Ho Chi Minh is very different from today. But the most interesting thing is that the absolute majority give the correct answer.
GS-TS OPTICAL CIRCUIT
+ Yes, according to President Ho Chi Minh’s point of view, officials at all levels and branches, first of all those in the executive and judicial branches, must be exemplary in observing the law. Uncle wrote a letter to the judicial officer: “You are the people in charge of law enforcement. Of course, you need to uphold the example of “serving the public, the methods, the righteousness and the impartiality” for the people to follow.
Uncle Ho is a shining example of living and working according to the law, being self-disciplined and exemplary in obeying the law. This has become the lifestyle of President Ho Chi Minh, not a bit forced. He noted how to avoid the current four manifestations of many officials in speaking – doing.
. Can you recap those four expressions?
+ These are: Talk a lot but do little, talk well but do bad, talk but don’t do, say one thing but do another. Those are the diseases that President Ho Chi Minh hates very much, the most hate is the blasphemy, the empty, those who abuse power. He pointed out: “The people hate the presidents and the commissioners because of their arrogance, confidence, and authority. These men do not understand the duties and policies …, so when they hold a little power in their hands, they often abuse it.” Therefore, it is necessary to fight the “invasion enemy” with the trio: embezzlement, waste, and bureaucracy. Those who “take public property for private use, forget integrity and morality”.
. How to control officers, sir?
+ President Ho Chi Minh emphasized the need to mobilize socio-political organizations and people to regularly inspect, control and supervise cadres. Always pay attention to fostering cadres, preventing and combating the negatives that may arise after being promoted or appointed.
Strictly disciplined in accordance with the Party’s charter and the State’s laws against corrupt and corrupt cadres in order to clean up the political system, while educating the general public as well as deterring and preventing corrupt cadres. not violated. All cadres, not a single cadre, including senior officials, must be placed within the control, control and supervision of organizations in the political system and the people.

Just scared rolling set don’t know how to correct
. But if the officer what if you do it wrong??
For cadres who have made mistakes, President Ho Chi Minh said: “We are not afraid of mistakes and shortcomings, we are just afraid of not trying to correct mistakes and shortcomings. And more afraid of leaders who do not know how to find the right way to help officials correct mistakes and shortcomings.”
. We have cadres, but we still have to have a mechanism to use appropriate cadres. How do you think about this, sir?
According to President Ho Chi Minh, cadre work is important and should be carried out carefully, effectively, transparently and democratically, meeting the requirements of each period. Ho Chi Minh’s thought on cadre work has eight points. In it, he said: “We must always use affection to help and lead officials. Help them correct their mistakes. Praise them when they do a good job.” At the same time, they must clearly state their advantages and successes. Doing so is not to make them arrogant, but to make them more enthusiastic, more exerted. They must cultivate their will to go to the place where “defeat is not discouraged, victory is not arrogant”. When criticizing them, we should not be harsh. When we praise them, we must let them understand that: “Each person’s capacity is limited, even if you succeed, don’t be arrogant. Arrogance is the first step to failure.”
. Thank you Sir.
