Don't worry, always look for "the most assured person"
Special recommendation
These two unsolicited contributions are all about the troubles of the squad leaders at the grassroots level.
One was overwhelmed by the reputation of "the most reassuring", and the other was forced to refuse work by the phenomenon of "beating fast cattle", which makes people feel both distressed and sigh.
Here, I would like to say a few words to the head of the grass-roots battalion company: If a similar situation occurs around you, please don’t rush to blame these squad leaders for their low ideological realm and lack of consciousness, but to find the reasons for themselves first.
As long as we consider things more thoughtfully, arrange work more carefully, and pay attention to subordinates more thoughtfully, many problems can be avoided.
At the end of last year, Ma Li was rated as an excellent soldier of the "Four Possess" due to his excellent performance, but the process still has some twists and turns.
For a long time, Ma Li, who served as a squadron ordnance officer and clerk, is down-to-earth and has outstanding work ability. His comrades trust him very much. He can complete everything with quality and quantity. He is the "most assured person" in everyone's eyes. .
"Trojan horse three practice re-examination failed!" The year-end assessment of the previous year, Ma Li failed in a single subject, and was rated as "failed" in the personal military sports assessment.
After seeing the results, he smiled bitterly and walked back to the squadron duty room without saying a word.
Originally, he was full of expectations for participating in the selection of "Four Possess" outstanding soldiers, but this result directly disqualified him from participating in the evaluation.
As soon as the assessment was over, I immediately approached Ma Li for a heart-to-heart talk. He, who normally has no complaints, poured bitter water on me for the first time.
He said that his work pressure is increasing, and in addition to normal work every day, he has to deal with all kinds of "help"——
"Pony, help me make a lecture PPT!"
"Pony, the squad leader asked me to ask you for two tactical lesson plans."
"Pony, my computer skills are not good, can you help me make a form?"
"Xiao Ma, we will check the registration statistics tomorrow, let's sort it out together!"
……
"You can't delay business affairs, and your comrades-in-arms' affairs can't be left behind. Sometimes one thing is not completed, and the next one is picked up, and the duty room can't leave anyone, so I don't have time to train!" Ma Li's words were full of helpless.
Although the foundation is good, after the promulgation and implementation of the new military training program, the standards and requirements of some courses have changed a lot. He has not had time to study, and even some courses have never been practiced once.
This touched me a lot.
It is true that everyone is used to looking for the "most assured person" when something happens, but ignores his endurance, so that this "most assured person" is overwhelmed.
And his comrade-in-arms said "the able ones work harder", which made him suffer even more.
After discussing with the instructor, I decided to reduce the burden on the ponies: on the one hand, we adopted a shift system for ordnance officers and clerks to ensure that they have enough time to participate in the training; Don't pass your work on to others.
After being freed from busy and trivial matters, Ma Li appeared more on the training ground, and his results quickly caught up.
In the year-end assessment last year, he achieved "excellent". When participating in the evaluation of the "four have" outstanding soldiers, he was unanimously recognized by the officers and soldiers of the squadron, and finally won the long-awaited honor.
Not only that, the duty rotation system has also been extended by the squadron to positions such as hygienists and "six minor workers". By cultivating more talents with the old and the new, it also ensures the training time of each officer and the completion of the work tasks.
This approach not only makes the squadron work more smoothly, but also learns from other units.
This incident made me realize that it is necessary to scientifically cultivate and use the backbone of the squad leaders, and reasonably pressurize and reduce their burdens, so that they cannot be "tired and worried".

Why does the squad leader always say "I'm busy"
■Chen Yan and Zhang Xiaohe
Due to the absence of the company commander on vacation, the major affairs of a marine brigade's chemical defense company fell on the shoulders of instructor Tao Jiawei.
He thought that as long as the time node and standard requirements were clear, the task would be assigned to the squad leader's backbone, but the reality was not the case.
On this day, the camp was assigned an urgent task. Tao Jiawei found Fang Haijun, an experienced squad leader of the third shift, to take charge. Unexpectedly, Fang Haijun refused on the grounds that he was busy with equipment renovation.
"It's been a week since the equipment refurbishment work, and I haven't seen Fang Haijun reporting the situation. Is he really that busy?" Tao Jiawei also recalled that he had arranged a teaching method demonstration task before, and Fang Haijun also shied away on the grounds of "I'm busy".
The two things were added together, and doubts arose, so Tao Jiawei made a surprise inspection on the third shift.
As a result, Tao Jiawei found that except for one or two people who were cleaning the car, the others were sitting and chatting, and Fang Haijun was among them.
Tao Jiawei was instantly enraged, and the other side's navy made a serious criticism: "Even though he was hiding here, he told me that he was 'very busy'. Is this what a squad leader should do?"
"Instructor, I know it's wrong to do this, but I was forced to help it..." Fang Haijun quickly explained.
Things have to start with the year-end assessment last year.
Before the assessment, the superior asked to count the equipment and equipment, and the company assigned the task to the three classes with the most equipment.
In order not to affect the preparations assessment, Fang Haijun led the whole class to work overtime and completed the task ahead of schedule.
However, what he didn't expect was that the company immediately arranged a temporary job, euphemistically called "more work for those who are able".
The preparation time for the third class was crowded out, and the soldiers' grades were not satisfactory.
"This kind of 'whipping a fast cow' hurts me a lot, so I think I can gain a lot of wisdom..." Fang Haijun's remarks made Tao Jiawei's "fire" extinguish most of the time at once. The Navy's "I'm busy" is just an excuse to be lazy.
But is this an example?
In order to fully grasp the situation, Tao Jiawei organized a symposium with the squad leader backbone.
At the meeting, the content reflected by each class was similar to that of the third class.
He Zhiwei, the squad leader of the first class, also mentioned another situation. Sometimes there are temporary assignments on weekends. In order not to take up rest time, they have to use "I'm busy" as a "shield", and even make some young soldiers have "Since the If you work during the rest time, then you can rest during the work time” wrong thinking.
Listening to everyone's speeches, Tao Jiawei also gradually clarified the reasons for this phenomenon. Behind the squad leader's refusal to work, there was a problem with the company's work co-ordination, and there was little communication in advance, lack of supervision during the event, and no care after the event.
As soon as he discussed with the incumbent branch committee, he immediately made adjustments: on the one hand, strengthen communication and coordination, on the other hand, strengthen work coordination, rationally arrange work tasks, prevent officers and soldiers from arbitrarily occupying the rest time, and make good use of the praise and encouragement mechanism. Set aside time for summaries.
The new measures have brought a new atmosphere, the spirit of the squad leader is smooth, and the excuse of "I'm busy" is hard to find. Everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place, and the company building has a new look.
