Recently, new platoon leaders have been gradually coming down. How to successfully transition from a military academy student to a qualified grassroots cadre at the beginning of the official career is a realistic issue facing the new platoon leader. Position does not equal ability, knowledge does not equal skill, and diploma does not equal level. A new platoon leader is excellent in a military academy, but it does not necessarily mean that they are competent for grassroots positions. Faced with changes in identity, position, and environment, some new platoon leaders may have theoretical knowledge but lack grassroots insight, work enthusiasm but lack practical methods, and inevitably encounter difficulties and setbacks. Often, they kick the stone with the "first foot" and turn their face red with a "fire". The title of Second Lieutenant, the leader of a row; The appearance of soldiers and the quality of officials. ”The position of platoon leader is a fundamental and important link in the growth path of cadres, as well as a ladder to success. Le Yanhui, a model soldier of Aijun Jingwu, said, "My grassroots experience has transformed me from a 'tender shoulder' to an 'iron shoulder', giving me the confidence to win battles in a down-to-earth manner." The practice of excellent military leaders fully proves that the grassroots is the best classroom for understanding the army and growing skills, a hot melting pot for tempering willpower and drawing strength, and a vast world for displaying talents, working hard and starting businesses. The new platoon leader must go deep into the grassroots and among the officers and soldiers, understand the characteristics of grassroots work, thoroughly understand the thoughts of officers and soldiers, and grasp the laws of grassroots construction. Only by building strong energy in the hot grassroots can personal development accumulate steadily and the military journey be stable and far-reaching. Be skilled and capable, set a good example. The profession of soldiers is to fight, and outstanding professional abilities are necessary to win over the masses. The new platoon leader needs to open up the situation and establish credibility, ultimately relying on strong military qualities. The new platoon leader must aim at what they don't understand, catch what they don't know, make up for their weaknesses, practice hard, and strive to strengthen their own qualities. Only by truly understanding warfare, being good at strategy, and being able to command, can they quickly complete the transformation from high education to high ability, and from theoretical strength to practical strength. Put down your posture and take the army as your teacher. Lieutenant platoon leader, rooted in the squad and serving at the grassroots level, is like building a high-rise building or laying a foundation. The stronger the base, the more stable the high-rise building. On the one hand, the new platoon leader should actively integrate with the officers and soldiers, get along well with them, so that they can think and work together. On the other hand, we should take the initiative to learn from officers and soldiers as teachers, be diligent in learning from the battalion commander and company commander about overall planning, learn from the old platoon leader about leading troops, and learn from the backbone of the squad leader about management. Through humbly seeking advice, we should weave a "united front" and build a "bridge of connection" with officers and soldiers. Adhere to principles, dare to grasp and manage. Leading the army is a compulsory course for new platoon leaders. Their words, actions, and every move not only reflect personal moral cultivation, but also directly affect the internal atmosphere of the collective. When the new platoon leader fulfills his management responsibilities, he promptly points out any problems, comments on them by name, and takes advantage of the hot spot to rectify them. He must take the common and unconventional negative phenomena seriously and not overlook any details. With excellent qualities and good work style, he tightly unites the soldiers together.
