Reflecting on the Insufficient Gap in Expectations at the Grassroots Level

2026-02-09   

Continuously addressing the urgent difficulties and concerns of the military, and reflecting on the shortcomings in comparison to the expectations of the grassroots. Recently, a certain unit focused on continuously deepening political training, requiring party members and leading cadres to follow the mass line of the Party in the new era, examine and reflect on their own gaps in comparison to the expectations of the grassroots, and improve work quality and efficiency. This approach of firmly establishing the concept of the masses and taking the lead in establishing trust is worth learning from. Grassroots is the foundation of all the work and combat effectiveness of the army. Is the quality and efficiency of the work of leading cadres high? Is the service guidance good? Is the work style genuine or not? Grassroots officers and soldiers have the most say. In a sense, there are opinions, voices, and expectations at the grassroots level, indicating that there are still shortcomings in the work of leading cadres and areas where service guarantees are not in place. However, in reality, some cadres turn a blind eye to the problems repeatedly reflected at the grassroots level; Some only grasp without responding and stop at collecting information; Some even blindly believe that the demands put forward by the grassroots are unreasonable without careful consideration. Such actions, over time, will inevitably damage the credibility of leading cadres and affect the development of unit construction. Starting from the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan, the tasks at the grassroots level are heavy, and the work standards are high. Grassroots officers and soldiers also have more realistic expectations for leading cadres in terms of work guidance, problem-solving, and assistance in construction. All of these require leaders and cadres to optimize their work methods, conduct investigations and research, and use the mirror of grassroots expectations to reflect on the gaps and shortcomings. They should promptly clarify their work ideas and improve their work methods, so as to better unite and unite officers and soldiers, and promote the upward development of grassroots construction. Reflect on fundamental attitudes with grassroots expectations. Attitude determines action. Comrade Mao Zedong once said, "Many people think that the relationship between officers and soldiers, as well as between military and civilians, is due to incorrect methods. I always tell them that it is a fundamental attitude (or fundamental purpose) issue, which is to respect soldiers and the people." Similarly, if grassroots expectations do not receive a response and officers and soldiers have opinions, leading cadres should also pay attention to finding reasons from the fundamental attitude. This requires leading cadres to lower their bodies, put down their airs, work with emotions and warmth, always sit on the same bench as grassroots officers and soldiers to think about problems, think more about grassroots wishes and expectations, and actual demands of officers and soldiers, rather than whether they can make a name for themselves, receive attention, and be praised. Reflect on work style with grassroots expectations. Through in-depth research at the grassroots level, it has been found that many of the work aimed at the grassroots level initially had good ideas and comprehensive designs, but often compromised on the specific implementation level. Either they had to go around the office and couldn't leave the office, or they encountered obstacles halfway and couldn't get through the "last mile" of implementation. The delayed implementation of the tasks expected by the military is due to various reasons, but ultimately it is caused by the deep-rooted problems of formalism and bureaucracy. Leaders and cadres should abandon formalism and bureaucratic style, carry forward the work style of seeking truth and pragmatism, and focus on doing practical things and seeking practical results. They should grasp the tasks that have been set and do them quickly, and carry out the tasks that have been deployed to the end. They cannot give up halfway or fail to implement them effectively. Reflecting on work planning with grassroots expectations. In most cases, the expectations at the grassroots level are based on the simple desire of officers and soldiers to build units and complete tasks well. However, some leading cadres neglect the wishes and expectations of the grassroots when studying and planning work. In practical work, leading cadres should reflect more on the problems and omissions in previous work planning, pay attention to collecting opinions from the troops through multiple channels, put more effort into areas where conflicts are more concentrated at the grassroots level, strengthen weak links in grassroots construction, and win trust and establish a good image through solid work performance.
