既问计于兵,也问绩于兵 ■王永文 习主席强调,业绩好不好,要看群众实际感受,由群众来评判。这深刻提醒我们,干部业绩在实践,干部声名在兵中。军队开展树立和践行正确政绩观学习教育以来,某部坚持既问计于兵,也问绩于兵,把政绩好坏交由官兵评判,为党员干部创造政绩立起检验标尺。 基层是部队全部工作和战斗力的基础,树立和践行正确政绩观的实践落点必须聚焦基层、直达官兵。党员干部创造政绩的成效怎么样,官兵感受最直接;政绩实不实,官兵体会最深刻。现实中,很多党员干部扎根基层、心系官兵,自觉投身新时代强军事业,以实实在在的业绩赢得官兵心、获得好口碑。相反,少数党员干部热衷搞华而不实的“政绩工程”“形象工程”,导致基层忙乱、疲于应付,其症结就在于脱离基层、脱离官兵。 “政之所兴,在顺民心;政之所废,在逆民心。”军队党员干部只有善于倾听官兵呼声、吸纳官兵意见,把基层满意度作为衡量工作得失的重要参照,把官兵获得感作为评判工作质效的重要依据,坚决摒弃和纠治急功近利、作风虚浮等不良倾向,才能感召部队、带动官兵,创造经得起实践、官兵和历史检验的实绩。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA political commentary published under the 'Bayi Sharp Commentary' banner calls on Party member cadres to solicit feedback from rank-and-file officers and soldiers as the primary metric for evaluating political achievements, framing grassroots satisfaction as a corrective against superficial 'achievement projects' and 'image projects.' The piece is part of the PLA's ongoing study-and-education campaign on cultivating a 'correct view of political achievement' (正确政绩观), a Xi-directed initiative aimed at redirecting cadre incentives away from performative metrics toward measurable unit readiness and morale. The commentary signals continued institutional concern that careerism and formalism among mid-level officers remain a drag on grassroots combat effectiveness, a persistent theme in PLA political work that has intensified under Xi's broader military discipline campaign.
