讲真话·听真话·纳真话 ■谢飞跃 一句真话千钧重,半点虚言万事空。何为真话?就是符合客观事实的言辞,发自肺腑、不事雕琢的真实表达。对党员干部特别是领导干部而言,真话映照的是党性纯度、担当硬度、作风实度。领导干部敢不敢讲真话、愿不愿听真话、善不善接纳真话,绝非小事,而是关乎政治忠诚、强军胜战、长远发展的大事。习主席在全军高级干部培训班开班式上强调:“军队领导干部特别是高级干部要带头严肃党内政治生活,当好讲真话的表率,涵养能容人的雅量,营造说实情、建诤言、敢斗争的浓厚氛围。”领导干部必须把讲真话、听真话、纳真话作为政治必修课,坚持真理、求真务实,切实做到以真话诠释忠诚、以真话催生担当、以真话涵养生态。 真话蕴含忠诚,讲真话就是讲党性。言为心声,字句之间折射党性光芒、彰显忠诚本色。讲不讲真话,从来无关个人性格、无关表达方式,其本质是党性原则在言语上的直接体现。唯有党性坚强、对党绝对忠诚,方有讲真话的勇气和自觉。习主席指出,讲真话是一个领导干部真理在身、正义在手和有公心、有正气的重要体现。敢讲真话、不讲假话,是对共产党员基本的政治要求,是考验人格品质、党性修养的试金石,也是我们党一以贯之的优良传统。当年在遵义会议上,博古为自己和李德辩护。张闻天发言时,第一句话就是:“我认为博古同志的报告基本上是不正确的。”他的发言为坚定支持毛泽东同志的正确主张、彻底否定“左”倾军事路线定下基调。历史实践证明,只有敞开心扉,真诚坦荡地把最真实的情况和感受讲出来,才是对党忠诚、恪守党性的体现。前进道路上,领导干部必须带头讲真话、讲实话、讲心里话,敢于撕开“遮羞布”、捅破“窗户纸”,做到无话不可对党说、无事不可对党言,不隐瞒问题、不回避矛盾、不遮掩短板,始终以光明磊落的态度、开诚布公的胸怀、表里如一的行动,诠释对党的赤胆忠心。 真话承载担当,听真话方可真作为。真话,虽可能“逆耳”,却传递事实真相、内蕴担当精神。善听真话对领导干部来说,既是政治胸襟的体现,更是领导智慧的彰显。“知屋漏者在宇下,知政失者在草野。”基层官兵身处一线,对实情最清、对问题最明、对矛盾最敏感。训练场上,一句“战法脱离实战”的直言,能倒逼战训深度耦合;日常管理中,一声“形式主义害人”的诤言,可推动减负增效落地……这些看似揭短亮丑的真话,实则是官兵对部队建设最负责任的担当。听不到真话危害很大,不愿听真话是严重失职。领导干部如果听不到真话,就如同蒙眼行军,决策必然失准、工作必然走偏。只有多听真话,才能真实、全面、及时地了解基层官兵在想什么、基层实际情况是什么,进而有针对性地开展工作。因此,领导干部必须主动放下架子、扑下身子,深入班排哨所、训练一线,畅通渠道听兵言兵语,在听真话中正视短板、深挖根源,在直面问题中强化担当、真抓实干。唯有如此,才能凝聚起上下同心、攻坚克难的磅礴力量,推动强军事业不断迈上新台阶。 真话彰显作风,接纳真话才能纯净生态。“蓬生麻中,不扶而直。”真话畅则风气正,假话盛则歪风长。领导干部愿不愿听真话、能不能主动纳真话,关乎政治生态建设,关乎部队建设发展。如果乐于纳真话,旗帜鲜明地为讲真话者撑腰鼓劲,积极从不同声音尤其是批评性意见中汲取真知,就能有效激发官兵敢讲真话的勇气,推动形成求真务实、直言敢谏的生动局面。反之,若对逆耳忠言充耳不闻、置若罔闻,对官兵反映的真问题敷衍塞责、久拖不决,对合理建议束之高阁,甚至对讲真话者打击报复,久而久之就会无人再愿讲真话、道实情,其结果必然是阿谀奉承之风盛行、报喜藏忧成为常态。实践是最好的老师,领导干部一方面要主动营造鼓励讲真话的氛围,搭建讲真话的平台,对讲真话的人给予关怀和支持,让他们放下顾虑、畅所欲言;另一方面要以虚怀若谷、海纳百川的胸襟纳诤言,做到“虚心公听,言无逆逊,唯是之从”,让讲出的真话有回音、官兵的期盼能落实,从而推动敢于直言、敢讲真话在军营蔚然成风。

Summary

Machine summary

A political work article in Chinese military media, authored by Xie Feiyue, instructs PLA leading cadres to speak, solicit, and accept candid feedback from subordinates, invoking Xi Jinping's directive at a senior cadre training course and the Zunyi Conference as historical precedent. The article documents a persistent institutional problem the PLA explicitly names: sycophancy, problem-concealment, and retaliation against subordinates who raise issues—conditions that distort the information environment available to commanders. This fits a recurring pattern in PLA political work literature where the institution diagnoses its own feedback-suppression pathology, providing a baseline record of how the military frames the loyalty-versus-candor tension for mid-to-senior officers without indicating any new policy mechanism to enforce the norm.
