1. One of the job titles. The main responsibilities of the current secretary of our country are to assist leaders in handling general situations, investigations, contact receptions, and handling documents.

Assist leaders in contacting reception staff to handle documents and assignments.

Refers to the position of secretary.

The position of secretary is accompanied by the position of leadership. Only with leadership can a secretary exist. The relationship between the secretary and the leader is a special relationship different from the relationship between colleagues. The quality of this relationship is related to the development of the overall work and the success or failure of the secretarial work. The secretaries of general organs and units are not the special secretaries of a certain leader, but they serve the leadership group of the entire organ and unit, and their work has comprehensive characteristics.

From the perspective of the post of secretary, the post of secretary has undergone a process of transition from official to social career.

The secretary of today's society is essentially an assistant to the leader's work.

Secretary: It is a comprehensive auxiliary staff and public service staff around the leader and subject. They have the main functions of assisting decision-making, comprehensive coordination, communication of information, handling documents, meetings, and affairs. They are the staff and assistants of leaders and principals.

This definition can be understood from three perspectives:

1. The fundamental object of secretarial services is

   Various titles for secretaries in society

   Immediacy and stability of services

   Knowledge and specialization

   Youthful and feminine

   (2) The secretary is becoming a soft talent urgently needed in modern society

   The secretary is one of the representatives of "soft talent".

   The career path for secretaries is very long. China's accession to the WTO provides secretaries with more and more extensive development space.

   It can be summarized as " four transformations " and " six requirements"

   (I) "Four Changes" in Secretary Work

   "Three services" for secretarial work (for the central government; for the central departments and provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities; for the people)

   Secretary work should play "four roles" (staff role, assistant role, information role, coordination role)

   Achieving "Four Transformations

   1. Transforming from simply doing documents and doing business to doing both writing and planning;

   2. From simply passing information to comprehensively processing information;

   3. From passive service to active service:

   4. Change from doing things based on old experience to scientific management. These four changes actually put forward higher requirements for the secretarial staff, that is, the secretarial work should develop in the direction of comprehensive processing of information, active service and scientific management, which is also a characteristic of secretarial work in developed countries.

   (2) Six Emphasis on Secretary Work

   1. Emphasis on research work

   2. Emphasize

      Difference between functions and responsibilities

      Responsibilities are the specific tasks undertaken by secretarial staff in the activities of auxiliary management. It has the characteristics of diversity and specificity, and solves the problem of what the secretary should do

      Function is the overall function generated by all activities of the secretarial staff within the scope of their duties. It has macroscopic and general characteristics. It not only solves the problem of what the secretary does, but also the question of why and how the secretary should do .

      (I) Functions of Secretary

      Assist decision-making

      (1) The meaning of auxiliary decision-making: In the decision-making process, decision-making subjects are fully compensated in terms of knowledge (including theory), ability (including technology), experience, and energy, so as to improve the scientificity and timeliness of decision-making.

      (2) Characteristics of auxiliary decision-making: reflected in the following aspects:

      Comprehensiveness of auxiliary content

      With the globalization, informationization, and professionalization of economic management, the secretary has also begun to enter many fields with a new way of thinking, and has become an indispensable assistant to corporate leaders. In order to promote the modernization of secretarial work and improve the professional quality and working ability of secretarial staff, the state has implemented secretarial secretaries since 1998.

      Those who are engaged in procedural work in the office, assist leaders in handling government affairs and daily affairs, and provide services for leadership decision-making and implementation, as well as college students, graduates, and past graduates with professional qualifications as secretaries.

      On April 24, 2014, the overseas version of People's Daily published a full text of a speech by Comrade Xi Jinping in 1990, "The Style of a Secretary's Work-Talking with the Officials of the County Office". Although more than 20 years have passed, the thoughts in the article still shine with the light of the times. "Every sentence is true." The article pointed out that the secretary should strive to achieve the "five nos": not arrogant, not arrogant, not arrogant, inferior, and self-righteous. This not only has a strong learning value for those who are secretaries, but also has profound educational significance for the majority of leading cadres, especially young leading cadres.

      If you are not self-confident, arrogant, self-confident, inferior, or self-righteous, the "five nos", when read carefully, are all critical denials and strict requirements for some bad mentalities. State of mind determines state. For leading cadres, the mentality not only affects their own external image, but also affects the comrades around them, affects the working atmosphere, and affects the political ecology through words and deeds. Correct mentality is an important part of strengthening the self-cultivation of leading cadres and a necessary prerequisite for improving the ability of leading cadres to perform their duties. Implementing the "five nos" requirement into the leadership behavior of cadres will be a useful exploration to strengthen the cadre's mentality.

      Strengthening mentality construction lies in treating yourself properly. Chairman Mao said, "Everyone knows his own way." As a leading cadre, we must be realistic about our own "coordinates", and we must neither look at ourselves too highly nor arrogantly. Job changes and career development are of course closely related to personal abilities, but personal encounters are different. Some people are prosperous, smooth sailing, and some people are ups and downs. Regarding the former, we should not think that adolescents can rely on one's ambition and have fear or fear, that is, they must "do not inferiority"; for the latter, they must overcome the contempt and inferiority, that is, do not have inferiority. In short, in the face of ups and downs of life, fame and gain, you must have the usual heart, take it easy-when you have gains, you don't have to be complacent; ^[1]

      There are four levels in this profession: secretary five (national vocational qualification level 5, former junior), secretary four (national vocational qualification level 4, former intermediate), and secretary three (national vocational qualification level 3, original Senior), Second Secretary (Second National Vocational Qualification).
