Fourth, it is necessary to establish the concept of looking at the cadres' strong points and not demanding perfection in employing people. When young or intellectual cadres are promoted, it often happens that people do not look at their main current or strong points but instead find faults in a petty manner and indulge in idle gossip about them If the leading cadres are bound up by this old concept of demanding perfection and do not come forward to speak out, they cannot discover and employ talented people. In fact, those cadres who manage to get by in various respects are often unable to create a new situation. In employing cadres, we must take advantage of their strong points and not lay stress on their weak points. We must not make unrealistic and excessive demands regarding the leadership experience of young and intellectual cadres.
