What is the principle of collective leadership system 16?

Collective leadership, democratic centralism, individual deliberation and meeting decision.

The four aspects of the "sixteen-character" principle are interrelated to form a complete and rigorous scientific system, which is a scientific summary of the new experience of the leadership work of the party Committee in the new period. It profoundly reveals the objective law of the party's leadership work, reflects the inherent requirements of strengthening the party Committee construction under the new situation, further enriches the Marxist theory of democratic centralism, and points out the direction for realizing the democratization and scientific decision-making of the party Committee.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee's "Decision of the Central Committee on Several Major Issues in Strengthening Party Building" emphasizes that "decisions on major issues should be fully brewed, negotiated and discussed" and "meeting decisions" are the necessary procedures for collective decision-making by party committees. On the basis of full deliberation, consultation and discussion, major issues should be voted and decided according to the principle that the minority is subordinate to the majority, and the decision-making at the meeting is directly related to the correctness and quality of the decision-making.

The position and significance of collective leadership system

As the highest principle of the party's leadership, the collective leadership system is the embodiment and application of democratic centralism in the party's leadership system. This system requires that in leadership work, all major issues must be discussed and decided collectively by appropriate members of the party, and individuals or a few people cannot act arbitrarily. Collective leadership and individual division of labor should not be ignored. While giving full play to the role of collective leadership, each leading member is also required to shoulder his own responsibilities according to the division of labor.

Lenin pointed out in his letter to party organizations at all levels drafted for the Bolshevik Party Central Committee that all organs "must exercise collective leadership", and the article "On the Problems of Perfecting the Party Committee System" also pointed out that "the Party Committee System is an important system for the Party to ensure collective leadership and prevent individuals from monopolizing it".
