The construction of work style is not only a tough battle but also a protracted war and a comprehensive battle. It is necessary to focus on key points, grasp the key points, target corrections, and continue to exert effort. It is essential to strengthen education and management for key targets, such as top leaders, young cadres, newly promoted officials, and key position holders, continuously guiding and urging them to cultivate party spirit, discern right from wrong, and enhance determination. Moreover, it is crucial to focus on key areas and key issues, understand regional, sectoral, and stage-specific characteristics, strictly punish stubborn issues in work style, and use strict discipline to crack down on unhealthy trends. As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, all levels of disciplinary and supervisory agencies must play a "combination punch" of supervision. This includes pre-festival education and reminders, public exposure of violations, in-festival supervision and inspection, post-festival strict investigation and rapid enforcement, and push for rectification, in order to continuously deepen and solidify the construction of work style through effective supervision.
