❍ 领导者必须经常掌握这一主动，不要因为过分小心，许多有关政策问题，仅限于少数干部知道，弄得群众及下级干部反～，结果必使自己陷于被动。(《周恩来选集》上—301)Leading cadres should constantly take the initiative to provide policy information and not limit such information to just a few cadres through over-cau tion. The latter approach will cause doubts and hesitation among the masses and cadres at lower levels,and in the end it will reduce the leading cadres themselves to a passive role.
