The so-called "head wild goose effect" standard for leading cadres in the new era is the basis for us to judge whether leading cadres play the "head wild goose" role and whether the "head wild goose effect" works. According to the party principle of the Communist Party of China, combining with the practical needs of the new era, and referring to the Party's historical experience and the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, to give full play to the "head wild goose effect" with the prescriptive significance of navigational effect, exemplary effect and linkage effect, leading cadres in the new era should have the four qualities, ideological and political quality, moral character quality, comprehensive ability quality and physical and mental health quality. These four qualities constitute the political standard, moral style standard, ability standard and health standard of the "head wild goose effect" for leading cadres in the new era.
