HO CHI MINH’S THOUGHT ON TALENT AND THE EMPLOYMENT OF TALENT: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL VALUES

<p>Ho Chi Minh’s thought on talents and the utilization of talents constitutes a vital component of his ideological framework on cadre work and national development. Affirming that “<em>National construction requires talents</em>”, Ho Chi Minh underscored the pivotal role of human capital in the revolutionary endeavor. His conception of talent was comprehensive, transcending the boundaries of Party membership and state officials to embrace all individuals endowed with capability, virtue, and a spirit of service to the nation. According to Ho Chi Minh, true talent must harmoniously integrate both “<em>ability</em>” and “<em>ethics</em>”; it must be systematically identified, selected, assigned, and utilized in accordance with individual competencies within a democratic and transparent environment. Moreover, he placed particular emphasis on the role of those responsible for cadre work, asserting that such individuals must embody ethical integrity, strategic vision, and practical competence — in other words, they must possess “<em>virtue, vision, and ability</em>” in human resource management. Ho Chi Minh’s thought offers not only profound theoretical insights but also enduring practical relevance, especially in the contemporary context where Vietnam is vigorously pursuing industrialization, modernization, and global integration. The creative application of his thought on talent cultivation and utilization stands as a critical key to building a high-caliber cadre contingent, thereby fostering rapid and sustainable national development.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0908/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
