lack of specialized personnel; One of the management challenges of Gilan

Referring to some management challenges in Gilan province, the representative of Foman and Shaft people in the Islamic Council considered the lack of capable and expert forces to assume executive responsibilities as one of the important issues and clarified: the change of managers should be done by carefully examining the capabilities and making sure that there is a more competent option; Because the replacement of managers without regard to the expertise, commitment and experience of people cannot lead to the improvement of the performance of the devices.

He also emphasized the need for managers to pay attention to people's demands and added: the way officials deal with people and their response rate are among the issues that should be seriously considered and the grievances raised in people's appeals should be the basis of investigation and follow-up.

The necessity of passing through formal information and moving towards professional content production

The People's Representative of Foman and Shaft in the parliament criticized the limitation of part of media activities to the publication of news related to the presence of officials in meetings and ceremonies, and emphasized the need to move towards producing effective and audience-oriented content.

Pointing to the importance of documenting the actions taken, he stated: gathering accurate information, proper processing of data and providing understandable content for the audience can help to better understand the actions taken and increase the effectiveness of information.

Emphasizing the role of the media in the fair reflection of the officials' performance, Masoumi said: media activists are expected to express the strengths, shortcomings and weaknesses with a fair and expert approach in order to provide a basis for correcting the problems and improving the performance of the devices.

He suggested holding question-and-answer meetings with the presence of managers of executive bodies, prefects and other relevant officials and said: In such meetings, issues and problems can be raised directly and the relevant officials can be asked to answer; An approach that can help clarify issues and increase responsiveness to people's demands.
