(Kazan City KZN.RU, 17 February, Zilya Gayfi). Today Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin met with members of the republican project "Personnel reserve". The Mayor gave the students advice on how to become a successful leader and build team work in government agencies.

More than 50 students of higher educational institutions of the city has gathered to listen to the speaker in the free space "Dial" in the center of Kazan. They had just returned from the second stage of the seventh season of republican project "Personnel reserve" held at the youth center "Volga". 90 people from several regions and cities of Tatarstan were the participants of the second phase, including 58 people from Kazan, as well as students who arrived to the Tatarstan capital from Mari-El, Penza and Kirov regions, Bashkortostan and Udmurtia.

Ilsur Metshin greeted the guys, thanking them for what they have found free time in their busy schedule of work and study and came to the meeting. According to the head of the city, this feature is inherent in a true leader, which the project "Personnel reserve" is intended to raise. "People become the leaders. Personally my story of success is related to the success of my city. As a child I was captain of the hockey team in the yard, warden at school, one of the first I was admitted in Komsomol. It is important to be always ahead. But leadership imposes a double responsibility, because you have to work for the people, to love them, to be able to listen and to unite in command,"- the Mayor began the conversation and asked the students to question what is more important - to be a successful manager or a happy man, forcing children to think about. According to the speaker, it is important to find a balance.

Most of the participants of “Personnel reserve" admit that they seek to get a job in municipal or republican government after the project. Ilsur Metshin noted that the prospect of work, for example, in the Mayor's Office or the district administration is very tempting; however, as everywhere else, there are some difficulties. "Working in the municipal authorities is a big, hard work, which is 80% invisible, because people appreciate only results", - the Mayor said. The Mayor cited Universiade-2013 and the World Championships in Aquatics 2015 as examples; they became the brightest pages of the history of the millennial city and, according to the organizers - the best in the history of these world events. Ilsur Metshin called successful holding of the World Cup in 2018 and the Championship of workers «WorldSkills» occupations in 2019 as the primary objectives for the coming years.

As the project "Personnel reserve" aims to identify promising young leaders, students asked the Mayor of Kazan to give advice how to pick a team to work on large projects. "Do not judge the employee on the first impression. The principle is simple - you need to gather around you the most talented people. In recent years large flow of those wishing to come to study, live and work in Kazan increased. This shows that the capital of Tatarstan is attractive. But the desire to earn a lot is a big risk for the young. First of all, you need to become a good specialist, indispensable in your work and in your positions,"- the Mayor advised.

During the meeting, students asked questions about the governor, not associated with the work of the local authorities. In particular, participants of the project "Personnel reserve" was interested in the plans of the football club "Rubin", whose president Ilsur Metshin is. "We are studying the international experience to raise the "Rubin" to a decent standard. I saw the best clubs of the world inside - "Arsenal", "Juventus", "Tottenham", "Chelsea", "Liverpool" and, you know, a bicycle is already invented. But Russia does not have any football analysts in the structure of clubs or sports-established supply system, there are other problems to be solved. We have something to strive for,"- the Mayor said.

Session of questions and answers was held in the format of a frank and dynamic conversation, by the way, the head of Kazan held a half-hour conversation standing - there were so many who want to ask questions to the speaker. In conclusion, Ilsur Metshin handed books on personal development and the development of leadership skills to the participants. "Write a book of your life and follow a simple motto: today is better than yesterday, and then you will succeed," - the Mayor advised and wished success to the participants of the project. Students, in turn, thanked the head of the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan for a detailed discussion of the project and gave him a mentor certificate of the "Personnel reserve".
