Recently, Korean drama " Major League Baseball " ushered in a new viewership peak five weeks after its launch. In the latest week's ranking, it surpassed the popular " Love's Crash Landing ". At the same time, the score on the rating website has also risen to 9.4, which has become a dark horse in winter. This Korean drama, starring Namong Min as the leader of the baseball team Bai Shengxiu, tells the story of how the Dream Baseball Club, which was behind the bottom in the 2019 regular season, faced internal and external difficulties under the leadership of the new leader Bai Shengxiu, and made the team come out of themselves. Rather than saying that this is an inspirational story of a professional baseball team, it is better to say that this is a life drama of how middle-aged people in the workplace can play against internal and external difficulties.
Stills. The protagonist Bai team leader
has won the championship and disbanded three times and then disbanded. The "most embarrassing team leader in history"
This drama is interesting and convenient. The screenwriter sets us a former team leader character (hand team, wrestling team, ice hockey team) at the beginning, who has led three teams of different types of sports to win championships and disband. Such people are definitely losers in reality, and it is even more incredible to change the industry every time.
So, this is first of all, a self-contest and game. On the one hand, the existing workplace has no longer had its own place; on the other hand, new opportunities in the workplace still exist, but they have to face great unfamiliarity and uncertainty. Therefore, breaking this comfort and then changing one's own disadvantages and overcoming inner obstacles to make new choices is also the starting point for us to make decisions and act. The change and difficulties in the workplace are not limited to this. Even if you make a choice, unsatisfactions and conflicts in the workplace will accompany you.
In the drama, when Dream Dream Team failed in the last game, all the frustrated people gathered in the restaurant to complain and self-deprecating, which is so resonant. The old team leader blamed himself for winning 43 wins this year and 46 last year, and insisted on resigning from the team leader position because he won three games less. The propaganda team leader complained that there is no information to spread in such a failed team. The marketing team leader complained that his marketing ability is not weaker than that of the champion team. How can he do good marketing without spending money in a baseball team?
Stills. This drama is more of a workplace drama than a sports drama.
managers re-establish leadership prestige and team confidence
airborne team leader, and first entered a new cross-border team. Captain Bai is about to face a series of problems in the last four years, the team's hearts are divided, the players' strength is generally poor, the coaches are doing their own things to seek benefits, and the scouts in the management team also have hidden secrets of recruiting new members.
Faced with such internal and external difficulties, the first thing Captain Bai Shengxiu did was to continue his original position as the head coach and accept the invitation from two independent coaching camps. While drinking and having fun, he directly used the snake to beat seven inches, and then spoke directly that the two camps could fight, but they had to show their true baseball strength because he knew that whether the head coach was replacing the blood would not have much impact, and how to balance the coaches who were currently in charge and inspire the real team's fighting spirit was the way to solve the team's downwardness.
followed closely behind, and he also began to manage the "black sheep" in the team, making a decision to transfer his hometown against Ren Dongkui, a player who was very popular and repeatedly won the Golden Glove Award but was actually intrinsic and narrow-minded. During this period, he actively mediated with the leader of his rival Pirates team, and also used team public opinion to send a smokescreen to replace Ren Dongkui with young player Liu Minhao. In fact, he wanted to use the bad card he wanted to abandon - Ren Dongkui to exchange for the ace player who is more beneficial to the team combination - Jiang Douji.
In the end, Captain Bai successfully won Jiang Douji and Liu Minhao. The former has the style of a general and has strength, while the latter is young but has potential. A bad card was exchanged for the real ace and deputy, and then revitalized a whole deck. Such a game is absolutely admirable.
Stills.Jiang Douji and Bai Group Leader
At the same time, facing the company's internal doubts about their professional abilities and judgments, he used a very efficient collective conference form to break through a set of data and analysis maps in a professional presentation to break everyone's doubts about it, and also build the prestige of the group leader, which inspires members' confidence to follow the group leader.
Behind these professional data and analysis, what we can see is the learning that the group leader spent countless hours doing, whether it was reading books before dinner or the data collection and analysis work done at home.
Another breakthrough in the workplace is not only strong psychology and courage, but more importantly, professional strength and continuous efforts. The hidden crises and unpredictable risks in the profession can always make reality change with sufficient preparation and practical actions.
Confronting changes in the external environment, people-friendly game
If you want to sign international players overseas, it is to solve the problem of team players' allocation under external resources and situations. Then, facing the unreasonable requirement of a 30% salary cut in the executive year shows us how to seek stability within the organization and play with different people's hearts. This is also the most exciting and exciting plot in Major League Baseball so far.
Even if it seems to be a very glorious professional baseball team, it is just a player who lives on the annual salary paid by the club, or a "worker" who can count the income at one hand. Here, there are newcomers who have not achieved enough results at a young age, and there are elderly people who have served the team for many years but have mediocre qualifications... With different interests and people's hearts, how can Captain Bai meet the needs of all parties and finally achieve the overall salary reduction goal, and stabilize the personnel within?
The first thing Captain Bai did was to change the KPI standard setting of player evaluation, making this new game rules more fair, objective and convincing. Secondly, grasping each person's different inner pain points and curbing the tricks of brokers with bad intentions. In the end, Team Leader Bai also had a final battle with the company executive, ending with the team Leader's victory.

This human-heart game is to strive to achieve the best match between baseball team members under dynamic environment and conditions, including financial resources, manpower, and try to reduce possible personal conflicts and negative team information. In other words, abiding by certain rules, pursuing the best interests and results of the organization, reducing conflicts and contradictions in all aspects, and choosing and making strategies and actions are often the extremely core work of an individual, a team and a company.
undoubtedly, this also reflects the possible life patterns in our workplace. Games, English Games, aren’t our workplace and life also pursuing our best interests and goals? Because any change in conditions and external factors may lead to things developing in another direction.
Life is just about making choices in these games. But what is ultimately not important anymore. Of course, the author is still looking forward to the championship trophy of Captain Bai Shengxiu in this story.
