(Episode 6: It's My First Time Being a Leader)
Mr. Kang, you're here early.
Mr. Choi, you're here.
–Hey. –The sample of our private label product...
...will be coming out today,
so I wanted to do a final check.
You're so hard–working.
Didn't you work late yesterday too?
–Yes. –I was like that when I was your age too.
Goodness, if everyone in our department...
...worked as hard as you do...
...we wouldn't have to worry...
...about layoffs or anything.
I guess leaders and team members have different ideas.
Isn't that so, Mr. Kang?
Yes, I guess.
Hello.
–Hello. –You're here.
–Hello. –Good morning.
Hey, Jin–ju. You're blinding me.
–Good morning. –Hello.
Good morning.
Yu–jin, did something great happen? You're looking gorgeous today.
–I got a new spring outfit. –I see.
It really suits you.
Great taste.
Thank you.
A great buy.
Can't you all come a bit earlier?
You come to work exactly at 9:00 a.m. and leave exactly at 6:00 p.m.
Everything is so peaceful, isn't it?
Mr. Kang is the first to come and the last to leave.
Any thoughts?
Goodness.
–Let's get to work. –Let's work.
–Yes. –Let's get to work.
Please sign off on the expense report.
The Accounting Team wants it quickly.
Okay.
(Park Sang–wook, Yang Sun–young, Han Jin– ju)
Let's see.
(In, out, Park Sang–wook, Yang Sun–young, Han Jin–ju)
I'll read it over quickly and approve it.
Okay.
Mr. Kang.
–Let's go. –Okay.
Mr. Park, I'll sign it when I return.
–Is that all right? –What?
Sure.
Mr. Kang.
When will the sample for M Bookstore's private label product be ready?
It'll arrive this morning.
I see.
I called you here early...
...because the sales performance...
...of the Sales and Planning Department...
...did not look great for the first half of last year.
We'll soon put together a list of people to be laid off...
...according to the performance of this quarter.
The result of the private label project will reflect heavily on that.
I also asked you two...
...to come up with a way to recover from the poor performance.
Do you have it?
Yes, Mr. Kang prepared it.
Show him.
We will implement this as of today.
I'm not sure if this will work.
Anyway...
...great work. You must be busy. You can go.
Mr. Choi. Mr. Kang.
The private label project has to be a success.
The CEO is expecting a lot too.
Yes, things are going smoothly.
He's right. Do not worry.
I've never seen the director like that.
That's who he really is.
That's why he holds that position.
Mr. Kang.
Let's stay on top of everything and hold out.
Yes, I will not let anyone in our department fall behind.
I won't.
Mr. Kang, I trust you.
Goodness, the document I submitted for an approval is wrong.
I have to edit it.
Where did Mr. Kang put it?
The document to be approved.
(In, out, Park Sang–wook, Yang Sun–young, Han Jin–ju)
(Jung Woo–young, Kang Hyun–wook, Lee Yu–jin, No Ji–won, Park Jong–soo)
Mr. Park.
What are you doing at my seat?
Oh, looking for this. The document for approval.
Something was wrong on the report, so I wanted to edit it.
I came to grab this.
Then please submit it again.
Okay.
Okay, put a hold on what you were doing.
I have an announcement to make, so please come to the meeting room.
–Yes. –Okay.
Mr. Kang, that dude.
There's definitely something fishy about that notebook.
What if it's a hit list?
Gosh, I'm getting a headache.
You're each assigned to make cold calls.
Call each company, find out who's in charge of PR...
...send our brochure to them...
...and report back with a list of companies...
...that are willing to have a meeting with us.
At least 10 companies per person.
What?
It's a bit primitive, isn't it?
But nothing shows a better result than doing the legwork.
I know you are all busy, but please find some time to do this...
...and turn in the list by next Tuesday, please.
Mr. Kang, we already have a huge workload.
I don't think we can do this by next Tuesday.
And it's unrealistic to secure 10 meetings.
Yes, I doubt it'll be easy to get just three meetings.
Why are you all complaining?
If you're told to do something, you just say yes and do it.
The department evaluation will be held soon.
Wouldn't it be great if our department can become number one?
Sang–wook.
Where are you right now?
Say something. Why won't you say anything?
Let's try doing it for now.
Hey, what?
And I have one more thing to ask of you.
You usually keep your work log on a weekly basis...
...but starting today, please turn in a daily work log.
I can't get a grasp of each of your duties.
I will share the form.
That's a bit too––
Hello, everyone.
Our sample has arrived outside.
Gosh, this is beautiful.
I really like this shade of pink.
It's so pretty.
Ms. Yoon, what do you think?
I'm 100 percent satisfied.
I think it'll be a huge hit.
I'm worried we'll be worn out if it does too well.
All the members of the private label project––
No, everyone of Sales and Planning Department...
...great work.
We made that with our blood, sweat, and tears.
Of course, it's the best.
–My gosh. –Okay.
Why don't we...
...give ourselves a round of applause?
–Great work. –Great work.
–Great work, everyone. –All right!
–Mr. Kang. –Yes?
Great work.
Okay.
–Let's do it. –Let's do it. Go!
Go!
Mr. Choi and I go way back.
But nowadays, he always says...
..."Mr. Kang, hey, Mr. Kang."
He did this with him too. My gosh.
Everyone knows that we were the best partners of One Dozen.
Like a needle and thread. A fish and a fish bun.
Oh, that's not right.
(Please work with me)
Do you really think you and your boss are like a needle and thread?
Do you want to know what the compatibility between you and your colleague is like?
Please become my boss
Juo, experts who can match you with your perfect boss...
...will check how compatible you are with your colleague.
I, Kang Yu–mi, prepared a scientific compatibility analysis.
Let's take a look.
This is the compatibility table that was made popular...
...on online communities and social media.
This table puts the boss and his junior staff into these types.
Smart–diligent.
(Someone who is smart and diligent)
Smart–lazy.
(Someone who is smart yet lazy)
Dumb–diligent.
(Someone who is dumb yet diligent)
And lastly, dumb–lazy.
Is there a perfect match among these types?
Let's take a look.
A boss who is smart–lazy...
...and a smart–diligent junior make...
...the number one dream team...
...comprised of the best of the best.
Someone who's good at work hands out work perfectly...
...then the junior who's good at work can work diligently.
This is a match that can help both parties grow 200 percent.
On the other hand, a dumb–diligent boss...
...and a dumb–diligent junior.
They tend to become loving best friends.
They just do whatever they are told...
...and they don't care if it goes wrong.
They don't really get anything out of it.
There is a 120 percent chance that both of them will not get a promotion.
Then how compatible are the employees of One Dozen?
Manager Park Sang–wook is definitely a dumb–diligent boss.
Lee Yu–jin is a junior who is definitely smart–diligent.
The smart–diligent junior is probably frustrated...
...because of a boss who meddles with her for no reason.
I can't stand to hear this anymore, Kang Yu–mi.
I'm the best match for Yu–jin compared to everyone else.
I see.
Okay, then. I will conduct...
...a compatibility test with a long history, which is mathematical, scientific...
...and based on the yin, yang, and five elements of the universe.
Okay, Park Sang–wook.
(Park, Lee, Sang, Yu)
Lee Yu–jin.
(You can only do this with people whose name has three Korean characters)
(72 percent)
–What? –See that?
Did you see that?
We're a great match.
–Yu–jin! Yu–jin! –That's odd. This is accurate.
(Lee Yu–jin)
You don't even know anything.
I thought you're someone...
...who can check people's compatibility...
–...but you're awful at it. –Choi Young–soo.
Park Sang–wook.
Okay, let's see.
(11 percent)
(I thought you were like a needle and thread with him)
But I'll check how compatible you are with a woman.
You like someone, don't you?
Tell me where she's sitting and how many times you look at her in a day.
(How many times do I look at her?)
–She sits on the north side. –The north?
–It's Ms. Yoon Hee–soo. –Yoon Hee–soo.
How many times?
–14 times. –14.
No. Wait.
–It's 15 times. –15 times.
East, west, south, north, east, west, south, north.
That's 14, 15.
(It's hopeless, so get a hold of yourself)
It's hopeless.
I can't help you with this.
Hee–soo, let's eat lunch together.
How about the stew place that we used to go to?
Stew?
(Kang Baek–ho: Hee–soo, let's eat lunch together)
Do you think that place is still there?
Okay, let's go there.
Gosh, this place is the same...
...as when we dated––
We used to come here often.
I had no money back then.
Baek–ho.
Why did you send me a text message saying you don't have a girlfriend?
What?
That?
Because it's a fact.
So why?
What do you mean? I just sent you a factual text.
I hope you don't jump to conclusions.
Then why did you want to come here?
I love gochujang stew.
You do too.
Hey, eat up. It gets thick when it turns cold, and it's not as good.
Good.
Mr. Kang, you became very sly with age.
He had to let me know that he doesn't have a girlfriend...
...and he brought me to a place of our memories.
Anyone can tell that he wants to work things out again, right?
Well, if he wants to try...
This is Kang Baek–ho.
Yes.
Are you sure?
–Yu–jin. –My gosh.
–Yes? –Here.
–What is this? –A pen.
You know, I'm a stationery fanatic.
It may look ordinary on the outside...
...but it was custom–made. That pen is the only one in this world.
Exactly.
–Why are you giving this to me? –What?
Because I want to give it to you.
Yes.
Oh, I knew it. I was right.
You did something wrong to me, didn't you?
That's why you keep doing this.
What is it?
It's not like that.
It's my hobby to make pens, so I'm giving one to you too.
A hobby. Are you sure?
Then thank you for the pen.
Okay.
Right.
It's nothing much, but take this.
Thank you.
Okay.
This is the first present she's given me.
It all begins with small things like these...
...just as many drops can make a flood.
Slowly.
That's my strategy.
Where's Hyun–wook?
I don't think he's back from lunch yet.
It's exactly the same as our sample.
There is this foreign image website that I look at often...
...and when I saw the sample today...
...it looked really familiar.
I did a search just in case...
...and saw PR images that Art Fancy will release this very soon.
And it's also made...
...with bamboo fabric just like ours.
I thought I should tell you.
When did you first see this?
Well, about two to three weeks ago.
Why didn't you...
Why didn't you tell us immediately?
I wasn't a part of the private label project team...
...and I just took a brief look at it.
Mr. Kang, how did this happen?
Didn't you conduct market research?
I did do it, but...
Goodness.
What are we going to do?
We have to launch this at M Bookstore very soon.
They will be furious if they find out.
What about the director? And the CEO?
Gosh, I can't believe such a huge accident broke out at this point.
I will push ahead with this for now.
–We need a good performance. –Shouldn't we...
...put the project to a halt?
Hyun–wook, you may go.
What we just discussed is off–the–record. You know, right?
Yes.
–What are we going to do? –It'll be...
...a major problem if we do not meet M Bookstore's schedule anyway.
I asked the factory, and we can postpone production up to a week.
I will...
...think of a solution within a few days.
Okay. Let's do what we can.
I'll think about this too.
This is driving me crazy.
While I'm at the executive meeting in the afternoon...
...go push your team members.
We need to show some performance in making sales by cold calling.
I will.
About the list that I asked you to put together this morning...
...by cold calling companies.
Please have it ready by this week.
I thought it was due next Tuesday.
We're in a hurry.
Are you ill?
I have a sore throat.
It'll be due this week.
Please keep a record of the progress on your daily work log.
I will be going out for work.
Yes, we want to send our brochure.
–This is One Dozen Office. –Who's in charge of the PR?
–Yes, okay. –Yes, all right.
Thank you.
No, this isn't a spam call.
Oh, yes. I see.
–I'm calling today to... –We'd like to send it to you via mail.
This is so annoying. Why do they keep saying it's a spam call?
Yes, we'll send it over. Thank you.
Gosh, my throat hurts.
I still have 50 more to go.
Whatever, I'm doing this tomorrow.
Ms. Yang, we have to fill out the work log too, don't we?
–Of course, we do. –Darn it.
This is crazy. I have to write a proposal for Pusan National University's renewal.
Hello, this is One Dozen.
Mr. Park, are you all right?
Goodness, I'm not feeling so well today.
I have to finish my quota for cold calling.
Wait here. I'll get you some water.
You should stop for today.
I think you should call it a day.
I'll try to hold out until we get off.
Man, Mr. Kang is accelerating way too quickly.
He doesn't have any brakes!
Does he want all of us to die?
A leader shouldn't be like this.
Darn it.
(The next day)
What do you mean, there's a product that looks the same as our private label product?
It's true.
Art Fancy will be launching this next week.
I received a sample of it...
...thanks to a factory manager that I know.
If you found out in the afternoon, why are you telling me this now?
This is absolutely important.
I wanted to check for myself before I tell you, that's why. I'm sorry.
How can the concept be exactly the same?
What do you mean?
Think about it.
The development of this product was top secret.
But these look like they are twins.
I'm beginning to wonder if One Dozen leaked it out to them.
Leaked out?
We offered you many proposals...
...and M Bookstore was the one who chose the eco–friendly concept.
The managing director of M Bookstore was the one who recommended the illustrator.
We received the approval of M Bookstore in every single step...
...of the project.
So are you trying to say that it's M Bookstore's fault?
It's not our fault either.
It's just a coincidence.
A coincidence?
Are you going to keep saying such irresponsible things?
You need to come up with a countermeasure.
Please calm down.
It's a relief that we found out now.
Mr. Kang is looking for a way...
–...so give him some time. –What if he doesn't?
This is...
...a very important project for my team.
It's important for us too.
I will find a way.
I will.
I Hate Going to Work
I'm sure all of you know that we're about to launch...
...a private label product, the most important project for our department.
However...
...we decided to add another component to make it different...
...from other companies' products.
So do come up with two ideas...
...and hand it over to Mr. Kang.
I know it's very sudden...
...but please have it ready by tomorrow morning.
Mr. Kang.
Mr. Choi, isn't this too harsh?
How many things did you just throw at our face in the last few days?
It's not like we come to work and just hang out doing nothing.
I know that.
We have our reasons, so just do it.
So what is that reason?
Our senior intern didn't come to work because he's too sick.
And Ms. Han went home early because she was feeling under the weather.
We're all going to collapse at this rate.
You don't even do any overtime. You aren't going to collapse.
If anyone collapses, it would be Mr. Kang.
We take our work home and do it there.
Quiet!
If you don't want to do something that the company wants you to do...
...just stay at home.
Don't bother coming to work.
–Okay? –Gosh.
Darn it.
Mr. Kang.
The report on Sehwa Life Insurance that you asked for a few days ago.
Right.
What is this?
Where are the request for proposal and the abridged company history?
What?
You just asked me to put together a report on the company.
I did.
But you brought it without all the essential information.
Oh, I just thought that––
Okay, I get it.
I'll look for it.
Get back to work.
Okay.
Mr. Kang.
Can you come over to my seat for a second?
Sure.
You didn't show any performance after making cold calls.
Are you sure you talked to them?
They told me to send over our brochure...
...but none of them wanted to have a meeting with us yet.
Did you try begging them?
Did you try begging them wholeheartedly?
Mr. Kang.
You don't even have such a skill while working in this department?
This is your fourth year.
How can you do worse than Ji–won, who just started working here?
This is the reject list.
(Rejected: Turned down)
Call them again and show me some results.
You should answer me.
Yes.
I'll do that.
Okay.
Don't you think...
...Mr. Kang is a bit sensitive today?
Maybe I shouldn't have told him that I saw...
...a similar product.
I want to do well too.
This is my fourth year.
Does he have to be that harsh on me?
They say compliments can even make a whale dance.
I think I can work better with a leader...
...who can comfort me and cheer me on.
Sometimes having too much of something isn't good.
But sometimes there are things that are good to have a lot of.
It's something that even makes the whales dance...
...compliments.
Compliments can become a strong motivation for some people.
We decided to check with Bella the beluga whale.
(Bella, male, loves physical contact, Nickname: Canary of the sea)
We wanted to find out if compliments will make a whale dance.
I believe that saying is absolutely correct.
Compliments can actually make these whales dance.
Great job.
You're so adorable.
Great work. Great job.
That's it. To the side.
One, two. You're so good. That's it.
You're so good.
Shake your head.
That's it.
What you just heard is the sound that he makes...
...when he is in a great mood.
The most important part of my job is...
...to communicate with these beluga whales.
And complimenting them positively is the most important aspect.
If I compliment them and open up my heart...
...they will become close to me too.
But if I show any negative behaviors...
...they probably will never come to me.
If you scold someone saying, "Why did you do that?"...
...you can probably see a good result in a short–term.
But the secretion of dopamine or serotonin...
...will either decrease or be in an imbalance.
It can result in a decline in motivation or depression.
However, when we receive compliments...
...or when we are complimented...
...a particular neurotransmitter will be secreted in your brain.
When that activates your brain...
...you will feel happy.
And you take that memory of feeling happy...
...and look forward to receiving compliments as a reward next time.
You begin to work harder to seek that reward.
There's nothing scarier than getting addicted to compliments.
Mr. Choi, did you want to see me?
You're here.
Do you smoke?
No, I quit.
Me too.
Let's just smoke in a time like this.
Yes.
It's tough, isn't it?
It's always the worst for the middle managers.
If you learn how to control the dynamics...
...you'll succeed as a leader.
I stayed a senior manager...
...because I couldn't do that.
To be honest, I've done everything that my bosses told me to do...
...so I got promoted very quickly too.
I didn't really have any challenges.
But now that I have to lead a team...
...it's not easy.
I need to look after my team members...
...while achieving good results.
Gosh, is this what it's like...
...to be a leader?
How could you not tell me about the exact same product?
Had the manager of the factory in Paju not told me that something seemed off...
...I would've been completely fooled.
Is this how you'll take care of things?
Answer me!
I have nothing to say, sir.
We're sorry. We were going to tell you after finding a solution.
You see...
...M Bookstore won't let allow us...
...to make a new product.
What will you do now?
We're trying our best...
...to come up with a solution now.
To differentiate our new product...
...we're working on another packaging option.
You're trying your best?
You're working on it?
I'm sorry, sir.
Mr. Kang, I guess I overestimated you.
Mr. Tae in Global Business joined our company two years before you did, right?
Have you heard about him getting the project for GV Group?
Yes, I have.
Listen up, Mr. Kang.
Global Business, the department Sales and Planning had been outdoing...
...landed a project that will sustain them for the whole year.
Then what should Sales and Planning's stance be now?
I'll tell you.
Unless you want your team members laid off...
...you must deliver results no matter what.
You understand, right?
Mr. Choi, you too.
If you don't want to sit around idly at home...
...you'll have to bring your A game.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
–Oh, boy. –Gosh.
I'm leaving.
Are you done for the day?
I want to leave!
I can't stand Kang Baek–ho anymore.
He showed up out of nowhere...
...and yet he's all arrogant with that title of his.
I'm done with him for the day.
I agree. He's out of line these days.
Mr. Choi was never that cranky and difficult.
It's Kang Baek–ho's fault he became like that.
Kang Baek–ho wants to deliver results...
...so that he can impress the higher–ups.
Does he live here or what?
Why does he always arrive early and leave late?
He's too much.
I mean, we fulfill all our normal duties.
Why must he make it look like it's not enough?
What is this situation?
You're right.
I don't care anymore. I'm leaving too.
Darn it.
My twins are going on a field trip tomorrow.
I need to pack their lunch.
He's not in the office at the moment...
...so how about we all leave?
–I'm leaving. –Let's go.
Let's go.
–Let's call it a day. –I'm leaving.
Let's all leave.
–See you tomorrow. –Take it easy.
Bye.
Oh?
Did everyone leave?
Yes, sir. Just now.
I can't believe this.
I should fire all of them or something.
Are you going to stay late?
–Yes. –Why don't we grab a drink?
Not today. I'm behind on my work.
All right. I'll get going, then.
Okay.
Thank you for all your help.
Get home safely.
–Yu–jin. –Yes, sir.
Here.
Bye.
Thank you, sir.
Yu–jin, why are you still here?
Oh, I haven't completed my task log.
–Right, the task log. –Oh.
Shall I order some food for you...
...or step out and pick up something?
No, don't worry. I shouldn't add to your workload.
I'll figure it out myself.
You don't need to worry.
Oh, okay.
Oh, why are you back?
Hey.
Yeonseo University is requesting a revision.
Oh, I see.
I've become an old fogey myself.
Gosh.
Hyun–wook.
Yes?
I was too harsh earlier.
I apologize.
Oh, it's okay.
I did nothing to be proud of anyway.
I took your advice...
...and called a few places to promote it...
...which got me two meetings.
Oh, really?
Great work.
Like you said, I kept at it...
...and it worked.
Come on.
Thank you.
Which one did you get a hold of?
In my neighborhood...
...there's a bakery that makes such a delicious tuna sandwich.
But a few months ago...
...a bakery that looks exactly the same opened right beside it.
My gosh.
That's against business ethics.
Yes, that's so inconsiderate.
I wonder if they're fighting.
You wonder? They fought, of course.
The owner of the original bakery...
...went to the new one and settled the situation.
"Hey.
We came up with this tuna sandwich recipe...
...so you guys can't sell it.
In exchange, we won't sell...
...the spicy chicken sandwich, which is your signature item."
That's what he said.
I see. The owner of the original bakery is pretty cool.
So? Are both bakeries doing well now?
You know what's so interesting?
Both bakeries are making the sandwiches much bigger and better...
...so they're always very busy.
There was even a magazine article featuring those two bakeries together.
They've totally hit the jackpot.
Oh, my.
If you don't go early enough...
...everything is sold out.
My gosh, I want to try those sandwiches.
Can you pick them up tomorrow for work?
Okay.
Will there be any left if I go there in the afternoon?
What?
Eureka!
Pardon me? What's the matter?
–Hyun–wook. –Yes?
Thank you. Thank you so much.
–For what? –Thanks.
Oh, Ms. Yoon.
This is Kang Baek–ho.
I have a brilliant idea.
Yes.
Art Fancy will postpone the launch date...
...so that the two eco–friendly diaries can be rolled out at the same time.
Art Fancy's product will be sold at M Bookstore...
...and ours will be sold at Art Fancy's stores.
In short, it'll be a win–win situation for both companies.
The two brands' marketing efforts will create synergy.
Teens love Art Fancy's products...
...so it'll help us promote our private label products.
Then what about the similar illustrations?
Art Fancy has agreed to change their designs.
I see. What prompted them to make such a decision?
It's for M Bookstore, you know.
It's number one in the industry...
...so they want to boost their sales through this.
My gosh, I can finally breathe now.
Great work, both of you.
Mr. Kang.
While you're having your meeting...
...I'll go let Mr. Jang know.
–Sure. –Sure.
Everyone, the meeting is starting.
About this idea Yu–jin came up with...
...I think it's great.
A set that consists of an eco–friendly pencil...
...a pencil holder with flower seeds, and the diary.
Oh, my. It's a genius idea, don't you think?
Yu–jin, where did you find...
...this novel product?
I've actually had it for a long time...
...but I had totally forgotten about it.
Then I suddenly remembered it right before I fell asleep last night.
So I searched my entire room and managed to find it.
Then...
...how about we customize it for each season?
What do you think about using a variety of seeds?
I love that idea!
We're so awesome, don't you think?
My gosh. They say, "Out of crisis comes opportunity."
That saying is really true.
Which "crisis" are you referring to?
Never mind.
Woo–young, please find out how much the seeds will cost us.
Sure.
Mr. Park, you'll work on the unit cost of the pencil, right?
Oh, of course.
Then let's wrap up the meeting here.
You may get back to your desks now.
–Okay. –Okay.
–Good work. –Great job, everyone.
–Thank you. –Thank you.
This is cool.
Oh, Mr. Kang.
What about our budget? How much more do you think we'll need?
We should discuss the details with Mr. Park and finalize everything again.
Okay, got it.
Wait, Mr. Kang.
Isn't that Yu–jin's pen?
This pen? Oh!
Yes, it is hers.
Give it back to her.
Sorry?
His pen wasn't working yesterday.
You can keep using it.
Give it back to her.
I gave it to her as a gift.
Ji–won.
What?
Let's talk.
Oh!
Ji–won.
Mr. Kang was using the pen.
Did you have to quibble over it right then and there?
I'm pretty sure I said this to you the other day.
I don't want other people in the office to know about the things I gave you.
It means that...
...you shouldn't share them with others.
No, when did you say that?
When I gave you the chocolate.
What?
Well, anyway...
...he's just borrowing it.
Gosh, please don't overreact.
Don't fall for Mr. Kang.
What?
What––
My gosh.
What are you talking about?
Don't develop feelings for him.
He has a lot of women around him.
And from now on...
...never let others use what I gave you.
Got it?
Gosh.
What's with him?
He's acting like a lunatic.
My gosh.
He keeps...
...making things up, jumping to his own conclusions, and being delusional.
Seriously!
My gosh!
What the heck!
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
Baek–ho.
You aren't getting along with your team members, right?
How will you sort it out?
Jeez.
How did you know?
I'm incredibly quick–witted.
I've come this far for a reason.
I've been pressuring them to deliver results.
I guess that's why they have complaints about me.
The higher–ups are pressuring me, so I feel rushed to produce results.
But on the one hand...
...knowing that I'm younger than the managers...
...I wonder if I'm being too heavy–handed.
I was promoted quickly too, you know.
When I became a team leader thanks to the deputy manager...
Don't even get me started.
People spread all sorts of weird rumors about me.
Later on, they didn't even care to talk behind my back.
They did it to my face.
Now...
...my team members respect me...
...but anyway, I suffered a lot until things settled down.
It's not easy.
There's only one solution.
Show them that you're their leader, not their boss.
Let them know it's not for your own sake.
You're doing it for everyone's sake.
You need to prove it to them to earn their trust.
That is the first step.
Trust?
Trust is important.
Do you remember?
The reason we broke up.
It was because of your "My way or the highway" attitude.
You weren't even willing to listen to me.
When you think something is right, you just go for it no matter what.
("Three Eyes")
Good evening, and welcome to the global talk show...
..."Three Eyes."
"If I lead would you follow?"
Good question.
Tonight, we'll be discussing the qualifications of a leader.
Let's get started.
("Three Eyes")
Another welcome to our wonderful co–hosts.
Blair and Niddy, welcome back.
–It's nice to see you. –Good to be here again.
–Thank you for inviting us. –Yes.
Deputy Manager Kang Baek–ho...
...was promoted quickly because he's very competent.
But the way he treats his subordinates...
...is quite coercive, I must say.
His higher–ups pressure him a lot...
...but that doesn't mean that he has to do the same to his subordinates.
When he scolds his team members...
...he doesn't even tell them why they're being scolded.
He just goes, "Why didn't you do this?"
The one who's being scolded probably feels...
Right.
..."What did I do wrong? Why is he saying these things?
And why am I being scolded?"
That's probably how they feel.
Actually, I think leaders...
...must ask questions first.
"Why is this missing? Is there a specific reason?"
And if it's something the employee...
...can't take care of on his or her own, the leader should help.
In Korea, most leaders try to take credit for everything.
They want to be in the spotlight.
I feel like they always want validation.
Then how would the two of you describe a good leader?
In India...
...rather than discussing what a good leader should be like...
...such a question...
...is usually given to students...
...so I don't think there's a universally accepted concept.
And I think the definition of good leadership should vary...
...depending on the situation.
Also, I think leadership should always be improving...
–...depending on the situation. –That's a good answer.
When we're asked what a good leader should be like...
...looking back in history...
...some might say "It's General Yi Sun–sin!"
–Or, "I'd say it's Gandhi!" We can't... –Right.
...quite name one person...
...and define what a good leader should be like...
...because everyone is different.
–Exactly. –Hence, there can't be absolute standards.
–Yes. –Also, it's not like...
...there's a formula to follow when you want to become a leader.
–That's not how a leader is made. –Right.
–You just–– –When you work hard...
...an opportunity may suddenly present itself.
When you're good at your job, you can become a leader.
That's right. And in that sense...
...we can say that there are moments when all of us...
...get to flaunt our leadership skills.
And for that reason, we can't think that there are absolute standards...
...for "good leadership" and that we must follow them.
We should ditch that mindset.
Rather, we should look...
...for bad examples around us and think...
..."I shouldn't do those things.
I should find my own leadership style."
–Right. –Exactly.
I hope we can all learn from bad examples...
...and find our own unique leadership styles.
Great work today.
Good night and good luck.
(Good night and good luck)
You can sit.
Mr. Kang.
I heard you took care of the issue with our new product.
Mr. Kang.
Great work.
No, sir. I apologize for causing you concern.
He truly impressed me this time.
Enough is enough. Must they flatter him in front of us?
To tell you the truth, it was someone else's idea.
Well...
What's your name again?
I'm Kang Hyun–wook, sir.
Mr. Kang Hyun–wook, great work.
Thank you, sir.
My gosh.
I was so moved by what Mr. Kang did. I was truly touched.
He gave me all the credit right at that moment.
To be honest...
...I've seen...
...many people who try to take credit for my work...
...but I've never seen a leader like him before.
What is this?
–No! –Hey!
Then how would children...
...describe a leader?
–What does it mean to be a leader? –What does it mean to be a leader?
Now, you kids...
...will select your leader.
Someone who does not pick plants.
Leader Shark?
A shark?
It's cool.
And it's blue.
It's cute.
Someone who gets good grades.
Someone who can make his or her friends laugh.
Tae–yoon.
Why?
He treats his friends...
...with love...
...and he's always considerate.
Who is Tae–yoon?
You!
Oh, right. I almost forgot.
The CEO had been...
...trying to come up with a way to lift everyone's spirits...
...and to make sure every department could bond more.
And we've decided...
...to revive our arm wrestling tournament...
...which was abolished a few years back.
What is this arm wrestling tournament?
They make rivaling departments have a match.
The winning team receives bonus points.
–I see. –Then...
...I wish you all the best of luck.
Shall we applaud together enthusiastically?
It was abolished. I don't know why they're reviving it.
They think we need to do things like that to bond more.
Well, they probably think like that because they're old–fashioned leaders.
–Go for it! –We must win!
(2019 One Dozen Arm Wrestling Tournament)
–You got this. –Start!
(Round 1: The Managers' Match)
–Go for it! –That's it!
–Yes! –Just a little more!
–Hey! –Gosh!
(Won)
I did it!
(Round 2: The Assistant Managers' Match)
Hey, you can do it!
You got this!
We're in trouble!
Gosh!
–Hey! –Knock him down!
–My gosh. –No!
That's it! Lift him!
Mr. Choi from Global Business won!
–Goodness. –Hey.

–Go for it! –You can do it!
(Round 3: The Deputy Managers' Match)

The tension is already high.
All right, get ready!

Oh, my.
–My goodness. –All right.
Okay, get ready!
–My gosh! –Go!

–You got this! –Kang Baek–ho!
–You can do it!
Kang Baek–ho!
I won't give up.
–Keep at it! –Gosh!
–Please... –You can win!
–Please! –My gosh.
–Jeez! –Beef!
–I'll make sure...
–Beef! –Beef!
I must make sure my team can feast on beef!
–My gosh! –Oh, my!
(Won)
Sales and Planning won!
–Mr. Kang is the winner! –Yes!
–Nice! –Yes!
My gosh!
You did well.
Attention, everyone!
Sales and Planning...
...will receive the cash prize of one million won!
(Cash prize one million won)
–My gosh. –Oh, my.
Gosh, too bad.
You rock!
(Team dinner location, near Hongdae)
You were so cool earlier!
Hey.
It's no surprise.
–Hey, seriously. –Really?
I lost, you know.
Thanks to you, we could have our team dinner like this.
–Thank you. –How did you win?
–It's really amazing. –I knew he'd win.
–You were awesome. –You seriously rocked.
–In that condition... –Hey, seriously.
No!
Hey, Kang Baek–ho.
Why did you make that hit list?
You always act all nice and cool.
You shouldn't toy with people's lives like that.
You're a total jerk. Do you know that?
What? "Hit list"?
I read the notes.
Don't act all innocent.
What notes?
This is...
(In, Out)
It's my thank–you list.
My thank–you list.
Then what do those bars mean?
"In" refers to when your heart reached mine.
–"In"? –Yes.
And this refers to when my heart reached yours.
"Out."
–What does that mean? –Jeez.
–What do you mean by that? –You sly weasel.
You can't fool me.
–Give it to me. Hand it over. –Enough.
Let me see.
(In, Out, Park Sang–wook, Yang Sun–young, Han Jin–ju, Jung Woo–young, Kang Hyun– wook)
(Mr. Park got the private label product's unit cost down)
–"Mr. Park... –Don't read it aloud.
...got the private label product's unit cost down.
I thought it'd be impossible.
He's an amazing salesman.
I should learn from him. I'm grateful."
Look, there's one for everyone.
He wrote everything down. Look at these notes.
"Ms. Yang brought gimbap for everyone today.
She must be busy though."
(She's a superwoman)
My gosh.
"She's a superwoman."
–A superwoman. –Goodness!
–"I'm grateful to her." –"I'm grateful to her."
–I want to read mine. –There's one for everyone.
"Whenever I give Mr. Jung any tasks...
...I should remember to double–check."
(I learned the importance of double–checking)
–He learned how important it is. –That's not a compliment.
–Who's next? –What does that mean?
–What about me? –Who else?
–Are there notes about me?
–Oh, here's mine. –Nice.
"Thanks to the story about the two bakeries Hyun–wook told me...
...I could sort out the issue with the new product.
Thank you very much."
–My gosh! –Nice.
–Thank you! –"Ms. Han's reports are always succinct."
–That's right. –Yes.
"She's so reliable.
I'm grateful to her."
–Ms. Han, I think you're the coolest. –My gosh, Mr. Kang.
Hey, there's one about you.
Oh.
"From Ji–won's cool personality...
...I learn a lot about youngsters these days..."
Oh, I'm sorry.
–That was just a personal note. –"Youngsters."
–"I'm grateful to him." –Gosh, I told you not to read it.
I have one too.
Yes, you do.
"Yu–jin gets her job done quietly.
Her pretty smile...
–My gosh. –...brightens up the entire office."
–Yu–jin! –You are pretty.
Why did you write "In" and "Out"...
...and cause the misunderstanding?
Everything he wrote is true.
Most people...
You see...
...I really had no idea...
...that you'd get the wrong idea about it. I truly didn't know.
But...
...I get it.
Ever since I joined Sales and Planning as deputy manager...
there have been many assignments...
–...as well as many issues. –Yes.
Frankly, I felt rushed.
I'm sorry.
I should've moved at your pace...
...but I couldn't.
However, I will walk with all of you...
...at your pace from now on.
I promise you all.
Seriously, you have my word.
But there is something...
...that all of you must remember.
It's the fact...
...that we have an incredibly long way to go.
Of course.
Hence, we should...
...try to take bigger steps.
But instead...
...I'll make sure no one falls behind.
I'll be your guard whom you can trust.
Oh, my.
Once again...
My gosh.
...I'm at your service.
My gosh, likewise!
Let's be a good team.
Let's work well together.
You should apologize to him.
–Do not give up! –Do not give up!
I knew from the get–go that you two would end up getting along fine.
–Can I... –Yes, go ahead.
–Do not give up! –Do not give up!
–Cheers. –Cheers.
Gosh.
Can't we just have dinner together and call it a night?
Why must we go to a different bar for the third round?
I really don't get it.
Then why did you stay?
Yu–jin, where do you live again?
Jeez, why are you talking like we're friends?
Aren't we the same age?
Besides, we aren't at work now.
We were both born in 1993...
...but I entered elementary school a year earlier.
Right. So what?
Gosh, why are you being like this to me?
You really don't know why I'm being like this?
No, I don't.
I have no idea. I really don't!
It's because I like you.
Yes!
–What? –What?
–Well... –Gosh.
I mean...
...I like you.
–Jeez. –I like you...
–...as a co–worker. –Gosh.
And––
No! I don't want to hear it.
Wait.
Hey.
Wait...
Yu–jin!
W–Wait up!
The word that refers to the person who leads a group.
"Leader."
At work, we meet...
...many different types of leaders.
A leader that delivers good results.
A leader who is acknowledged by his or her higher–ups.
And some leaders are highly respected by his colleagues.
There's no single right answer when it comes to what makes a great leader.
However, the leader's values and beliefs...
...are a crucial factor in determining...
...which direction the organization should take.
What about the organization you belong to?
Where is it headed?
(Kim Greem – "Ordinary Days," Ahn Suzie – "Goodbye," Wable – "My Path")
And what about your leader?
What is he or she like?
I saw everything.
–Mr. Kang sexually harassed her. –What?
Those in Internal Affairs are going bonkers.
The Me Too Movement is stirring things up, you know.
You look great.
–Pardon me? –The pretty boys of the sales department!
Come by every day.
–Which one of the two would you date? –Sorry?
It's making me uncomfortable.
How come so many things make you uncomfortable?
You say everything is considered sexual harassment.
–What is not sexual harassment, then? –Gosh, seriously.
Maybe you guys look too easy. Don't you think that's the problem?
Am I too sensitive?
(Are you being respected?)
Do you have any tips...
...for improving leadership skills?
I've been the class president all through middle and high school.
Also, I was the student representative back in college.
I think those roles have helped me...
...garner leadership skills naturally.
If I may share another tip of mine...
...I'd say it's communication.
When you converse with many people and find out what they think...
...you learn that there can be...
...many different opinions about the same issue.
It teaches you how to express your opinion...
...while respecting others'.
I think of it as training...
...and it's how I'm developing my leadership skills.
