Who’s rocking the Lotte Giants, and whether those who want to run the ship aground in a crisis deserve to be accompanied by members.
Opportunists kick in during a crisis. They inflate internal crises and conflicts, communicate them externally, and shake organizational cohesion. Rather than fixing and improving the situation, they focus on inflating the crisis further by hiding behind anonymity or someone else.토토사이트
All the while, they present themselves as having the organization’s best interests at heart. And after the storm has passed, they naturally take on new roles or look out for their own interests, because their intention or interest is not in the smooth sailing of the ship, but in taking more for themselves.

This is a typical behavior of those who want to take advantage of the chaos. These are the same people who promoted the “crisis theory” that appeared as if they had been waiting for Lotte’s June slump, and the same people who appeared when the process of changing the coaching staff became public knowledge.
On the afternoon of the 27th, Lotte announced that it had made changes to its coaching staff to “refresh the team’s atmosphere.” Lotte Futures head coach Lee Jong-woon will take over as first-team head coach, while Park Heung-sik, who previously served as head coach and hitting coach, will focus on being the main hitting coach.

It does not appear that there were no conflicts at all. “It’s true that there was actually a conflict between a veteran coach and the manager,” said an official familiar with Lotte’s situation, “and I understand that Lotte head coach Larry Sutton requested a change of position as the situation continued.”
Another source familiar with Lotte’s situation also confirmed that there was a conflict, saying, “It seems to be true that while the team is struggling and the manager and coaching staff are trying to find a solution, different opinions can be expressed, and it has partly manifested as a conflict.”
However, the official added, “The coach’s ideas and the players’ ideas, the coaching staff’s views and the players’ views, and the coaching staff’s views and the coach’s views can all be different.” “The coach and the co
