What kind of employee u r?
--- > Aries Employee Profile > ================== > Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters. > They'll usually want to be out in the field at a variety of different work > sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very long behind a > desk in a 9 to 5 schedule. > The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will > typically be restless, angry, and careless with details. > No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a routine job. Money > in fact isn't why they are working at all. > They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their > competitive tendencies-- but even more importantly, they'll want challenging > new projects. They typically like to have a sense of responsibility and need > to feel needed. In return, they'll give their all and provide detailed, > consistent work. They will literally work themselves to exhaustion to prove > themselves. > If you want to keep your Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll want > to give them the opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead > less experienced workers.
> Taurus Employee Profile
> =================== > Taureans make some of the best employees. They are loyal, hardworking, and > no-nonsense. They work methodically and follow projects through until they > are complete. Some may appear to work a little too slowly-usually because > they are so careful-but they will always finish what they start. They thrive > on structure, schedules, and routine. You'll find them doing the same exact > thing at the same time every day. > Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleable workers that they often > appear to be. If they have to work in a chaotic environment, they won't be > happy and will be prone to child-like temper tantrums and stubbornness. They > might react similarly if they have to work around ignorant people or at a > job where there is no obvious potential for advancement. > Taureans will be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder for them to climb. > Even in the worst situations, they will find a way to advance slowly, > winning over the most difficult people who may stand in their way of > progress. > Taurus employees will only take so much patiently and happily before they > feel they are being taken advantage of. They will gladly accept orders and > do whatever dirty work needs to get done, but they expect rewards. They want > material gain, salary increases, and the potential for more power. > To make your Taurus employees happy, be sure to give them projects through > which they will see tangible results-hopefully something that will allow > them to express their unique creativity in addition to their practical side. > They don't want to feel mired in details for long periods of time. > Make sure to schedule regular performance and salary reviews. > This show of respect should keep them loyal to the company.
> Gemini Employee Profile
> =================== > Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating on one thing for long > periods of time. They have quick-moving minds and love to talk and > communicate their ideas with others. > They thrive on social interaction -- even if their jobs don't particularly > support it. You'll be able to find them wandering from desk to desk > gossiping about all the sordid news in the office. They can be powerful > persuaders in their speech and make ideal salespeople and mediators. They > love to nego- tiate and can work out the best Deal for everyone involved. > When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep their wandering mind > focused and actually be quite productive. > When they are bored, bogged down with mundane detail- work, or forced to > work with people who they consider droll, they can become mean-spirited and > gossipy. Their moods can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well as their > productivity. > It is really against their nature to be forced into an average workday > schedule and environment. They are happier traveling. > lf they are in an office they will need constant new stimulation. > Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as a way to escape the > limitations of their jobs. This can motivate them to put extra effort into > their job. If you work with a Gemini, try to avoid getting into any debates > with them - they will surely win and it could end in some hard feelings on > your part. They will need an accepting environment-one that supports their > need for multi-tasking.
> Cancer Employee Profile > ==================== > The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed their ego -- their job is just a > job and a means to get paid. They work steadily and are usually very > reliable. You'll be able to depend on them to show up on time and do what is > necessary. They won't get involved in power struggles or get upset when > someone advances before them. They are able to accept the situation because > they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Their motivation is security. > > They'll want more money the longer they've stayed at a job. > They don't want to have to worry about how they'll make ends meet tomorrow > so they'll need a stable position without much risk. Cancerian workers can > slip into some dark moods on occasion. > During these periods productivity tends to drop-as well as everyone else's > in the office. Their moods can be so strong everyone becomes affected. To > avoid the frequency of these occurrences, managers and co-workers should try > to make the work environment as homey as possible-keep it well heated, cozy, > and friendly. Don't press them to reveal their true inner thoughts-their > tendency is to be secretive and protective, and they could see prying as an > attempt to disturb their security.
> Leo Employee Profile > ================= > Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the office. > Even if they can't lead, they'll look for every opportunity to increase > their own status -- and if someone else seems ahead of them, look out. They > will make it clear that they aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They > want advancement so much that they'll take on more respon- sibility and > carry a heavier load than anyone else does in the office. And they are > self-promoters. It is likely that they are telling everyone in the office > what a great job they are doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice. > They know they are superior and want everyone to know it as well. This > arrogance can sometimes cause problems when working with management. But > typically, they are just hard workers out to demonstrate just how good they > really are. > They thrive in sales positions - they can promote a product or company just > as well as they promote themselves. > Their strength and arrogance isn't just show either. In a crisis situation, > Leos really demonstrate their true courage. > Leos want to lead and will be pushing for more responsibility and rewards. > They are happy to train and mentor new co- workers as they enjoy giving > advice and being in positions of authority. > If you are trying to manage a Leo employee, you'll need to give them plenty > of praise, responsibility, and independence. > They will certainly want to help lighten your load of manage- ment > responsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing you know they could be > taking over your job.
> Virgo Employee Profile > ================== > In the right situations Virgos love to work. They make ideal emloyees, > happily working late into the night to make sure everything is perfect and > in order. If you are looking for an employee who doesn't mind starting from > rock bottom in the most entry-level position at the company, hire a Virgo. > They'll have no complaints about the position being beneath them. They are > CONTENT with basic, honest hard work. > Their contentment isn't always apparent, however. > They love to complain and worry. They are quick to criticize the way things > are done around the office and are the first ones to grumble disapprovingly > at what they consider to be extravagance or laziness. They are blunt and > honest and don't mince words over what they feel just isn't right. > Usually, this will be brought on by someone doing a half- baked job or not > being considerate of other co-workers. > You'll want to constantly reassure them, but this will do little to quell > their anxieties. They actually enjoy worrying, and there is little you can > do about it. Just give them a detail - oriented project and let them work > alone on it. You won't have to supervise a Virgo worker. They'll check all > the facts before getting started and catch their own errors when they are > done. > To keep a Virgo employee happy, you should also make sure their environment > is orderly and calm. You should also provide small gestures of appreciation. > They don't need extravagance, just let them know you appreciate them in > small ways that won't embarrass them. They will probably just shrug their > shoulders and say, "It's no big deal." But deep down inside they need these > little reassurances.
> Libra Employee Profile > ================== > Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers with sensitive natures. > Managers and co-workers sometimes find them difficult to get a handle on. > They pick up the energy of the office and are unable to prevent it from > affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, and discordant vibrations will > put them off so much that they will have difficulty fulfilling their > obligations at work. > One day they may seem like the most bright, hardworking, ambitious employee > around. The next day they might be down, irritated, and unable to produce. > Co-workers shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark mood. > It really won't last, as a happy state of mind can come over them just as > quickly. When Libra employees are in a balanced frame of mind, they can be a > powerful presence at work-they have a way of gracing everything they touch. > Underneath that mess of moods, they really are basically happy and stable > people. They are capable of profound logical thought and evaluate all sides > of a situation before acting. They are one of the most intelligent Signs > around. > They are expert researchers and mediators. And their sensitivity to their > environment makes them naturals at keeping things looking great. They will > easily help others resolve conflicts and can act as a go-between with > workers and management so that everyone ends up happy. > If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling, give them the respect they > are due and put them in a position where they can project their great charm > and diplomacy. They won't be CONTENT to take orders for very long, either- > make sure they are given increased responsibility .
> Scorpio Employee Profile > ==================== > Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are > self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They > keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility > for their actions and their situation. > They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone > else to do the same. Those who don't, co- workers and managers- will have to > endure the Scorpio wrath. > They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with > any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect > retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down. > If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word > and don't break any promises-Scorpio is keeping track and building up some > heavy resentments against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it > until too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to know. > Scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are > treated. When they get what they want, they will be very accepting. > If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio co-worker, be sure to > treat them respectfully and act professionally. > Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their awesome > self-confidence and courage.
> Sagittarius Employee Profile > ====================== > The Sagittarian employee is head strong, cheerful, and willing to help. They > exude self-confidence and take on tasks like there's no tomorrow. They are > willing to tackle even the toughest of projects as long as it is challenging > and gets them out of the routine. Lucky for them, their shining > personalities and honest enthusiasm seem like a bright spot in the office- > otherwise co-workers might begin to build animosity towards someone so > arrogant and extravagant. > Their tendency to exaggerate and take on more then they can handle usually > results in missed deadlines and dropping the ball-not because they are lazy > of procrastinate, but because their enthusiasm just gets the better of them > sometimes. > Don't let their nonchalance fool you-they really do care about what they are > doing. They just have an easy-going attitude that allows them to keep on > smiling even when they just messed up big time. > Just because they are flexible and easy-going doesn't mean they won't tell > you exactly how they feel-what is working for them and what isn't. And they > won't just blindly take orders - they need to understand the method and > reason behind the process. > If you are trying to motivate your Sagittarian employee, be sure to feed > them plenty of challenging new projects and hint that some business trips > might be on the horizon once deadlines are met. > And whatever you do, try not to question their intentions- it is the > quickest way to make them upset. They aren't capable of deceit .
> Capricorn Employee Profile > ====================== > A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy worker. > They need plenty of projects and responsibility. There is no sadder sight > than a Capricorn worker without a sense of responsibility. They need to be > needed. They are covertly ambitious - usually not flashy or obvious about > it-but you will usually know that they are serious and determined about > advancing themselves. > They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they can be > self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can wear down even the > toughest customers. Their persistence is incredible. Once they set their > sights on a goal, they work away at it until the bitter end-whether the goal > be that hard sell or the new hardware release. > Capricorns don't work for free, however. They expect to be paid handsomely > and be given more and more responsibility. > They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end, and they see the work > environment as their primary vehicle. > They won't go in for the typical office gossip and politics, though. > They want to get down to business at work and see it as no place for fooling > around. > With a strong sense of duty and respect towards their superiors, it is rare > they will join in on boss-bashing or knocking the system. > They can get frustrated, however, with blue sky management schemes that lack > common sense, and they will interject their dry sense of humor in the most > critical ways. > If they want change, they will be unyielding. If all their effort leads to > naught the result will be deep moods of darkness and depression with a sense > of hopelessness. > Keep your Capricorn employee happy by paying them fairly and giving them > plenty of hard work. Arrange for a path of advancement within your > organization for them. If you don't, you might find them looking for other > opportunities.
> Aquarius Employee Profile > ===================== > The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the office. > Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they deserve if an > Aquarian has anything to do with it. They'll try to help everyone see the > good side of a bad situation if it's the last thing that they do. They are > so smart-they can't help but hold management in disdain if they feel that > they are being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are overly > ambitious and think they could be doing a better job- just that they think > people in power should know better. > Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and will want to try > their hand at a variety of jobs in the workplace. > Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously. > They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic. > Their bright, off-beat intelligence, and trustworthi- ness will typically > gain them many friends-in and out of work. > Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete thinking and > sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart Aquarius co-worker happy by > giving them plenty of opportunity to learn news kills. > Raises are less important to them. No amount of money will make it worth > their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't let them get too bored or > they will simply find another job as easily as they found this one-their > genius is easy to spot.
> Pisces Employee Profile > =================== > The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working, if unconventional, > worker. In the right position, they are able to keep their daydreams in > check and buckle down on the detail work-giving their all to the boss and > corporation whom they feel are worthy of devotion. > On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery like that of an > ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as though their cubicle were a > prison cell as they daydream of their own business or next vacation. > Unhappy Pisces workers usually won't stick around too long. > Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another looking for that ideal > environment to which they will be able to commit and feel a sense of > purpose. And if things are going in a bad direction at the office, Pisces > will be the first to sense it. > They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the problem reaches a head. > Pisces are often misunderstood by their co-workers. > Typically timid and introspective, they usually keep their true nature > hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the corporte culture. > What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick around but also excel? > Try compliments. And show them how their work impacts the entire > organization. > They need to know that what they are doing is worth something on a grander > scale. Acceptance of their unconventional organization and planning will be > necessary. > Just because their sales report isn't in the typical format doesn't mean it > is any less effective. Keep their environment bright and upbeat; and an > after-work cocktail wouldn't hurt.
