What’s Your Scope?
By Rajni
Aries employees 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
negotiate 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 responsibility 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 management
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
employees, 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 trustworthiness 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 new skills.
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.
