Fred Harteis News Articles - Butter Up Your Boss by Sign

Fred Harteis News Articles - Want to gain an edge over your co-workers and get along better with the boss? Hard work may be the foundation for staying in your supervisor's good graces, but you can also figure out what your manager wants most from employees based on his or her astrological sign. Whether you're itching for a raise, working toward a promotion or you just want your chance to shine, the following advice will set you on the path for career success.

Aries (March 20 to April 19)
Aries supervisors like bold workers who display courage and get a job done quickly. Show that you aren't afraid to take the lead, try something new or make the sale no matter what. The Aries boss is great at emergency situations, but not so great at follow-through or day-to-day details. Pick up the detail work and let your actions prove your worth to your Ram supervisor. Gain bonus points by being prepared to pinch-hit for the boss and lead a meeting on short notice.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
The bottom line for the Bull boss is the bottom line. Money and finance take the lead in the Taurus supervisor's priorities, so the more you can contribute to office prosperity, the better. The Taurus boss also loves personal comforts such as a quality desk chair, cushy backrest or morning coffee and sweets. Keep flowers or green plants in the office on a regular basis to convey the serene, prosperous vibe the Taurus supervisor loves.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
To please the Twin supervisor, keep up on new trends in your field and make sure your boss is up-to-date on the latest information as well. Keep your PDA or Rolodex full of names of the right people to contact in any situation. Knowledge and mobility are the keys to Gemini's contentment, so attend networking events, have reliable transportation and be available at a moment's notice to keep the Twin boss happy.

Cancer(June 21 to July 21)
More than any other sign, the Cancer boss sees his or her workers as family. Sure, the office clan may have all the crazy workings of the Soprano family, but cozy holiday parties may make up for office dramas played out during the year. The Cancer supervisor often has trouble keeping the line clear between personal and professional matters. Gain points by listening to his or her concerns about personal issues when necessary, yet keep what you share on the professional level.

Leo (July 22 to Aug. 22)
The Leo boss was born to lead, and (if you're lucky) will do so warmly, generously and creatively. Assist your Leo boss in bringing elements of fun to the office environment, like sports pools, parties or incentive programs. Since the Lion is usually better with face-to-face interaction than with computers, gain points by giving your Leo boss a hand with understanding the latest technologies. Leos like grooming new leaders, as long as they don't upstage Numero Uno.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Be punctual and work hard to score points in the Virgo supervisor's playbook. Your Virgin boss notices missing details such as blank spaces on spreadsheets or documents, so make sure to dot your i's and cross your t's on work projects. You'll be especially valued by the Virgo boss if you spot flaws before they create problems for everyone (but please, no tattling on co-workers!), and if you keep a clean, efficient and orderly workspace.
