It’s not always glamorous, but it’s incredibly important! Impress your bosses by creating opportunities to inject adventure and fun into an otherwise mundane workday, or plan a social event after hours to boost the team’s spirits. Building and maintaining relationships is a huge part of a successful career, and your boss will definitely will take notice of your efforts.
Leo
While your love of the spotlight can sometimes earn you a reputation as a diva, that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Those public speaking skills come in handy when you take on more leadership in the workplace. You’re very charismatic, and people naturally want to follow where you go. Start small by volunteering to chair committees you care about and things will progress quickly. Once the VIPs start to notice others following your stellar example, they’ll see you in a new, more authoritative light.
Virgo
If there’s one thing Virgo is known for in workplaces everywhere, it’s their mastery of details. We know you’re the best around when it comes to operations, but show your boss that you support the company’s larger mission too. If it’s appropriate, take them out to lunch to discuss your long-term vision for your role, collective goals for the department, and even some philanthropy projects inspired by what the organization stands for. They’ll love your dedication to a good cause.
Libra
You’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love, which can be at odds with workplaces that emphasize competition over camaraderie. Even if you feel like hiding your social sensitivity, you’ll impress your boss the most by being an example of empathy for your co-workers. Show a little compassion no matter what’s going on around you and trust that everyone is fighting a difficult battle behind the scenes. Thanks to you, your office will be a kinder, gentler place.
Scorpio
Your sign is known for stealth, and at work, you’re usually behind the scenes ensuring that your team’s final product is flawless. However, it’s important to be visible and to make sure your hard work is being acknowledged. Impress your boss with your willingness to go first in new initiatives and to tackle new challenges. You might even want to try engaging in a little healthy workplace competition with co-workers who are up for it! When you win, so does the entire team.
Sagittarius
You’re usually the one in the boardroom (or the library) proposing lofty ideas that sound amazing in theory but might not be so practical in practice. Your boss will swoon when you give those designs a little more structure, taking a more grounded and hands-on approach. What financial and organizational foundation is required for your imaginative theories to take flight? Don’t be afraid to ask your co-workers if you can shadow them as you put together your new approach. Get your hands dirty!
Capricorn
As a Capricorn, you’re the zodiac’s CEO. The workplace is your comfort zone, and you climb the ladder with impressive upward mobility. How do you do it? Your trick isn’t actually a trick at all—it’s listening! Win your boss over by striking up a conversation with them and paying attention to how they respond. You can start with small talk, then let your well-known powers of persuasion lead the way. Don’t be afraid to share your story, especially as it relates to your company’s mission statement!
Aquarius
Aquarius isn’t known for being warm and fuzzy. You keep a hyper-professional demeanor that ensures you’re detached from any workplace drama, but also somewhat distant from your team at times. Your boss will light up when you express your care for everyone in the office. Bring in plants, decorate your cubicle, and make the space glow. Talk to the people around you about what bigger legacy you’re creating together. Build something that will outlast you, and you’ll be indispensable.
Pisces
“Work hard, play hard” is your work mantra. It’s been making bosses fall head-over-heels for you since the start of your career. As the zodiac’s artist, you understand the value of a midday brainstorming session or yoga break. Keep the creative vibe going by adorning your office with art that represents something you love, music that keeps the mood up, and poetry that inspires you to keep working even during tight deadlines. Your coworkers will be jealous of your Pinterest-worthy space!
