As a Boss, How Would You Be Buttered Up

Sun / Leo

The Leo Boss (July 22 to August 22)
Leos are born to lead and thrive on warmth, generosity, and creativity. Assist your Leo boss in bringing fun into the office, like sports pools, parties, or incentive programs. They are usually better with face-to-face interaction and may need help with understanding the latest technologies, so gain points by lending them a helping hand. Leos love grooming new leaders, as long as they don't upstage Numero Uno.

As a Boss, How Would You Be Buttered Up

Sun / Virgo

The Virgo Boss (August 23 to September 22)
Be punctual and work hard to score points with your Virgo supervisor. Your Virgin boss notices details such as blank spaces on spreadsheets or documents, so ensure that you dot your i's and cross your t's on your work projects. You'll be especially valued by the Virgo boss if you spot flaws before they create problems for everyone, and if you keep a clean, efficient, and well-organized workspace.

The LEO Boss

"Now don't interrupt me,
I'm going to tell you all your faults
It puzzled her very much at first
But after watching it a minute or two
She made it out to be a grin.

Working under a Leo boss for more than a year? Impressive. You must possess exceptional listening skills.

Your Leo boss might view corporate taxes, government regulations, and union rules as a personal conspiracy against their grandeur. Nevertheless, they effortlessly navigate through these nuisances. Lions are skilled organizers and excel at delegating authority. When faced with such bothersome situations, they might turn to you with flourish, dictating a few resounding statements on the matter, and then, with a regal wave of their hand and a dazzling smile, vaguely proclaim, "Take it from here." They'll probably add that they expect the report on their desk promptly. "No rush," they'll say. "Just make sure it's there before noon tomorrow." Details are not their forte. They prefer broad strokes, leaving you to fret over trivialities like figures and statistics.

A prime example of a Leo boss is one I know who summoned his secretary to dictate a response he had prepared for a crucial client. "Have you decided what to say?" asked the unsuspecting girl, pencil poised, ready to transcribe his words. "Yes, indeed," beamed her Leo employer. "Tell them 'maybe.' Got it? 'Maybe.' You can fill in the rest." With those masterful instructions, he cheerfully went off to lunch, entertained several acquaintances at an upscale bistro, played a few rounds of golf, and returned to the office around five o'clock, inquiring if the letter was ready. It was. (The secretary happened to be a Virgo.) After reading it with solemn approval, the Leo boss reached for the phone and recited the contents of the letter to a colleague. His words wafted through the office door, reaching the long-suffering secretary. "What do you think?" he asked into the receiver. "I believe I did an exceptional job capturing the essence of the situation and making our stance clear, don't you? I've always had a talent for expressing myself. My wife often suggests I should pursue a career in writing," he modestly concluded.

While this may be an extreme case, you'll detect traces of such behavior if you have a typical Leo boss. Provide them with your original ideas, and they'll adore you for it. August-born executives tend to value employees who infuse creativity into the company. However, prepare to witness them grinning like a Cheshire Cat the next day as they proceed to organize the plan you presented the previous night, casually remarking, "It's one of the best ideas I've ever had." They genuinely believe they thought of it first. Truly. You ignited their imagination, which is why you hold such value. But in their mind, it was their idea. Remember that.

Occasionally, your Leo boss may appear slightly ungrateful. They might casually toss a massive stack of letters on your desk, unable or unwilling to peruse them themselves. Then, the following morning, when you're bleary-eyed from working late into the night to complete the additional tasks they assigned, they'll shake their majestic mane disapprovingly and mutter a comment about the disarray of your workspace as they saunter to their plush sanctuary. Oh, yes, they're likely to have a luxurious private office. It could be adorned with soft lighting, music, flowers, a plush sofa, and a cherry-wood desk. Even if the budget is modest, you'll seldom find them surrounded by crates and bare windows. The walls may feature exquisite prints of renowned artwork or photographs of themselves alongside influential dignitaries. Any awards or certificates they've earned will be elegantly framed and prominently displayed.

I recall another Leo boss who had an assistant working overtime every night and all day on weekends for three months to execute a special promotion. Amidst managing the move of filing cabinets, packing large merchandise boxes, and changing the water cooler bottles every other day, she also found time to complete her boss's Christmas shopping and pick up his dry cleaning once a week. Then, one bright sunny morning, she overheard him lavishing praise on her to a vice president of the company. "Hester is an absolute gem," he declared. "I don't know what I'd do without her. This girl is truly remarkable. Although, I suppose she can be a tad lazy, but you can't expect perfection from one person."

Did Hester quit on the spot? Absolutely not. Why would she allow such a trivial matter to bother her? She's a shrewd individual who understands that anyone's efforts pale in comparison to her boss's astounding vitality (in between his daily beauty naps on the velvet chaise lounge in his private office). Why would she abandon a boss who never fails to admire her latest attire? She wouldn't dream of resigning from a position where her boss presented her with a topaz bracelet on her birthday and a set of exquisite Waterford crystal for her future home. He even empathetically recognized that the color of her typewriter agitated her and graciously painted it a bright yellow, although he was a touch careless, resulting in drips of paint on the keys. The paint lingered on her fingers for weeks, but she didn't mind. After all, it was a pleasure to wash her hands frequently with the scented soap he stocked in the restroom.

Her Leo boss assisted her father in finding a new job, covered her mother's hospital bill, and generously obliged her request to employ her cousin in the mailroom. Moreover, she takes pride in his professional reputation. He received two awards last year, he's dictating a book about his life with her as the scribe, and he graces the top of Esquire's list of best-dressed men. He deeply adores his wife, cherishes his children, and has significantly increased the company's profits despite taking a few daring risks. He rarely notices if she takes an extended lunch break. Last week, he helped her secure a larger apartment at a lower rent and scolded her fianc? for not treating her well. Quit? What on earth do you mean, quit?

If you're a man working for a Leo executive, you'll face unique challenges. Be original, daring, creative, and hardworking. But bear in mind that your boss will always be more original, daring, creative, and hardworking than you?in their eyes. Say "Yes" to most of their brainstorms (and they'll have quite a few in a week). If you must say "No," preface it with a hefty compliment and conclude with another one. Sandwiched between such adulation, they might accept it. Exercise tact and proceed cautiously.

Even the gentler, less flamboyant Leo executives possess an innate desire to radiate warmth and oodles of charming charisma. When your leonine boss receives the respect they demand and the credit they rightfully deserve, they'll make you glow with their praises for a job well done. They won't skimp on compliments. Their disapproval, too, will be evident. The lion loathes office intrigues. They detest being kept in the dark. They must know everything transpiring within the company. Don't be dismayed if your Leo boss displays an interest in your personal affairs or offers unsolicited advice on managing your personal life. It's truly a seal of royal approval, indicating that they care enough to safeguard you with their superior wisdom.

Leo bosses possess a keen insight into human nature. They grasp the meaning behind your words with uncanny accuracy and perceive the unspoken messages you leave hanging in the air. Be cautious of what you leave unspoken. Cancerians are not true loners; they surround themselves with people. Solitude can be disconcerting to most lions, except those who have sought it due to profound early wounds. Even then, they experience deep dissatisfaction in isolation, even if they're not consciously aware of it.

Working for a Leo boss can be an enriching experience. You'll learn more from them in a month than you would from other bosses in a year. The most crucial lesson they teach is consideration. A Leo boss drives a hard bargain but remains fair in their shrewdness. Playing a win-or-lose game with influential figures holding the blue chips is one thing. Exploiting the innocent is entirely different.

Deep down, they are kind and decent individuals, moved by both cruelty and misfortune. Courtesy and compassion are not archaic concepts to them; they form the core of their code of conduct. If your intentions are genuine, your motives pure, and your heart sincere, they will support you through misguided opinions and personal struggles.

The lion waits patiently and tenaciously, their eyes ever watchful. Their mind remains sharp and practical, while their heart weaves dreams as enchanting as moonlight. These dreams can transport them on glamorous and exhilarating journeys worldwide or inspire them to establish towering industries that channel excess profits toward scientific research benefiting humanity. However, every dream is built upon a solid foundation. Their poetry is beautiful, yet it always retains coherence.

As for that joke you've been itching to share, save it for lunch, not during working hours. If it revolves around ordinary individuals and possesses a clever point, they'll laugh. Then you'll catch a glimpse of their true nature. Observe their eyes, and you'll witness that their laughter serves as a courageous and brilliant response to internal fears and hurts, a response only the patient crab with a tender heart and resilient shell would dare offer.

The VIRGO Boss

"We can talk," said the Tiger-lily:
"when there's anybody worth talking to.'

The Virgo boss may appear troubled and discontented, longing for genuine connection and understanding. They are not naturally suited for high-powered executive roles that demand forceful leadership, often regretting the decision to take on more than they can handle. While there are exceptions based on individual planetary positions, the majority of Virgos excel as the supportive force behind the scenes, skillfully executing the ideas of others. They find fulfillment as the chairman of the board, rather than as the president of a large corporation burdened with employee issues and the need for a charismatic public image. In fact, it's rare to encounter a Virgo in such prominent positions.

Virgos possess a unique ability to see the finer details, but they may miss the bigger picture, which makes them invaluable as the guiding hand behind the scenes. While others paint with broad strokes, Virgos meticulously refine and perfect the intricate details, turning wild schemes with countless loose ends into successful ventures. However, they are not comfortable in public-facing roles where their meticulous magic is exposed, and their genuine intentions are misunderstood as double-talk and deception.

Virgos possess an unwavering commitment to honesty and accuracy, which can clash with the demands of an executive position. While others may smile and say "yes" when they mean "no" or vice versa, Virgos call a spade a spade, leaving them bewildered when people accuse them of being sly or hypocritical. Unfortunately, their aversion to hypocrisy becomes a stumbling block when placed in positions that require them to compromise their integrity. The Virgo, in self-defense, may resort to deception, which is not their natural talent, further fueling accusations of duplicity. It's a pity because Virgos despise hypocrisy. However, this is the price they pay for occupying a role that doesn't align with their true nature. Endless lunches with clients, social obligations, and political maneuvering are draining for a Virgo, pushing them closer to mental exhaustion.

Deep down, the Virgo boss recognizes that their true strength lies in executing the internal machinery of an organization, rather than taking center stage. They would rather remain focused on their work, diligently charting potential risks and ensuring the absence of errors. In smaller companies with fewer employees, a Virgo boss can thrive as the captain of the ship, safeguarding against unforeseen obstacles. However, the intricate workings of big businesses and the demands of a typical executive position do not harmonize well with the Virgo's nature, with few exceptions. Virgos with specific astrological placements, such as a Cancer ascendant and a Capricorn Moon, can excel in large organizations and scientific research groups, leveraging their meticulousness and practicality.

Your eagle-eyed Virgo boss won't overlook sloppy mistakes or tolerate office flirtations and careless habits. To earn their respect, maintain a tidy desk, dress modestly, and listen attentively to their instructions. Criticism will be abundant, but the Virgo boss is fair-hearted and generous to those who meet their high standards. They may not shower you with extravagant gifts, but they will compensate you fairly and never cheat you. It's impossible to deceive them, as they have an uncanny ability to accurately assess your worth. Accept their critical nature gracefully, for it may even mold you into a better professional.

Honesty is essential when dealing with a Virgo boss. Lying is futile, as they see through falsehoods effortlessly. Despite their tendency to nitpick, a Virgo's bark is often worse than their bite. They are gentle souls, often plagued by loneliness and hidden dreams. They struggle to make friends easily and deeply appreciate encouragement and understanding. Disregard the label of stinginess others may attach to them, and instead seek their support during times of genuine trouble to witness their true compassion.

While others may dismiss them as troubled and discontented, a Virgo boss holds a secret dream within, longing for genuine connection and understanding. Look past their surface demeanor, and you may be surprised to find a kind-hearted and compassionate soul.
