It's time to set goals and deadlines. If you do not, projects will never get off the ground. You are a leader who is surrounded by drones. While your colleagues are capable of tremendous hard work, they require direction. Go ahead and hold a meeting and delegate jobs. It doesn't matter if you lack the authority to do so. The important thing is to set a course for people to follow, or valuable time will be wasted. This is your chance to move up the ladder of success.

You judge your own success by tangible results. Although facts and figures are impressive, they don't take into account the emotional assets you bring to the table. Your calm attitude keeps more anxious colleagues from falling apart. Not only that, but everyone can depend on you to get the job done, regardless of the circumstances. These may not seem like impressive attributes, but they are very precious to the people around you. Stop selling yourself short; your worth knows no bounds.

Your tendency to focus on people's best qualities makes you a popular figure. Even the shy members of the group feel outgoing in your presence. That's because you value their contributions and make them feel like an integral part of the team. If you've been thinking about switching jobs, keep your plans under wraps. You don't want your boss getting wind of this search. You do owe it to yourself to find a steady position that pays well and offers plenty of benefits.

Lots of work gets done under your leadership. Beware of driving your team too hard. Encourage everyone to take occasional breaks and treat the gang to lunch after a particularly productive day. By showing your appreciation, you'll win the loyalty of everyone who has the privilege of working for you. Someone who has been struggling with family difficulties will ask for time off. Although it's inconvenient, you should grant this request. Imposing the rules in extraordinary circumstances will just create resentment.

Your word is your bond. When you make a promise, you move heaven and earth to keep it. That's why you get so angry when people break their vows to you. Take note of this experience and file it away for a future day. There will come a time when this inconsiderate person wants your help. At that point, you need to issue a refusal. You simply can't waste time on people who always take and never give anything in return.

Someone will present a new idea. It's worth your time to try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you discover this theory saves time, money and aggravation. You're not the only inventive person in the organisation. Be sure to praise this bright worker for their contribution. As a general rule, you're sparing with praise. Going out of your way to highlight someone else's accomplishment will cause your popularity to rise. If you're up to your elbows in work, ask for help.

Dealing with the public gives you lots of pleasure. You enjoy trying to figure out what people really need. Quite often, their expressed demands are really smokescreens for deeper desires. You're an expert at divining their true meaning. Don't be surprised when a client or customer makes some flirtatious remarks. You're incredibly attractive when offering assistance. If you're single, arrange to meet for coffee when you get off work. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Have fun.

Try not to panic if you make a small mistake. Admit the error of your ways and bring the problem to your boss's attention. The sooner you are able to correct it, the faster you will be able to move on to the next phase. By establishing yourself as an honest worker, you will become the most valued member of the team. Your superiors know you won't sweep problems under the rug to avoid trouble. That level of trustworthiness is invaluable.

Everybody's plans for the weekend sound boring. You're determined to have a wild time, even if it means courting danger. Get together with the more rebellious members of your crowd. You'll be sure to stir up some trouble together. A placid relative shakes their head with disbelief at your behaviour. They just don't understand your need for excitement; you don't feel alive unless you're living on the edge. Settling down to a predictable life makes you shudder with horror.

You've got a great sense of timing. Take this opportunity to present a pressing problem to your boss. By putting your heads together, you can find an effective resolution. Some may think you are wrong to draw attention to this matter. You know from experience that ignoring these situations is a mistake. It's better to cope with bad behaviour when it first arises. That way, nobody can accuse you of being inconsistent. There's no reason you have to tolerate unprofessional antics.

A friend will tell you about a stressful situation. Instead of offering practical advice, just listen in a sympathetic manner. Ask plenty of questions and affirm their reactions. Some people just need a sounding board as a means to work through their problems. This seems a little strange for an action oriented character like you. You will have an edifying experience if you can hold yourself back from jumping into action. Sometimes being receptive is the best gift you can give to somebody else.

You have no interest in competing. In fact, you prefer to work behind the scenes, where your efforts won't draw attention. Colleagues can't understand your attitude, because they're all intent on getting ahead. What they don't realise is how much you prize a quiet, calm atmosphere. You experienced enough drama while you were growing up. Now you're older and have more control over your life, it's only natural you want peace. Follow your instincts; they serve you well.
