Is your co-worker a Geminian?

Gemini Employee Profile (May 21 - June 21)

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 travelling. If 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.

Sagittarius Employee Profile (November 22 - December 21)

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 or 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.
