Career Constellation 10: How to have a good relationship with Capricorn boss?

1, power and rank are his absolutely untouchable red lines.

Capricorn people may not become big bosses, and many will choose to be bureaucrats or business managers in government agencies or state-owned enterprises. However, if the concept of "boss" is extended to include managers of enterprises and all kinds of superior leaders, then Capricorn should be the easiest constellation to become a "boss" among the twelve constellations.

Capricorn people don't want to be just a clerk or a clerk. Whenever possible, they will climb up and become slaves. For them, only by climbing to the top can they get a real sense of security. Capricorn, like its constellation Cancer, longs for security, but they get it in different ways. Cancer tends to hide itself in its shell and avoid contradictions in order to get the protection of family or friends. If no one can protect themselves, they will hide somewhere alone and seek inner stability by escaping. Capricorn people don't do this. They will think that this avoidance is a sign of cowardice. They will not escape, but face difficulties and work hard. Their goal is to have more power and status. With these things, they will feel at ease.

So it is not difficult for you to understand why Capricorn people value their title, identity, power and status so much. For the boss of Capricorn, the chairman is the chairman and the employees are the employees. A hierarchical society with different levels and orderly order is their ideal world.

As his employee, no matter how good your personal relationship with your boss is, don't try to touch his power and rank. Even if you go over the top, you shouldn't act beyond your authority. Capricorn will disown anyone who dares to despise or even challenge the company hierarchy. Do your job well and wait for this "autocratic monarch" to give you a promotion. This is what you should do.

2. Strictly abide by the rules and regulations.

Capricorn people are very disciplined. They not only ask others to behave themselves, but also set an example and take the lead. The typical Capricorn boss has always been a model commuter. They regard self-discipline as the basic element of their success, which is worth learning from other constellations.

However, as model workers, they often go too far. In their company, there are various rules and regulations. These systems are intolerably trivial, and a strict system does not allow its staff to make any mistakes. You can't take risks in his company. Being late, leaving early and being absent from work may be trivial in other places. In the eyes of Capricorn boss, that is a big problem. If you don't obey the rules, he will certainly punish you.

In addition to these obvious rules, Capricorn people also have their own set of hidden rules. Don't misunderstand me. These hidden rules are not those "hidden rules", but some unwritten requirements for employees in the workplace. For example, you must wear formal clothes at work, no chatting during work hours, no topics unrelated to work, no office romance, and no more than ten minutes in the bathroom. Capricorn's boss will not post all these trivial hidden rules on the company wall, but you must try to figure them out and follow them yourself. Unlike Virgo, who is also an earth sign, Virgo also emphasizes details, but Virgo will only use verbal criticism to express dissatisfaction with those unruly employees, but they may not punish employees so severely. They are used to reviewing themselves first, such as whether they speak clearly enough, whether they demonstrate well enough, and so on. They hope that employees can consciously correct their mistakes and not make them again. But Capricorn's boss is not so accommodating. They attach great importance to their authority. Once an employee makes a mistake, he will be punished mercilessly and will not let you go because of your courtship. For them, mistakes are mistakes, and as long as they make mistakes, they will be punished.

There is no overtime here, only work.

You want to ask Capricorn boss for overtime pay? It doesn't matter. Capricorn people are disciplined and principled. Of course, he won't give you overtime pay, but only if it is incorporated into the company's system.

However, the typical Capricorn boss doesn't want this article about overtime pay in the company rules and regulations. In their view, there is no such thing as overtime in this world. This is a typical goal-oriented constellation. As long as there is one thing unfinished, no matter how long it takes, they will finish it, even if they forget to eat and sleep. They will also put forward such strict requirements for their employees. Their belief is: you must finish the work at hand, no matter how long it takes, no matter what the cost, you are not allowed to leave the work until it is finished!

New employees who don't know their temper may go to the boss or the personnel supervisor for theory because they work overtime. In this regard, Capricorn's boss has only one sentence: If there is one in the system, then I can give it to you; If not, I'm sorry, you'd better go back to work honestly. Those employees who are lucky enough to get overtime pay through arguments will also lose the trust and reuse of Capricorn bosses. Capricorn boss will think that this is an unprofessional employee. If you are asked to do more things, you will complain. What else can I do in the future? Once you are labeled as "unprofessional" by him, there is little room for your development in this company.

Therefore, as his employee, if he wants to get along here, he has to work overtime voluntarily. No, it shouldn't be "overtime", but "going to work after work"

4. There is no excuse.

Capricorn people have a strong attachment to their goals, much like people with fixed constellations. However, Capricorn is not a fixed constellation, but a standard constellation. Although the four constellations of the fixed constellation are stubborn, their stubborn things are different from Capricorn: Taurus is stubborn about money, Leo is stubborn about dignity, Scorpio is stubborn about emotion, and Aquarius is stubborn about freedom. Moreover, although people with fixed constellations are stubborn, they only cling to what has been formed and don't like to create new things by themselves. Capricorn people are different. They are stubborn about their goals, and most of them are set by themselves, not ready-made.

People in this constellation have great ambitions hidden under the quiet appearance. No matter where they are now, they all have an ambition to create their own dynasty and are full of absolute confidence in establishing this dynasty. What is even more frightening is that they still have strong willpower, and they must achieve their goals, no matter how much they pay, no matter how long it takes!

For the boss of Capricorn, "success" is necessary, not dispensable. You must succeed, there is no choice but to succeed. They will not give up easily, let alone allow themselves to give up halfway. Such a person who focuses on his own goals will certainly not allow himself or his subordinates to be lazy or have doubts and fears about his own goals. For them, only those who have no excuses are the people they really need.

Therefore, working under such an ambitious and determined Capricorn boss, you must complete any task he gives you to the letter. Even if you can't complete the task for objective reasons, you should show the attitude of "fighting to the end" Although Capricorn's boss is obsessed with his own goals, he is calm-headed and will not blame employees who persist until the last minute because their goals have not been achieved. Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists. They can accept failure, but they will never tolerate deserters who make excuses for failure!

I would rather miss than make mistakes.

Although Capricorn bosses are eager to succeed, they will only focus on what they think is right and have a high success rate. Capricorn people will consider all the possibilities before setting a goal, a bit like Virgo. However, Capricorn doesn't pay attention to all the details like Virgo. They only focus on things related to goals and success or failure.

Capricorn people are very concerned about success. They will not venture into a strange field or fight an uncertain war. At this point, they are not as brave as the boss of Aries to take risks and try. Capricorn boss is relatively conservative. They prefer to engage in some proven traditional fields rather than easily enter emerging industries that have not yet formed a mature profit model. Therefore, most of the industries they are engaged in are traditional industries, rather than high-risk industries such as network and high technology. They also have an instinctive vigilance against stock trading. Even if you buy stocks, you will only buy large-cap stocks and large enterprises that will never go bankrupt.

Therefore, as their subordinates, you should understand the stability and caution of the boss. If you have a good proposal, but it is rejected by him, it is probably not because your idea is not good enough, but because your idea is flawed or too risky. The subordinates of Aries, Gemini, Aquarius and Sagittarius should pay special attention to this. Your idea is avant-garde and trendy, but it may not be to your Capricorn boss's taste.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Yan, a general of Shu, offered Zhuge a plan to leave the meridian valley and surprise Wei. However, Zhuge Liang, who has always been steady, did not adopt this suggestion. Most people in later generations will criticize Zhuge Liang for being too cautious. However, from another perspective, Zhuge Liang is a leader with Capricorn thinking. Although I knew it was seconds, I didn't use it considering the risk.

Obviously, it is almost impossible to persuade your Capricorn boss to take risks. They may develop slowly and even succeed in middle and old age. Many Capricorn people are late bloomers, such as Zhuge Liang. In history, he only mastered the regime of Shu at a very late time. Before him, he actually didn't get much attention from Liu Bei. (This, contrary to what the novel says) However, one step at a time, they are not cautious, but slow and steady, and finally become the big winners in life. This is worth learning as a subordinate.

6. The interests of the team are above everything else.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan was ordered to get rid of by Zhuge Liang. The novel said that this was because "Wei Yan had an anti-bone". However, this is too absolute. The biggest reason why Wei Yan was removed from the list is that Wei Yan is perverse and likes to leave the team and go his own way. Sending troops to Meridian Valley sounds like a clever plan, but it can also be seen that Wei Yan really wants to lead the army alone and make some achievements.

Careful analysis shows that Wei Yan is really depressed. He is not one of the "five tiger generals" in Shu, and his position in Shu is not high. If Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao had already died, it would not be his turn to follow Zhuge Liang. Wei Yan really wants to show himself and make great achievements. This kind of mood is actually very understandable. It's a pity that he wanted to highlight his personality too much, but he got himself killed.

All Capricorn leaders are disgusted with those who are too prominent in personality and put personal interests above team interests. In their view, loyalty and absolute obedience to the team and themselves are the duties that subordinates should have. If you want to stand out and even form a small team, then you will betray me!

Capricorn will always use the hat of "collectivism" and "team first" to fight against dissidents. This is their most skilled move. In fact, behind all this, it is to consolidate one's power and position. So you must understand that in this company, the interests of the team are higher than your personal interests, and the so-called team interests are of course the personal interests of the boss. In this company, you must not engage in small groups, small groups or gangs. Even if Capricorn's boss doesn't say anything, he will make a plan in his mind to get rid of this heterogeneous and these small groups. Capricorn's style of doing things is more subtle. They seem to be silent, but in fact they have made all kinds of preparations. As long as the time comes, they will attack quickly and will not give the enemy any chance!

Therefore, if you don't like Capricorn's boss's centralized statement and his practice of maintaining his rule with "team interests", you'd better leave this company as soon as possible. Otherwise, you should learn to be obedient, do your job well, and don't rush to show yourself, let alone gain more power.

Remember: Capricorn boss's company can't have democracy. Here, it is a small court, here, it is a court.
