The drive for perfectionism and a practical bent of mind marks the Virgo character – qualities which you better get used to when working for a Virgo boss.

The Virgo, whether man or woman, is legendary for their pursuit of perfectionism. There is nothing shoddy or half-hearted about what a Virgo does. A believer in the maxim that what is worth doing is worth doing well, he/she is often exacting and uncompromising in his high standards. If your boss drives everyone nuts checking and rechecking the final presentation before the client meeting or sending back the proof a hundred times till satisfied about the final layout, chances are that he/she is a Virgo.

Virgo's practicality and focus on detail makes for a highly talented manager. They don't mess around with the power struggles and gossip that goes around the office. They focus on not just getting the job done but getting it done seamlessly. Not only do they care about their employees, they are able to balance this concern with the wider picture.

However, Virgo bosses are terrible worriers with a tendency to develop stress-related illnesses like ulcers. ...
... They often put themselves in positions of responsibility but find the pressure overwhelming. They think they can manage it all and take on more than they can chew, only realizing their mistake a little too late—that's when they start getting upset, wondering why no one is helping them.

Virgo bosses are completely honest and not capable of deceit—they will let you know exactly how they feel. The ideal work project for a Virgo is setting up a new office. They can organize and motivate a new team and get the order and structure in place. Then they would step aside and let someone else take on the role of 'manager'. They are much happier managing the hands-on part of a project rather than becoming the company figurehead.

What softens and more than redeems a Virgo’s strict perfectionist nature is their innate desire to help others. So while a Virgo boss may have asked for some corrections in your projects for the nth time, chances are that he/she will send you enough research material or even stay back after the others have left to offer a helping hand. This tendency to help need not be restricted to professional matters—if you happen to have missed the pool car, your Virgo boss may surprise you with an offer of a lift back home or even let you use his/her personal scanner in case you need some documents urgently and the office copier is out of action. If working for a Virgo boss for a length of time, you will have several opportunities of discovering their innate helpful natures.

If you want to be noticed by your Virgo boss, try to come up with ideas that are practical and aimed at a tangible result. The perfectionist nature of a Virgo is not so much inspired by idealistic notions of beauty and form as by a realistic sense of the importance of a job getting done in the right way. Arguments about your instinct for a plan’s success or the value of experimental idea are unlikely to cut much ice with a Virgo boss unless you can show him/her the practical and material advantages that can be reaped by following your idea.
