CHAPTER 02



               THREE AWESOME                                                                           ADMINUNIVERSE™



              DRAGONS







               Dragons are huge, dominating, fictitious creatures. Medieval writers had vivid imaginations for big,  scary
               things. For many people, work is like a dragon. It can be overwhelming and certainly dominates  well over
               half of our waking hours. Sometimes the people we work with can be pretty “fiery” creatures  to deal with,
               too. In dragon-fighting, the important thing to remember is that it’s a matter of the mind.
               Take care of your attitude today … it is your primary weapon against office dragons!

               There are many dragon species at work. Three of the most common perceived species are leaders, col-
               leagues, and self. Yes, you can be a dragon to yourself. You will find out how at the end of this section.


                            ACTIVITY

                            In thinking about these three species of dragons, answer the questions below.


                            Leaders
                            What are some of the things leaders do that make them appear to be dragons?












                            Colleagues
                            What are some of the things colleagues do that make them appear to be dragons?












                            Yourself
                            What are some of the dragon-like things you do to yourself?
