Remove all sharp objects on top of your desk. Have a balance of yin and yang (light and dark colors). It would be beneficial to place a globe/round piece of crystal on your work desk (preferably amethyst or rose quartz) to ensure that everything goes on smoothly at work. Have a figurine of a rooster on your table to avoid gossips and office politics

If possible try to place a plant or aquarium in the east, north or southeast corner to activate your career luck. Do not use plants with sharp thorns or leafs. To be ahead at work and get ahead in your industry, place a dragon on the right hand of the desk facing the window.

The furniture in your office should be arranged to promote the flow of chi. Do not obstruct the entrance. The main door should be spacious and unrestricted.
