And no, dirty minds, I don't necessarily mean in the bedroom. But in every relationship is there one partner who is the more dominant personality who tends to call the shots? Or is that a silly oversimplification?
And can a person who tends to be dominant in a relationship be a generally submissive person in life? Or is how we relate to others the same whether we are on a date or in the office?

Yup.
As for the other questions there really is not definitive answer to give one would be a silly oversimplification of human behavior.
I think for a harmonious relationship, there is someone who is going to be a bit more submissive and the other is going to be a bit more dominant. I remember reading somewhere that in every relationship, there is someone who is the "star" and their partner caters to them. That being said, the roles can switch often between the couple -- it's just that there isn't a set equilibrium.
As for dominant in the office, dominant in relationships, I think that really depends on the person. Personally, I am usually dominant in group work and often solitary in school. But relationship wise, I found that I tended to vary between the two depending on the situation or what I was doing at the time (at home, down time: more nurturing; out and about, doing activities: more bossy).
I don't think my husband and I are necessarily always the dominant or the submissive. It really depends on the area in question. He's more dominant when it comes to financial matters, home maintenance, large purchases (property, cars, boats..etc) and more submissive when it comes to making decisions about the kids, running the household or choosing a vacation destination.
We balance eachother well.
At works he's a leader in his position and he sets the expectations, tone and pace at his job.
I'm more of a follower at work and much more flexible and agreeable that he would be.
