Your supervisor asks you to help clean up a nearby work station , but if you
stop working on your current task , you won't finish today's work on time.
What would you be most and least likely to do?
Most Pick One of Each Least
Do what your supervisor asks. She likely understands the
big picture in a way that you don't.
Explain that you can't help out and finish your own work.
Suggest you come up with a different plan together.
Tell your supervisor you'd like to keep working on your
current task so that you're able to meet your goal.
Ask your coworkers to pitch in so that everyone can still
finish their own tasks.
