Real Solutions for Handling Unrealistic Expectations

Learn effective strategies to evaluate your workload and discuss expectations in the workplace.

We all know that it is in our best interest to be busy at work, and we all should like it when our manager brings us additional opportunities, because it means that they trust us to get it done, they have recognized we are competent and confident in our work product, and we are a positive asset for the team. With that said, we have to realize, and more importantly, our managers need to realize that we can handle only so much of a workload, before we hit the level of depleted returns. So, if you have reached that limit, and your manager asks you to tackle a new project and you're already clocking in 50 hours a week or more, you can respectfully decline. This topic will guide you how to explain to your boss that your overall performance will suffer if you're forced to spread yourself too thin. As well as provide you techniques in masking no with an alternate proposal to get it all done.
