Give expert advice, and if they allow you to prove it, perform a baseline survey to demonstrate that your points are valid and that following his directions will be detrimental to the organization and a waste of resources. If they insist, you can give it a try by exerting all of your effort, and depending on how much effort you've expended, there may be positive outcomes. If there is success, the recognition goes to you and your team/department as a whole, and if there is failure, you may be exempt from criticisms and punishments because you have provided honest and expert advice. It is nearly immature to completely reject a concept or proposal without offering any advice or making any efforts to improve it. Remember that this is a tactic employed by seasoned managers to test your problem-solving abilities and decision-making strategy in order to prevent the organization from wasting unnecessary resources.

Dealing with unrealistic goals set by your manager can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to address the situation effectively. Here are some suggestions on how to handle this scenario:

  1. Communicate openly: Schedule a meeting with your manager to discuss your concerns about the goals. Clearly explain why you believe they are unattainable, providing specific reasons such as resource limitations, time constraints, or conflicting priorities. Emphasize your willingness to work hard and meet challenging targets, but express your concerns about the feasibility of the current goals.

  2. Propose alternative solutions: Offer alternative goals or strategies that you believe are more realistic and achievable. Present a well-thought-out plan with clear objectives, timelines, and resource requirements. By demonstrating your problem-solving skills and proactive approach, you can show your manager that you are committed to finding a mutually beneficial solution.

    Seek clarification: If your manager insists on the existing goals despite your concerns, ask for clarification about their expectations. Request more information regarding the reasoning behind the goals, their importance, and the intended outcomes. This dialogue may help you gain a better understanding of your manager's perspective and facilitate finding a middle ground.

  3. Document everything: Maintain a record of conversations and emails related to goal-setting discussions. Having documentation can be valuable if you need to escalate the issue or reference previous agreements or concerns. It helps ensure transparency and protects you from potential misunderstandings in the future.

  4. Involve stakeholders: If the unrealistic goals impact other team members or departments, consider reaching out to relevant stakeholders who might share your concerns. Collaboration and collective feedback from multiple parties can help highlight the impracticality of the goals and encourage a reconsideration.

  5. Manage expectations: If it becomes clear that the goals are non-negotiable, focus on managing expectations. Prioritize tasks based on their importance and feasibility, and communicate the potential challenges and limitations to your manager and other stakeholders. Providing regular progress updates and highlighting achievements within the given constraints can help set realistic expectations and demonstrate your dedication.

  6. Continuous feedback and review: Regularly communicate with your manager about your progress and any obstacles you encounter along the way. This ongoing feedback allows for adjustments and recalibration of goals as necessary. By maintaining open lines of communication, you can ensure that your manager remains aware of the challenges you face and can adapt their expectations accordingly.

    If, despite your efforts, the situation remains unchanged and the unrealistic goals persist, it might be worth considering other options such as discussing the matter with a higher-level manager, human resources, or seeking advice from a mentor or trusted colleague. Remember, it's important to prioritize your well-being and maintain a healthy work-life balance, so don't hesitate to seek support when needed.

As a team in that company, I'll ask my manager to set a meeting to do a brainstorming in order for us to understand each other. Let us talk and share ideas to build good communication, and good feedback to each other, and most especially avoid problems and misunderstandings.
