I will prioritize the work and then report to all
I would start with the task which I have to submit first based on the project plan. (i.e.: the task for which the deadline is sooner)
in case there is a conflict in timings between the 2 tasks and both are required at the same time I would call for a meeting between the 2 bosses and ask them to talk to each other and decide which task should be having the higher priority.
I thought I am the top end of the position in this organization. so I report myself only to rectify the problems.
If I were to report to more than one person, work should be prioritize according to which would be most beneficial to the work at hand while also factoring the time that it will take and the efficiency of the work. I would also keep a record of the tasks given and a specific time range of when it will be done. Each task should be neatly organized and planned to keep operation running efficiently. Reporting should be done in a way where the concerned members should be timely informed.
I would like to proritize according to the condition and status of going on task or project.
Sailing in two boats is always dangerous. So one should keep on striving to channelize one's reporting line. An employee should have one supervisor/boss through whom the other person gives him/her work. This will help at the time of appriasal as well.
Till the time this happens, one has to keep both the bosses apprised of what the other boss has assigned to him/her. This will help prioritize tasks automatically.
Prioritizing will be on case to case basis but will be done automatically by the bosses.
Boss 1: Can you please do this.
Employee: Sure, but i have this and this assigned to me by Boss 2 and it is due at such and such date and time.
Boss 1: Uh, no my work needs priority.
Employee: Well uh, can you please inform Boss 2 that I will complete his/her task later on.
Boss 1: Why should I? Just get on with my task.
Employee walks in Boss 2's office, informs him/her of the situation and let the bosses prioritize.
Prioritizing one's work depends upon project plan and not on someone's instructions.
First i am Make Sure without interfrence works i will give to first prioritize,
