Friends,

I will understand tasks first and evaluate available resources. Will deep dive into possible issue & risk for overall project, Make strategy to overcome this problem along with roadmap for success. Will develop at least three options for stakeholders to decide.

 

Conduct meeting with all stake holders and get their feedback.

Thanks

____ F. I would retain a steadiness of purpose in spite of the pressures

I would definately take up the challenge and focus towards executing the task ,2 things if i have i would do it easily,

1. If i am a team person then no matter who the people in your team are you would manage.

2. If i am through in my field or area of expertise no matter which ever task i am give i can do it.

With respect to above points i can say that sudden tasks or working with unfamilier people doesnt make a lot of difference.

I usually succeed despite the circumstances because I stay calm and not panic. I would share the task amongst team who can best contribute according to their skills and knowledge

The task was given to you with the team because the giver of the task believe you can finished the task within the given period.

Firstly, you explain the task to the team and the pressure on time limit. Then require their opinions on the best path through the solution. After their responses, merge with your idea and accomplish the task working with the team accordingly.

You have two choices,either you stay on the sidelines  and watch or you can dive in and accept the challenge.

winners always accept the challenge and work  smart to achieve excellence.

winning is costly but pays well.

Treating people with kindness and humility almost always helps. Show that attitude and those unfamiliar people will gel in like a single unit to complete the task.

 

But if we are to enforce our own ego upon others, they would do the same causing friction within the team and eventually leading to a failure of delivery.
