When allocating your time, skills, or energy, be sure to clarify the expectations with your team and manager in terms of outcome, the role you'll play and any other relevant factors. Ensuring mutual expectations are firmly established could improve your productivity without the stress of uncertainty, and your team will appreciate the clarification. Make sure there are clear parameters for allocation of work and minimize ambiguity so you can deliver high-quality work, and reduce chances of missing deadlines or goals.

When allocating your time, skills, or energy, be sure to clarify the expectations with the other party in terms of outcome, the role you'll play and any other relevant factors. Your interpretation of "right" and "wrong" leaves those you work with vulnerable to confusion or miscommunication. By fostering a practice of clarification with your team it will become a habit for them to define "right" and "wrong" in the context of a project or task to avoid such pitfalls.

Although determining the underpinnings of "right" and "wrong" could open up a broad philosophical debate, when initiating interactions, projects or meetings with others avoid conflict by ensuring everyone involved understands the parameters, the goals and what is expected from them within each context. Doing so will ease future communication, and may resolve misaligned assumptions.
