Andrew introduces this tricky situation you may face at work-to accept or refuse a new assignment. While you could be the exception, most people find it almost impossible to refuse a work assignment from a senior person. Yet those responsible for handing out assignments know that a potential recipient may refuse for various reasons. Andrew suggests your first step is to analyse the possible new assignment in this way:
Will the new assignment provide you with tangible benefits? It may, for example, even distract you from your core work, on which you will ultimately be judged. Accepting a new assignment may be worth it if it
Hopefully, these wins will emerge when you analyse the assignment. Later in the Podcast, Andrew reviews when, why and how you might refuse an assignment. All 50 Ways podcasts end with three actions you can take today to do better. You'll also learn how to obtain the relevant e-learning mobile unit to consolidate your learning further. COMING SOON!
