Answer (2)
While being straightforward, this approach might come off as dismissive and could create tension or conflict within the team. It does not consider whether the new information is crucial and might reflect poorly on collaborative skills.
Explain the situation to your manager. Ask if you could have an extension to the deadline for the recommendation, so you can consider the extra information.
Effectiveness: Fairly Effective
In a work scenario involving deadlines, the actions vary in effectiveness. Asking for an extension is fairly effective, but the best approach is to scan the additional information and incorporate key points before the deadline, which is the most effective method. Meanwhile, dismissing the request outright is seen as ineffective and may harm team dynamics.
