4. Lets have an eye on few aspects about how
to handle the unrealistic expectations at
work place.

5. 1. Before going further make sure that what is been asked you
to perform is exactly what expected is or is unreasonable.
Managers always try to push you beyond your comfort zone
but they should know your capabilities.
2. If manager tries you to push more and you are overwhelmed,
just stop and ask yourself why? Is it because you are lacking
with capability or it is something which is out of your
comfort zone?
3. Figure out from where the stress is coming and reason behind
your anxiety, insecurity will be the first step to get manage
with further step.

6. 1. Make a list of the tasks given to you.
Judge them all if they are related to your role
and are realistic. Realistic by the means
whether the task is really be able to
complete within given time period.
2. Figure out where and why your manager's
requests are unreasonable. Write down
everything what is in your mind and try to
find out why you feel challenged to get the
things done.

7. 1. Once you figured out what is the actual reason of getting work
challenged and unrealistic, the immediate step is talk to your
manager about the work given to you and the issues you face.
2. Fortunately you are ready with the list of the challenges you are
expecting. Do it early, as soon you realize before manager
overestimate you.
3. Before having a meet be ready with the plan of what you have
been asked to do, where you lack, where you are overestimated
and what you need to overcome with the challenges while
performing the task. This can be a good way to discuss and let
your manager know how unrealistic goals have been allocated.

8. 1. Do not get frustrated or tensed for not being able to do
what have been asked to do. Manager does not want to
hear no from you and the thing want to listen is to whinge
them, which can be the great way to limit your career.
2. Instead of giving reasons why you can't meet the
expectations, shift the discussion on what you exactly
need to meet them. This will change the conversation and
gives you the opportunity to demonstrate indirectly why
an expectation is unrealistic as only to aware them with
the fact.

9. 1. Discuss with the
colleagues whatever
stuff have given to you
to accomplish. Sharing
work load with the
experienced work
mates will never go
waste. May be others
have already gone
through with the
problems or the
situation you face
challenging in. 2. Asking expertise will help you get
to know the easier ways to meet
the requirements and might be
colleagues can help you to deal
with these unrealistic
challenges.

10. 1. Almost anything can be achieved with the unlimited
resources. Identifying the need of resources and additional
technologies will definitely help you to be successful and
think how to use them. Remember unrealistic goals can be
realistic if you have enough resources and technology.
2. An employee should listen to the manager carefully what
exactly he wants to direct us. Ask every small thing where
you have issue, discuss repeatedly what he has assigned
you and what can be done from your end. Before ending up
every discussion define again what is been asked and how
much exactly is able to complete. By this he will come to
know what and how much unrealistic their goals and
assignments are.

11. Updating and intimating every
stage of completion is always
useful for you to let your
manager know what is the status
of your work. Let them know
what challenges you face at
every stage of performing the
task. This will let them come to
know what resources,
technologies, help or your
assistance is required due to
assigning the unrealistic goals
which are not possible to
achieve.

12. Managing unrealistic expectations is
like negotiation. If something
unrealistic is asked to do , firstly try
to focus on things which you
understand and can achieve.
Estimate yourself where you are,
what you can do to be successful to
accomplish with best approach to
enjoy win -win situation.
