BUSINESS ENGLISH FOR
MANAGERS
A deadline describes when work or a task
must be completed. In some situations, the
manager ‘set’s the deadline and in other
situations everyone agrees on a deadline.
A deadline is usually a day and a date. For
example, your manager might tell you that
you need to finish some work before Friday,
May 15th.
Managers use deadlines to organize the
work of their teams. Having a deadline also
means that a manager can check on
progress.
MEANING
a deadline in
business
“My manager always sets tough deadlines for
work. Last week, she set a very tight deadline
for me to complete the marketing strategy
report.
I’ll try to meet her deadline, but I’m concerned
that I might miss this deadline so tomorrow
I’m going to meet Ms. Green to ask her if I
can extend the deadline by one week.”
BUSINESS CONVERSATION
How is it
used in
business?
to set a [tough / tight] deadline
In business, a manager sets a deadline to
clarify when someone in his team must
complete work or finish a task. Some
managers set tough or tight deadlines so their
team has to work productively.
For example:
“Mr. Brown set a two-week deadline to submit
the sales report. This is a really tough
deadline. It’s going to be difficult to complete
the report in such a tight deadline.”
to set a
[tough / tight]
deadline
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE IT
to meet a deadline / to miss a
deadline
To meet a deadline means that the person
has completed his task on time. To miss a
deadline means that the task hasn’t been
completed on time.
For example:
“If we work hard, I believe we can meet the
project completion deadline. However, I’m
concerned that we might miss the deadline
for submitting the final report.”
to meet /
miss a
deadline
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE IT
to extend a deadline
This means that you can’t meet your
deadline. You need more time to complete a
task, so your manager changes the deadline
to a later date to give you more time.
For example:
“The deadline for completing this project is
very tight. We might need to extend the
deadline by one week because I think we
won’t meet this deadline.”
to extend a
deadline
