Clarify Expectations: Ensure that both supervisors have clearly communicated their expectations. Sometimes, conflicts arise from misunderstandings or unclear communication. Identify Common Goals: Focus on shared objectives. Highlight areas where the expectations overlap, and frame your actions as helping to achieve common goals. Prioritize Tasks: If the expectations conflict in terms of deadlines or priorities, communicate with both supervisors to clarify which tasks should take precedence. Use facts to show the impact of prioritization decisions. Propose Compromises: If expectations are in direct conflict, suggest possible compromises that could meet both parties halfway. Offer practical solutions that balance their demands.

First, I would seek clarity by understanding the goals and motivations behind each supervisor's expectations. Once I have a full picture, I would arrange a meeting to align on priorities, presenting the potential conflicts and suggesting a solution that meets both needs, if possible. I would focus on finding common ground by demonstrating how addressing one set of expectations could also benefit the other. If needed, I would ask for guidance on which tasks or objectives should take precedence to ensure that I am meeting overall organizational goals. Throughout, I would remain flexible, open to feedback, and ensure I’m providing regular updates to keep both supervisors informed of my progress.
