Problem Statement
How do you manage expectations? / What if you cannot meet someone's expectations?
Explanation
I manage expectations by communicating clearly and honestly from the start about what is realistic and achievable given the time, resources, and constraints. If I realize I cannot meet someone's expectations, I inform them as early as possible, explain the reasons transparently, and propose alternative solutions or adjusted timelines. I believe setting realistic expectations upfront and maintaining open communication throughout is better than overpromising and underdelivering, which damages trust and credibility.
