The situation was as follows: I was receiving my tasks from several managers and all of them was angry (to say honest they were pissed off :) ) that I was bad in task prioritising and sometimes missed some deadlines. Sure, I tried to say something like that: "It's enough things on my plate". But they were not happy anyway and each time I had to describe all my tasks and what's wrong with one more task in my list.
I think I was not too smart to manage this problem right and eliminate all unnecessary tasks.
So, here is the diagram of management which should be eliminated:
If only I was really smart that time I had proposed this method of management my activity:
But this method requires information about most influential manager (supervisor), which should be identified and used as a leverage to influence on other task submitters. So all would justify their tasks in the eyes of my supervisor before making an asignment.
Or another approach may be used:
As for my organization, a special software system could be used and I was just stupid that tried to work without yells of anger that anyone assigns tasks using email, phone or verbally.
