Question 1 of 29👑 VIP

You are a junior policy analyst in a busy government department. Your line manager has asked you to draft a briefing note on a new housing regulation by end of day. Midway through the task, a senior director — not your direct manager — stops by your desk and asks you to drop everything and compile last-quarter's spending data for a meeting tomorrow morning. You know this data request will take at least three hours. What is the MOST effective course of action?
