How do you handle unclear or conflicting instructions?

When faced with unclear or conflicting instructions, I first seek clarification by asking specific questions to identify the desired outcome. If necessary, I consult relevant stakeholders or team members to gather additional perspectives. Once I have a clearer understanding, I prioritize the tasks based on urgency and relevance, and communicate any potential concerns to ensure alignment moving forward. This approach helps mitigate misunderstandings and fosters collaborative problem-solving.
