Asking for Clarification in a Team Meeting
在团队会议中请求澄清
-
When Sarah mentioned ‘Q3 deliverables’ without defining them, I raised my hand and said, 'Could you clarify what those include?'
-
She paused, smiled, and listed three items—two reports and one client demo—while checking if I’d missed anything.
-
Later, James misheard ‘budget cap’ as ‘budget gap’, so he asked, 'Do you mean we can’t spend more than $5,000?'
-
Our manager nodded and added, 'Exactly—and that includes travel and software fees.'
-
I followed up with, 'So if the demo tool costs $600, we’ll need to cut elsewhere?' and got a quick yes.
-
No one laughed or rushed past the question; instead, someone shared a shared doc where all terms were defined.
-
We now start each meeting with a two-minute ‘term check’ for acronyms like KPI or SLA.
-
It’s not about knowing everything—it’s about making sure everyone starts from the same point.
