Suppose your boss asks you to write a report with two conditions: It has to be clear (i.e., well written) and it has to be completed by the end of the day. Do these instructions constitute a dual mandate or a hierarchical mandate? Suppose that in the short run (during the first month) you fail to meet one of the conditions (you either write a proper report or are late, or vice versa). Do you see a conflict between these two conditions in the long run?
