Your management announced that they want to put you on a stretch assignment. In this situation, you should consider that…

…a stretch assignment is going beyond your qualifications right from the start. Whatever your education, knowledge and skills are, you cannot fail personally. Congratulations.
…key stakeholders must have timely and complete information regarding your qualifications to make decisions regarding your suitability for the assignment.
…stretch assignments bear an increased risk of failure, and this is rarely outweighed by the learning and development experience expected to come with the assignment.
…you should avoid the increased hassle coming with the assignment. It will not be enough for you to simply satisfy requirements and achieve objectives. You will have to learn a lot.

The correct answer is: …key stakeholders must have timely and complete information regarding your qualifications to make decisions regarding your suitability for the assignment.

A and C are incorrect because they both only focus on the negative aspects of a stretch assignment. A suggests that you cannot fail personally, but it's important to recognize that there is always a risk of failure in any task. C also mentions the increased risk of failure, but does not mention any potential benefits or growth opportunities that come with a stretch assignment. D is also incorrect because it suggests avoiding the increased hassle, rather than embracing the learning and development experience that comes with a stretch assignment. B is the correct choice because it highlights the importance of key stakeholders having complete information about your qualifications and the need for decision-making when considering a stretch assignment.
