But like me Atlantaz if someone is in a new role, each manager who has equal status, will need to identify what task takes priority.

A new member of staff cannot make that decision alone.  Whilst learning in the job we also take direction which helps our decision making.

I don't know how many interviews I have attended where I have been asked this question.  All you can do is say what they want to hear.  Once in the job you can manage this as you want in much the same way that has been described.  I didn't literally mean throw it back to the powers that be but rather give them their place and ask for direction.
