意思
To establish what tasks or goals are most important.
文化背景
The French workplace values 'le cadre' (the framework). Defining priorities is often a top-down process where the manager sets the 'cadre' for the team. In Quebec, the influence of North American management styles is stronger, leading to a very frequent use of 'prioriser' alongside 'définir les priorités'. Swiss professional culture emphasizes precision and consensus. Defining priorities often involves a collaborative meeting to ensure everyone agrees on the order. In professional settings in Francophone Africa, 'définir les priorités' is used in formal administration, often linked to development goals and international cooperation.
Use in Interviews
Use this phrase to sound professional. Instead of saying 'I do the important stuff', say 'Je sais définir les priorités'.
Avoid 'Faire'
Never say 'faire les priorités'. It's a common mistake for English speakers that sounds very unnatural in French.

The 'Urgent vs Important' nuance
In French business culture, people often distinguish between 'l'urgent' and 'l'important' when defining priorities.
Singular vs Plural
While you can 'donner la priorité' (singular) to one thing, you almost always 'définir les priorités' (plural) because it implies a list.
