You need to understand that here its not just about you but entire team. If there is a team at stake and that means you are the face of representing entities. First and foremost thing to remember is respect, be it your team members or coaches or mentors who are there always at ups and downs. Another point to add is discuss whats our plan, keep the energy high and always have a learning mindset.

Understand the complete responsibility and take the ownership of the tasks assigned. No doubt you have to focus on individual goals but try to align them with team goals. Be it small or negligent best practices, share it with complete team so as everyone could be benefited from it.

It totally depends who exactly questions your work. The best person to judge is oneself and if you know you have already created an impact its good enough. If the management feels it also do acknowledge that with empathy and also say that next time it would be good to have weekly/monthly/quarterly sync so as all goals are streamlined and neither your efforts go for a toss. I firmly believe as long as you have set yourself or aligned with company’s goals it will always create an impact.

Irrespective of your current role/designation you should always respect boundaries and emotions other person exhibits. Every person carries different emotion so it's important to understand that first and then the matter on which disagreement is happening. You should not just force your thought/suggestion but try to explain peacefully complete idea behind it. Make sure you understand the disagreement reason and acknowledge that as a next step to move and conclude.

Majority of ideas do come already with the title "set clear goals". Make sure you converge your personal goals with employee's goal. Get regular feedbacks/updates from the mentor. Don't do it just for internship stake but make sure you understand the importance and impact it will create. Split your goals in short and long term and also mid term if you wish. This will help you not only to think big but also celebrate small milestones at each step.
