“You have a right to your work, but never to its fruits. Let the fruit not be your motive, and do not cling to inaction either.”

The most quoted line in the Gita is working advice before it is anything else. Give the task your full care; the result belongs to a hundred causes beyond you, so let your grip on it loosen.

The second half is the part people forget: this is no licence to drift into doing nothing. The verse asks for more effort, held more lightly, at the same time.
