One of Lakshmi’s tasks as manager is to create a business plan for her team based on goals set by the company’s head executives. Lakshmi has been swamped with work and has fallen behind on her planning process. Despite this setback, the business still has the same overall goals and deadlines. If Lakshmi had completed her business plan on time, her team would have been able to reach the proposed goals. Now that she is late, however, her team will have to work long hours and will still struggle to meet the goals in time. Should Lakshmi admit that she lost track of time and adjust the deadlines accordingly? Or should she keep the deadlines and expect her team to come through so the business can stay on track?
