“Some people believe that the best approach to effective time management is to make detailed daily and long-term plans and then to adhere to them. However, this highly structured approach to work is counterproductive. Time management needs to be flexible so that employees can respond to unexpected problems as they arise.”

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or example from your own experience, or reading.

Many people feel that making detailed daily and long-term plans is counterproductive. On the other hand, it can be noted that highly structured approach to work is believed the best management tool. In this discussion, I shall present argument favoring the latter statement and refuting the former statement.
Management that is to make detailed daily and long-term plans and to adhere to them can clearly see the problem. If you do not have the plan, you would not find out whether a task now conducted is delay or progress. Moreover, if you do not know the problem precisely, you could not countermeasure the problem. This is what I truly point out this statement.
Of course, employees may respond unexpected behavior some times. But this problem can be avoided by some devices. First, the plan is include the times that deal with the unexpected problems. When you make the plan, you must count on to occur the unexpected problem. Thus, if the unexpected problem occurred, you might not modify you first plan to deal with the problem. For example, in information technology software industry, the people who project manager must do so. Therefore, if some problems occurred unexpectedly, they could deal with them in time.
Second, manager has to prevent the problem. Employee who conducts unexpectedly does not find out purpose of his job truly. This is most caused of little explanation or communication with a manager. For instance, in the IT software industry, the product is not visible and not easy to check immediately. Therefore, the less check you conducted, the more problem occurred. This situation just can be avoid by frequent confirm for truly understanding. If the manager communicated with employees well, the employees might not respond unexpected problem.
Last, the device that can make plan productive is to review the employee’s work finely and frequently. If your employee mistakes or misunderstands the purpose of its job and the failure work took a long time, you would not conduct the project in time. However, if the failure took only a little time, you would get back easy.
As the example above illustrates, making the detailed daily and long-term plans and then to adhere to them is definitely productive.

Hope this helps though.
