The text provides several examples of challenges (to administrators) that are presented via enhanced chains of accountability. What are these challenges? Can you offer any advice for how to striking a balance between these competing forces?
What will be an ideal response?
Good administration requires the exercise of professional judgment. If policymakers create an environment that punishes risk-taking because the potential sanctions for failure are great, the administrators will not take risks. Also, excessive red tape increases the amount of time that it takes to get work done, resulting in delayed results for citizens, for example. The answer should include a response to striking a balance, based on a reasonable amount of opinion and evidence from the text.
