This lack of mindfulness, when applied to the education system, can lead to sudden and unexpected change. The authors appear to believe that this is, by association, an affliction of the leadership position, which makes it all the more important to involve the public in the decision-making process.
To increase mindfulness, Boleman and Deal (p. 11) suggest the construction of frames, which are basically a type of map by means of which systems can be monitored. If any element within the system then does not fit into the frame, it can be examined in more depth to determine the appropriate course of action to mitigate the anomalies or unfavorable changes in the system.
The main advantage of frames is that it can be applied to the system as a whole and that it determines meaningful patterns. Any anomaly can therefore be identified and handled without any...
Hence, solutions can be determined and implemented on a continuous basis, which would make severe and long-term budget cuts unnecessary.
In conclusion, New Public Management should include paradigms such as mindfulness and frameworks to determine and mitigate minor short-term change. When continued mindfulness is excercised regarding such changes, the long-term necessity for budget cuts will be mitigated. By association, this would mean a better education system and ultimately a healthier economy with more young people who enter the job market and contribute meaningfully to the economy. Surely, this is more important than the short-term general efficiency that is the purpose of severe budget cuts in the state education…

Briefing Note The recent economic climate has been a challenge in all sectors of life, including the health care sector. The purpose of this document is therefore to propose a 10% budget cut for health care in the province, based on the fact that severe economic circumstances have necessitated a lower allocation of government funding for this purpose. The question and focus for this briefing note is therefore: How can we
Educational Budget Cuts Will children of today become leaders of tomorrow? Unfortunately, this looming question continues to resonate in the hearts and minds of many parents and educators. Today, many elementary and high schools throughout the United States are receiving less state funding than last year in at least 37 states, and in at least 30 states school funding now stands below 2008 levels -- often far below (Fabian, 2011). How
Budget Deficit Government Budget What are the consequences of an ever-burgeoning federal deficit and debt? Will there ever be a solution or compromise? One of the most hotly-contested issues in contemporary American political life is how to deal with the current budget deficit. Despite running surpluses during the 1990s, the current budget is widely considered out of control by both Democrats and Republicans. The reasons for the deficit include two costly wars abroad
