provider funded by the province.○ Their managers work very well together.○ The culture in the agency is vibrant and ‘lived’ by
the employees.○ Most managers are exhibiting high levels of
satisfaction on the job.• and…
○ Their service levels as outlined by the government are sub‐standard.
○ Their clients needs are not being met.

Consider three organizationsConsider three organizations……2. This organization is a mid‐size, private
accounting firm with offices across Canada.○ Their sales and service ratings meet expectations.○ The managers are generally happy with their
working environment.○ The workforce is well educated and knowledgeable.
• and…○ There do not seem to be any mid‐level managers
that are willing or able to assume the leadership of the organization in the future from the aging senior leadership team.

municipal government.○ They are satisfied with their level of service.○ They employ managers who are capable of leading
the organization in the future.○ Retention strategies have been implemented
