Thirty years ago, Clarkin was a small city (about 70,000 residents) that served as an outer suburb
to a large metropolitan city. The municipality of Clarkin treated its employees like family and gave
them a great deal of autonomy in their work. Everyone in the organization including the two labor
unions representing employees) implicitly agreed that the leaders and supervisors of the
organization shoulc rise through the ranks on the basis of their experience. Few people were ever
hired from the outside into middle or senior positions. The rule of employment at Clarkin was to
learn the job skills, maintain reasonably good work record, and wait your turn for promotion.
Clarkin grew rapidly over the past three decades. As the population grew, so did the municipality's
workforce to keep pace with the increasing demand for municipal services. This meant that
employee were promoted fairly quickly and were almost assured guaranteed employment. In fact,
until recently Clarkin had never laid off any employee. The organization's culture could be
described as one of entitlement and comfort. Neither the elected city councilors nor the city
manager bothered the departmental managers about their work. There were few cost controls
because the rapid growth placed more emphasis on keeping up with the population expansion.
The public became somewhat more critical of the city's poor service, including road construction at
inconvenient times and the apparent lack of respect some employees showed toward taxpayers.
