Question # 2:
The best change image as a change manager that can be associated with Gunter is the role of Director. As Gunter was aiming to develop the ability to control the turnover rate completely aligned with the organization's scope and was of the view that the turnover rate is leading a negative impact on the company or the organization. Management actions were considered as a major contribution towards the turnover rate, but there were some external factors that were also playing their part. The role of external factors made it clear that Gunter can play his role in minimizing the turnover rate, but he cannot control the overall situation and cannot stop the external factors in playing their part. This is the reason Gunter is aiming to take complete control over the turnover rate as he wants to minimize the turnover rate to the best extent he can. In order to achieve this objective Gunter viewed different options as a possible solution, but was unable to achieve the desired objective.
On the other hand, the consultant played the role of an interpreter as a change manager as he was trying to convince Gunter to seek the positivity from the current issue. Gunter was not succeeding in finding the probable solution to manage the growing the turnover rate and was explaining the current scenario to the consultant. The task of the consultant was to guide and translate the current scenario to the Gunter in a manner that Gunter can see possible solutions and change the situation into a company’s favor. Besides this, the task of the consultant included helping Gunter in changing the situation effectively into company’s favor. The consultant was aiming to convince Gunter to look the picture with a positive perspective and convince him to see turnover as a positive thing. Besides that the consultant wanted Gunter to think out of the box and see or view the current situation with a broader perspective.
The consultant was somewhat able to convince Gunter to view turnover positively by highlighting the fact that the company has many skilled and trained employees. These trained employees are well equipped and capable of moving up in the hierarchy, and the company is not affected by turnover rate.
