    The Aspect of Leadership at XYZ Company

    Various leadership concerns have risen at company XYZ, where the employees' and

    leadership's satisfactory levels are at lower rates. This needs to be corrected. I have a to advise

    Pat, the company's vice president, how this can be fixed. I am in a better position to offer the

    advice as I recently enrolled in a management course. The paper presents the characteristics of a

    successful leader, what followers expect from a leader, what leaders expect from followers, the

    strategies to increase the leadership, and employee satisfaction ratings.

    Characteristics Of a Successful Leader

    Although there is not a single right approach to effectively lead a company or a team,

    there are common characteristics among successful leaders that should be considered when

    developing the leaders and their skills. That is why effective leadership is important. To retain

    employees, satisfy clients, and improve the company's productivity, it is important to have

    individuals who can effectively communicate the company's vision, guide the employees, and

    influence the expected change (Daft, 2018). Some of the characteristics of successful leaders

    include the ability to influence the teams, transparency, encourage innovativeness and risk-

    taking, and impart ethics and credibility, among other vital characteristics.

    What Followers Expect from A Leader

    To effectively run a company, leaders must strategize, set priorities and visions, build

    successful relationships with the teams within the organizations, and make things happen within

    these organizations (Winsborough et al., 2009). However, if the followers are asked what they

    expect from a leader, the answer will be clear. They expect a leader who can be trusted, a

    compassionate leader who can instill stability and hope for everyone under them.

    What Leaders Expect from Followers

    The success of a team depends on the relationship between the leaders and their

    followers. Various expectations have to be met by followers that cement the relationship. The

    leaders expect the followers who know when a situation calls for them to take action and be

    involved. They expect the followers to generate ideas that will help in solving various problems

    within the organization. The followers should be willing to collaborate to ensure that the goals of

    the company are met (Bossidy, 2007). They should be willing to put aside their divisions and

    focus on the success of the company. The leaders also expect the followers to be hardworking

    and ready to give their all to ensure that the company achieves its goals and remains top in its

    performance.

    Strategies To Increase the Leadership and Employee Satisfaction Ratings

    Various strategies can be used to increase the satisfaction ratings for both the leadership

    and the employees. To increase the leadership satisfaction rating, it is important to evaluate their

    skills and knowledge and ensure that it is up-to-date. Again, it is important to review the issues

    that make their satisfaction levels lower. This will help in prescribing the right dose that will

    increase their satisfaction levels.

    To increase the satisfaction rating of the employees, it is also important to get their

    feedback on what has caused a dip in their satisfaction levels. Then, the management should

    come up with approaches to help them to up their levels of satisfaction. Some of the common

    approaches that can be used here include; motivating the employees, conducting regular training,

    and meeting their employment needs. In company XYZ, ensuring that the employees are

    satisfied will ensure that the productivity of the company in the long-run also increases.
