Leadership is not just about leaders, instead, it is an amalgamation of leaders and their followers who work jointly to achieve a sense of us-ness. In this context, leadership is apprehended as a process in which leaders and followers work together to create, advance, and embed the sense of shared social identity. In business management, the shared social identity is intrinsically related to the notion of equality. Leaders through the process of leadership aim to guide a team, set attainable goals, and make decisions to aid the organization achieve its vision.

However, this process requires equal treatment of followers by the leaders to motivate and satisfy them to enhance work productivity, allowing them to sense the essence of shared identity. In this process, both leaders and followers share the same identity in terms of understanding organizational objectives and obtaining them through collaborative diligence. Hence, organizational leaders are required to be motivational and inspirational to inspire the workforce to walk on the same path as their leaders.
