Answer to Question 1

The relationship between each follower and the leader is unique. In some cases the relationship is characterized by mutual trust, commitment, loyalty, and strong liking. Because the leader is positively predisposed toward the subordinate, he or she is afforded an unusual amount of latitude to use his or her judgment on the job. These subordinates enjoy freedom, feel happier for being special and become highly supportive of the leader. These are the in-group. Those in the out-group tend to have a more distant, impersonal relationship with the leader and the level of trust between the parties is low. Those in the out-group become more antagonistic toward the leader and the leader responds accordingly.
