A conceptualization of dyadic leadership is developed by focusing on multiple levels of analysis, multiple views of leadership, and longitudinal issues in the formation, development, and maintenance of dyadic relationships. Four views of dyads (i.e., dyads within groups, whole dyads, dyad parts, and cross-level dyads) and three genre of leadership models (i.e., instrumental, inspirational, informal) are combined to develop an integrated framework for understanding the literature on dyadic leadership. Using this approach, how dyadic leadership forms, operates, and changes over time is considered.
