Abstract
We propose an interdisciplinary, multilevel model of leadership and team dynamics for dangerous military contexts. Viewing this context as a higher level of analysis, our model includes constructs and multiple levels of analysis involved in team formation and assembly, which result in leadership and team dynamics, which in turn yield team performance and maintenance. Pragmatic leadership at the individual level, individualized leadership at the dyadic level, and shared leadership at the team level provide an integrated core for the approach. Multilevel precursors, consequences, and moderators of this leadership and team dynamics approach also are discussed. Twelve key multilevel propositions and five multilevel exploratory ones are derived from the model and asserted for testing in future work on dangerous military contexts.
