‘Leadership dyads’ — or leader/deputy partnerships — can be optimised for high performance by looking at the similarities and differences between the two individual personalities, and marrying them to form a complimentary dyad.

Fortunately, there is a five-factor personality model — ‘the Big Five’ — that we can use to help us achieve it.
