Chaotic interaction in abnormal leadership processes from the perspective of leaders and followers

Abstract

In this chapter, we will discuss a very different type of leadership called abnormal leadership, and the chaotic interaction between abnormal leaders and their followers. Abnormal leadership can be defined as a group’s or organization’s leader who encourages members to commit criminal or destructive activities. We can say such leaders are “abnormal leaders”. The groups or organizations can be formal or informal in structure but the major aim of both is to benefit substantially from the continuing criminal activity. Abnormal leaders focus on criminal activities and encourage followers to commit crime. There are lots of such groups or organizations and can be formal or informal in structure but those groups are destructive to the followers, other people, countries and the earth. Abnormal leadership is a chaotic interaction field between leaders and followers. Chaotic interaction between abnormal leaders with their followers has been explained by five major assumptions in this chapter. Consequently, discussing this subject is of paramount importance especially given contemporary trends.
