Springer Complexity
Springer Complexity is an interdisciplinary program publishing the best research
and academic-level teaching on both fundamental and applied aspects of complex
systems—cutting across all traditional disciplines of the natural and life sciences,
engineering, economics, medicine, neuroscience, social, and computer science.
Complex Systems are systems that comprise many interacting parts with the
ability to generate a new quality of macroscopic collective behavior the
manifestations of which are the spontaneous formation of distinctive temporal,
spatial, or functional structures. Models of such systems can be successfully mapped
onto quite diverse “real-life” situations like the climate, the coherent emission of
light from lasers, chemical reaction–diffusion systems, biological cellular networks,
the dynamics of stock markets and of the Internet, earthquake statistics and
prediction, freeway traffic, the human brain, or the formation of opinions in social
systems, to name just some of the popular applications.
Although their scope and methodologies overlap somewhat, one can distinguish
the following main concepts and tools: self-organization, nonlinear dynamics,
synergetics, turbulence, dynamical systems, catastrophes, instabilities, stochastic
processes, chaos, graphs and networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, genetic
algorithms, and computational intelligence.
The three major book publication platforms of the Springer Complexity program
are the monograph series “Understanding Complex Systems” focusing on the
various applications of complexity, the “Springer Series in Synergetics”, which is
devoted to the quantitative theoretical and methodological foundations, and the
“SpringerBriefs in Complexity” which are concise and topical working reports,
case-studies, surveys, essays, and lecture notes of relevance to the field. In addition
to the books in these two core series, the program also incorporates individual titles
ranging from textbooks to major reference works.

Preface
Chaos and complexity have fast become the new order of the contemporary world.
Indeed, to talk about any phenomenon in life without alluding to the intricate nature
of chaos and complexity is to miss a point and render the search for knowledge inef-
ficient. Nevertheless, nothing gets even more paradoxical than the quest for efficient
and effective leadership within a chaos and complexity vacuum. Chaos and com-
plexity are largely inseparable with leadership because they augment leadership’s
inextricable structures making them indispensable with leadership especially in the
modern world.
Tellingly, therefore, no effort has been spared and no stone left unturned in the
world of academia to bring to literature the ontological, epistemological, axiologi-
cal and logical premises of chaos and complexity and also as to how it obtains
within leadership exegeses. Such has been the accomplishment leading to a series of
works and books in the realm of exploration of the daunting challenge posed by
chaos and complexity brought to bear on leadership systems by both literal and
technical aspects in various forms.
The latest effort, like the others preceding it, draws on the proverbial linearity
and non-linearity divide in the conceptualization of various phenomena which also
engulfs the leadership terrain. This is through a comprehensive analysis of the rela-
tionship between chaos and complexity theory as well as leadership by dissecting a
number of misnomers and fallacies that are viewed as innuendos of misconception
of the logical nature of chaos and complexity by many.
Chaos and complexity alongside leadership have been explored from both a con-
ventional and educational perspective, whilst the authors engaged a variety of
approaches ranging from theoretical to practical aspects as well as content analysis
to field-based studies. The result has been a toast of academic and research excel-
lence obtaining in the realm of pioneer adventurism in contextual and structural
settings. The studies and academic works in question have been put together in what
has been entitled as Chaos, Complexity and Leadership 2016.
The book indeed positions itself as virtually the finest knowledge stopover for
chaos and complexity from the perspective of leadership as it brought together
researchers and academicians from different walks of knowledge fields and

amalgamated their views into a model that informs the applicability of chaos and
complexity theory to leadership which has been a missing link in many a previous
undertaking.
As usual we remain indebted to the international science association and all the
authors who partook in this academic journey. We owe it to all those who directly or
indirectly contributed to the possibility of this undertaking. This is because, in the
process of developing the concept, structure of the book, author identification and
orientation, review of manuscripts and evaluation, a considerable amount of time
was spent: we feel this work will be an icing on a cake in the realm of abrogating
the curtain on the less-explored concept of chaos and complexity in leadership.
Yet again, we feel that readers would be tempted to jump onto the bandwagon and
partake in studies related to chaos, complexity, leadership and non-linearity in general,
thus expounding on the knowledge base, which is long overdue.
With pleasure allow us to present the latest edition, Chaos, Complexity and
Leadership 2016, which draws on a wide range of views related to chaos and com-
plexity theory as well as leadership.
We hope you will enjoy the latest product of a rather exhausting journey.
