What is Positive Stigma in Terms of Leadership

Chapter 10
Handbook of Research on Chaos and Complexity Theory in the Social Sciences
When we consider positive stigma in terms of leadership, we cannot say that the situation is much different. Whether leaders have legal status or not, all leaders’ behaviors are followed by a large group of followers and reactive ones indeed. Leaders avoid behaviors and sayings that lead to negative reactions of followers for continuity of leadership status, because the power of leaders on followers cannot be denied but equally, the control of followers over leaders cannot be underestimated.

Abstract
This study's aim is to initiate a discussion of the other side of stigma: that is positive stigma. In this chapter, we discuss different sides of the stigma phenomenon with three major concepts; intelligence quotient, chaos theory, quantum theory with the last unverified part of the Standard Model of particle physics- Higgs Boson and also known as the God Particle. Lastly, we focus on positive stigma in terms of leadership as a case of future trends for this discussion. This discussion is expected to trigger off a high level of academic and research interest in the field of stigma.
