The results of the study show that (a) current Armenian leaders seem to reflect the behaviors and attitudes of the historical leadership models above (b) history should matter in leadership studies to understand leadership behaviors, in this case in Armenia, and how the past continues to shape their current worldviews and social identities and (c) democracy imported to Armenia from the West, with little considerations of the historical characteristics of the Armenian people, has not produced the desired democratic reforms since 1991 independence. Each model has been presented within its historical context and analyzed in light of current leadership behaviors in Armenia. Five leadership models have been acknowledged in Armenia during its four thousand year history: Monarchic, Church, National, Communist, and Democratic Leadership. This paper addresses historical and contemporary issues of leadership in Armenia. Leadership Models in Armenia: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
