Summary/Abstract: There are different concepts of power and leadership. Models of power based on strong personality, money and organization are superimposed on models of hereditary power, clan affiliation and icnomic (democratic) power. The neoliberal conception of power and leadership has universal claims, but it does not offer the only successful model, even in the United States. In Bulgaria, a country from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the neoliberal model has been imposed factually on traditionalist power relations, and poor outcomes in societal development have led to alienation between elites and ordinary citizens.
