People Management ...
Been a team lead for several months now. It has been really hard for me to lead a group of people, more so because these people have their individuality intact and honestly, I am not a people-person. But thank goodness I have a supervisor who cares enough to show me by not leading but making me understand that there is "No Free Lunch". He said that respect is given because it is deserved and NOT COMMANDED by any position or by the bearer. He has only one rule:
SET AN EXAMPLE AND YOUR SUBORDINATES WILL FOLLOW...
Which actually makes sense. Why? Go figure...

There is a big difference between REIGN and RULE. So are you all saying that he/she reigns but he/she does not rule?
A REIGN is the term used to describe the length of a monarch. No time limit exists on reigns, nor is there a term of office. Thus a reign usually lasts for the remainder of the monarch's life, unless the monarchy itself is abolished or the monarch abdicates.
Etymology for RULE is regula (“‘straight stick, bar, ruler, pattern’”) < regere (“‘to keep straight, direct, govern, rule’”); see regent... So therefore, a RULER is someone who keeps things in order by adhering to a set of norms. He makes sure that these RULES or directives, whose etymology also touches the word DIRECTION, (that are set to make things in order, cohesive, etc.) gets to demand strict compliance, even by himself.
Thus one can REIGN but NOT RULE.
Also read The Prince by Machiavelli...
