First of all, I would challenge that question.  Are monarchies really less common today?  Several countries still have active monarchs.  I think the real question is how has the authority of the monarch changed.  In many ways, monarchs are a traditional figurehead rather than an active leader.  \n\nI think there are 2 primary reasons why the grip of monarchs has been loosened.  First, many monarchs amalgamated the church and state to make one hybrid entity.  As a general rule, people don't like when church and state are a single force.  People like politics and religion to be separated.  Second, people's willingness to buy into "absolute supremacy" has changed.  Absolute supremacy means that a monarch was chosen by God Himself as His representative.  This logic just doesn't fly with people as it once did.  Perhaps the reason why people bought into that logic years ago was because if they disputed it, they committed both a political and a religious offense.

A man cannot be genuinely dominant without being a gentleman.  Otherwise, his attempts at domination are nothing more than weakness expressed through violence, psychic or physical.\n\nBeing a master means being a guide, which depends on compassion, understanding, and empathy.  Without those - which are also the keys to being a gentleman - a man can overwhelm and force, but he cannot truly dominate.

The Prime Minister is more powerful as long as he is a good Prime Minister. He needs the Queen's approval and the Queen is obliged to give it. If for instance though the government and the Prime Minister were jeopardising the freedom and safetly of their citizens or becoming ruthless dictators, the Queen could (in theory) use her influence to raise the people and her armies against them.

Malaysia is not a 'country'as such, it is a collection of smaller ones. There is, therefore no king or queen. There is a presidency however. The currrent president is Yang di-Pertuan Agong. In the last two decades, Malaysia has undergone tremendous growth and prosperity, and has arguably made significant progress in race relations. Many attribute the country's success to the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohammed, who has led the country since 1981.

Totalitarianism is a typology employed by political scientists, especially those in the field of comparative politics, to describe modern regimes in which the state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior, while absolutism is a political theory which argues that one person, who is often generally a monarch, should hold all power. This is often referred to as the "Divine Right of Kings", implying that a ruler's authority stems directly from God. Prominent theorists associated with absolutism include Augustine of Hippo, Paul of Tarsus, Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, Robert Filmer and Thomas Hobbes.\n(In short totalitarianism characterizes the political practices of a particular government, while absolutism means that the political power is being practiced by only ONE person: another word for it is oligarchy).

“The difference between management and administration (which is what the bureaucrats used to do exclusively) is the difference between choice and rigidity.”\n\nAdministration is the body of management and management is the individual managers. \nLets look at some definitions to clarify: Webster Dict Definition of Management: The people who administer a company, create policies, and provide the support necessary to implement the owners' business objectives. \n\nWebster Dict Definition of Administration: \nThat body which is in charge of an organization, overseeing everything from personnel to organization to allocation of resources. The administration cares for the needs of the organization.\n\nHope this helps.

A leader is someone who has a vision and the ability to convince others to follow that vision. A manager is someone who helps to implement and oversee the strategies and plans of a leader to make sure the vision is carried out.\n\nThink of the leader as the the "Captain of a Ship"...the captain determines the destination and has a vision of where the organization as a whole is going.  The manager might be thought of as "the first mate", they ensure that the leaders wishes are carried out, by assigning the crew specific actions to reach the goal and ensuring that they do their jobs.  The Captain/Leader charts the course and the First mate/manager carries out the actions needed to get to the destination.
