open-in-new
<p>A titular ruler, or titular head, is a person in an official position of leadership who possesses few, if any, actual powers. Sometimes a person may inhabit a position of titular leadership and yet exercise more power than would normally be expected, as a result of their <a href="/facts/Charisma/TGIUkdt9">personality</a> or experience. A titular ruler is not confined to political leadership but can also reference any organization, such as a <a href="/facts/Corporation/hykSVoWJ">corporation</a>. </p>
