The Leadership Chronicle reserves the right to edit, format, trim, or adjust submitted content in line with our editorial standards prior to or following publication.

These terms apply to all individuals, executives, and agencies who submit content for publication on The Leadership Chronicle.

5.1 Originality and Accuracy — All submitted content must be original and must not have been previously published elsewhere in substantially the same form. Contributors are responsible for the accuracy of the information, claims, statistics, and assertions contained in their submissions.

All commercial arrangements are subject to a separate written agreement between the relevant party and The Leadership Chronicle.
