Re-posting and Translation Rights

GeneralLeadership.com does not permit the re-posting of posts on other websites in their entirety. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. It often can’t tell which site hosts the original, so we risk getting penalized ourselves for granting permission….which we do not.

In addition, we don’t allow the translation and publication of our work in other languages. We simply don’t have the resources to validate the quality of the work.

Guest bloggers retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work, as they are the originators of their creative material. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. GeneralLeadership.com cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point.
