'There are some things about leadership that we cannot change, no matter how hard we try. They are the immutable laws of leadership, forming the backbone of any successful foray into this honorable vocation. Live by them, build on them, and lead by them, and you give yourself a fighting chance. Defy them, manipulate them, or ignore them, and the deck will be stacked against you.

'By Brian Layer , Chair, Organizational Development, N2growth. Hello is one of those words where a change in pitch changes definition.
