Russ Hill

Russ discovered this breakthrough approach after experiencing his own leadership failure—being ranked the lowest-performing leader in his company. Rather than accept mediocrity, he immersed himself in intensive development at Gallup and Wharton, ultimately rising to oversee national media operations. This personal transformation revealed a critical insight: most leadership training focuses on soft skills instead of business outcomes, which is why 75% of organizations rate their programs as ineffective.

His methodology was tested and refined through nearly a decade of executive consulting across 14 countries, where he delivered culture transformation projects that moved the needle on actual business metrics. At Spectrum Association Management, he helped scale operations from a family startup to managing 900+ communities. At Bonneville International, he turned around underperforming media brands by focusing on the one thing that matters: changing how leaders think and act to accelerate results.

As Co-Founder of Lone Rock Leadership, Russ specializes in fixing what's broken about leadership development. His Lead In 30 methodology abandons traditional classroom lectures for practical, results-driven sessions that help leaders master creating clarity around what matters most, building genuine alignment, and generating movement by rewriting the mental scripts that derail performance.

Russ is author of The Great Resignation, Remoteability, and Decide to Lead, and hosts The Lead In 30 Podcast.

Russ Hill solves the $400 billion leadership training problem by transforming underperforming leaders into executives who deliver measurable business results. As Co-Founder of Lone Rock Leadership and creator of the LeaderOS framework, he has helped Fortune 100 executives at Amazon, Walmart, General Motors, and Lockheed Martin become "3rd Leaders" who create Clarity, Alignment, and Movement—the only three competencies that actually drive organizational performance.
