Lead In 30 Podcast

You want to get promoted. You want to be invited to the higher-level meetings. You want to make more money. You want to scale your career faster. How do you make that happen? In this episode of the Lead In 30 podcast, Lone Rock Leadership Co-founder Russ Hill shares three critical moves to unlock the career advancement you're seeking for yourself.
• Own your narrative by building a consistent story of impact and articulating how your work connects to strategic priorities
• Define what makes you different from others with your title and identify gaps in your professional story that need development
• Think like an owner by considering yourself responsible for the entire business, not just your department
• Make your boss's job easier by anticipating problems, reducing surprises, and removing friction in the system
• Always come to meetings prepared with potential solutions, not just problems
• Focus relentlessly on high-leverage activities that genuinely move the needle for the business
• Be visible by offering ideas, challenging the status quo respectfully, and taking on additional projects
• Expand your contribution before seeking to expand your role, title or compensation
• Focus visibility efforts close to customers and revenue-generating activities
• Determine which of these three areas requires your immediate attention for career growth
