OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Grant Hill

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Grant Hill earns The Navigator through a career defined by disciplined recalibration under duress. When his weapons diminished, he studied how to add value, reinventing himself from All-Star ball-handler to defensive specialist in Phoenix rather than clinging to a fading identity. That same course-correcting intelligence carried him into NBA ownership with the Atlanta Hawks. His candor about suppressing injury trauma reveals a leader who charts turbulent terrain with self-awareness, never mistaking motion for direction.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY NAVIGATOR

I realized that as a parent now too, no matter how much money, no matter how many connections, you can't teach hunger and you can't make it for your children. In sports it's the ultimate meritocracy.

ON PROVING HIMSELF INDEPENDENTLY

I went from having a ball in my hands my whole career — now I'm standing in the corner trying to be this guy. You figure out how to add value. That's what I had to do.

ON REINVENTING HIS ROLE IN PHOENIX

I can look at our team and tell exactly what's going on. I can say this guy's shooting too much, something's going on — because you lived it.
