Episode #254 // We’re approached all the time to interview other thought leaders on this podcast. However, since No Bullsh!t Leadership is predominantly a solo cast, we reluctantly decline 99% of these requests.
But one email popped into our Inbox a few months ago, and we couldn’t resist it: Scott Jeffrey Miller is a speaker, author, and podcaster (sounds familiar, I know!)
What’s different about Scott is that he’s worked for over 25 years with FranklinCovey, the legendary company started by Stephen Covey, which has not one, but three seminal works to draw upon:
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
- The Speed of Trust, and
- The 4 Disciplines of Execution (one of my favorites).
Scott has worked with these original thought leaders for decades, and as host of FranklinCovey’s On Leadership podcast, he’s had access to some of the best-known and highest-profile leaders on the planet.
In today’s interview, I drill into Scott’s deep learning, asking him what it’s like to interview the biggest names in business; his experience of writing best-selling books; and what’s in store for the future of leadership.

Moment #24: The Risks Of Office Romances
Moment #24 // As a leader, how do you set appropriate boundaries in your work relationships? How do you strike the balance between establishing trust-based, caring relationships with your people, and maintaining professional distance?
The social pendulum has really swung in the last 3-5 years. Organizations are increasingly seeking to impose themselves in the personal decisions of their people. As a leader, you need to be hyper-vigilant about how these shifting dynamics can potentially affect your career.
Your role is to set the tone, the pace and the standard for your people, and being in a workplace relationship makes that so much more difficult.
You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.14: Friendly, Not Friends.

Moment #25: Why Management Teams Become Stale
Moment #25 // High-performance is fragile. Teams can lose their lustre for a whole range of reasons, and leading a team of high performers can be incredibly challenging.
The best teams push each other pretty hard, and it can be difficult to maintain constructive tension, without it boiling over into acrimony.
And, yes, sometimes your people just stop listening to you. Over time, familiarity breeds contempt, and the downside of consistency (a much sought-after leadership characteristic) is predictability.
You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.99: Don't Play One Season Too Many.
