Off the Wire: On Leadership

For 49 seasons over more than seven years, FranklinCovey's On Leadership podcast has featured in-depth conversations with top leadership thinkers, including bestselling authors, researchers, executives, and TED speakers. During the series, host Will Houghteling—and his predecessor, Scott Miller—has tackled the real-world challenges of building resilient organizational cultures, cultivating trust, and driving breakthrough results.

Each episode delves into practical leadership strategies. For example, Kim Scott, author of Radical Respect, provides guidance on balancing radical candor with genuine care, while Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, explores resilience.

The podcast delivers actionable frameworks and research-driven best practices to enhance leadership pipelines. Guests such as Tim Ferriss, entrepreneur and investor; Venki Ramakrishnan, structural biologist; and Gregory Walton, Stanford University professor and codirector of the Dweck-Walton Lab, bring evidence-based insights on performance, well-being, communication, and longevity.

Whether exploring feedback cultures, emotional intelligence, or team dynamics, listeners can easily translate each dialogue into workshops, coaching sessions, and talent initiatives.
