Scott started his career working for the Disney company and is the first person to tell you that he got fired. He sees that as a big learning experience amongst many in his career and claims that for every failure, he has learned what not to do going forward. For the past 23 years, he has worked in 7 different roles within the FranklinCovey organization, growing and developing his leadership talents as he helped others to hone their skills as well. Scott is a look-forward kind of person and points to his family and faith as the strongholds of his character. He recently co-authored a new book, Everyone Deserves a Great Manager: The Six Critical Practices for Leading a Team, published by Simon Schuster in October 2019.
