Stephen A. Miles Biography

Stephen A. Miles is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on November 28, 1967 in Nairobi, Nairobi, United States. Miles was born in Nairobi and lived a somewhat “nomadic” childhood in places such as South Africa, Iraq, Argentina and Canada. Driven by the study of human psychology, Miles received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (1991) from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario and a Masters in Psychology from the University of Victoria (1994).

In November 2010, Business Week magazine published a feature article on Miles, calling him the “rising star of CEO consulting” and “the CEO whisperer” and highlighting the successful work he has done in the area of CEO and executive coaching. Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe Systems has described Miles as “wicked smart,” while Marius Kloppers, CEO of BHP Billiton, has described him as “fearless in a soft but determined sense.”

Miles’ research centers on CEO succession and leadership. Using the 360 degree evaluation process, Miles has helped companies such as BHP Billiton, Nokia, Best Buy, and Adobe assess their internal leadership capacity and develop emerging leaders within each company. Miles was mentioned in a 2018 Business Week article as the executive coach of Snap, Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel, and is credited with helping Snap move from a “hub-and spoke” to a “distributed” model of leadership. Miles was featured in Fast Company’s 2020 article on the Most Innovative Company of the year, Snap, Inc., in which he recounts his work with CEO Evan Spiegel. Marshall Goldsmith, noted that Miles is “near the top, especially given his age, [and] probably has a broader knowledge base than [Goldsmith].”

Miles’ 2006 book, Riding Shotgun: The Role of the Chief Operating Officer, was featured in the Harvard Business Review as one of the first in-depth studies of the COO’s role within a corporation and how the role can successfully intersect with that of the CEO. He is a regular contributor to the Management Blog at Bloomberg Businessweek, and is quoted regularly about succession planning and leadership issues in the press.

Miles and Stanford University Graduate School of Business Professor David F. Larcker have collaborated on a Stanford Graduate School of Business case study on CEO succession planning, entitled “Multimillionaire Matchmaker.” In a 2010 research study, they found that 51% of companies could not name a CEO successor today, if needed. Miles and Larcker continued this thread of research in 2011, to examine whether active CEOs make the best board members. They found evidence to suggest that while active CEOs bring prestige to a board, they are often not the best choice because they are commonly too busy with their own businesses to be a fully effective director.
