“I saw John come into a business in disorder and turn it around, give the Business and its people purpose, structure and leadership. John was the pivot that took a commercially non-sustainable business in an emerging and socio-economical challenged market and turned it into a highly successful, profitable, respected and sustainable player.”
(Ronald Nothnagel – Director, Global Engineering Consultancy – South Africa)
“His (John’s) ethics are of the highest integrity and his grasp and understanding and business acumen has a depth not commonly seen today. He also possesses a gift for analysis of complex situations coupled with a very preventative mindset.” (Rick Gonsalves – Asia Pacific Account Director, Multinational - Australia)
“Turning a struggling, dispirited organisation into a high performance focussed and motivated team is a challenge beyond the scope of many especially in difficult times. John has demonstrated this unique set of leadership skills and drive in a number of organisations, instilling a sense of purpose, creating a passion for excellence, implementing systems and process that support continuous improvement and build a united commitment to achieving great results.”
(Theo van Rooyen – Founder of People Support – South Africa)
“John is an excellent change manager and strategic thinker. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo and drive positive change within the organisation. His leadership brought stability and direction within the entire Southern African entity which not only had a cultural change effect but brought a level of talent retention and ownership and commitment from his direct reports and further down the organisation”
(Neil Cameron – General Manager & Managing Director South Africa – Multinational Subsidiary)
“Seeing John in action in building a common sense of purpose and focus is an inspiration to any leader. Uniting the leadership and staff around a common set of values - not merely displayed on notice boards and company newsletters but lived out in day to day action and commitment takes special wisdom and personal devotion”.
(Theo van Rooyen – Founder of People Support – South Africa)
“John has an incredible ability to make people want to take ownership of what they do (and accountability), to guide people through the process of actually dealing with an issue, and to help people to see the bigger picture of what they are doing and the importance of looking at their role as part of the greater business as a whole”.
(Sarah Cuthbert – HR Manager – Global Outsourcing Company - Australia)
