John Rose is a trusted advisor to leaders navigating the complex challenges of leadership succession and cultural transformation. Drawing on decades of experience building high-performance teams and award-winning workplaces, John now works closely with CEOs and leadership teams across Canada to ensure the continuity, clarity, and character of their organizations.
At the heart of his approach is The Culture Audit®, a practical and proven framework John developed to help organizations uncover the truth about their current culture—and take purposeful steps toward the one they need. It’s not about ping pong tables or mission statements on the wall. It’s about alignment. It’s about leadership. And it’s about results.
John’s work is grounded in the principle that “Leaders create culture, and culture creates results.” He offers workshops and keynotes that are anything but conventional—engaging, story-driven sessions that introduce The Five Leadership Commitments™, a roadmap for those who want to move beyond performance and into significance.
John speaks from experience. As former CEO of Nuheat Industries, he led the company from humble beginnings to becoming North America’s industry leader in radiant floor heating—earning a decade of Canada’s Best Managed Company awards and recognition for diversity, culture, and innovation. His leadership style blends clarity with curiosity, high standards with humour, and always a belief that there is more in you to give.
If your organization is at a crossroads—between generations, strategies, or cultures—John helps leaders see not just what’s next, but what matters most.
