Colleagues describe him as "I was hired on contract through DEAN Group by Ross Johnson to assist with the net-new hiring in the Cooperative Education and Career Action Department at the University of Waterloo. I not only had the chance to experience the largest re-organization in UWaterloo’s history, I also saw first-hand how Ross managed his department and employees with respect, grace and professionalism. This was a very stressful time and I never saw Ross waiver from the task at hand. He had an open door policy and always welcomed impute, suggestions and ideas with enthusiasm. I can confidently say he has been one of the most influential managers and mentors I have had the pleasure of working for and with during my career to date." and "I had the pleasure of working with Ross when we appointed him to head up the Training and Development of all Bank staff within BBG. In this period Ross deployed his excellent man managemnt/relationship skills learnt in his time as an Area Manager to build a coherent Training and Development architecture for the new Retail banking channel which was emerging from the successful float of BBG on the stockmarket. Ross re-engineered the Training and Development design and delivery approach bringing much needed consistency and focus on leading best/next practice which was instrumental in bringing significant uplifts in both efficiency and effectiveness in the brnach network . Ross's focus on getting things done in the right way through his people set him aside from many and allied to his work ethic and strong desire to meet/exceed any benchmarks set meant he was a key part of the wider BBG T&D teams."
