"Constructive conversations begin with a willingness to listen, because there is always something we can learn from other people. In both her work with Mastercard executives and [her new] book, Rose shows how listening and learning leads to respect, and how that respect leads to the kind of thoughtful and hard conversations that lead to progress."
"In the words of Rose Fass, leadership is messy. It's uncomfortable, exhilarating, and challenging. But let’s face it, you wouldn’t want it any other way. And like every great athlete, truly great leaders prepare, practice, learn and have two things: a plan and a coach.
That’s where Rose comes in! So if you are someone who hates the cheap seats, loves the game and gets up after every play…don’t go on the field without her."
"True leadership is about rallying your employees around a central mission, and inspiring them into action. The fact is that people don’t care what you know, until they know that you care. As a key strategic partner, Rose has been an integral part of our transformational journey to meet the rapidly changing needs of customers."
"Throughout my career, I tend to adopt wisdom from others very cautiously. Too many “thought leaders” offer clever but unproven advice. Rose Fass, however, is a precious exception, with guidance that comes from a career’s worth of success."
"Rose has been a trusted advisor and mentor to me for the last several years. She is uniquely gifted with deep leadership insights and an astute perspective on how organizations work. I always found her advice, grounded in integrity and with a very positive intent, to be thoughtful, insightful, pragmatic and highly actionable — in short, truly invaluable."
"[Rose], I wanted to thank you for your incredible coaching and friendship. It meant a lot to me. You are by far the best coach and female leader I had the pleasure to work with. A fantastic inspiration."
