Nomination Form: Five-Star Manager Spotlight

Know a leader that people love working for?

At The Thirlby Company, we recognize managers who lead with heart, clarity, and courage, and make a real difference on their teams. We’re looking for managers who don’t just manage — they lead people in a way that makes work feel like a place where others belong, grow, and thrive.

Five-Star Managers are leaders who:

Model Emotional Intelligence
They lead with self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation.

Build Belonging
They create environments where team members feel safe to speak up, be themselves, and take risks.

Coach for Growth
They inspire and guide team members to achieve their potential

Practice Empathetic Accountability
They set clear expectations, have brave conversations, and hold others accountable with understanding and care

Celebrate Wins
They recognize and celebrate wins to enhance performance and contributions.

If you or someone you know has ever said, “I’d follow them anywhere,” that’s the leader we want to hear about. Complete the nomination form below.
