“I want to nominate John due to his exceptional support and motivation towards my colleagues and myself. John is the example of how a competent manager should be - he never fails to support and guide those around him and it’s always a pleasure to work with him and have him around. Personally, I believe it’s very important for a manager to assist with employee development and growth and he’s the perfect example of this.

He motivated me to apply for new positions and I would not have achieved so much in such a short period of time if it wasn’t for his encouraging and supportive words.
