Calgary's Top Manager

We’re excited to announce the return of Calgary’s Top Manager Contest!

Keeping with our thoughts that people aren’t really quitting their jobs…they are quitting their managers, we’re back to find and celebrate the unsung heroes of the workplace.

We want to recognize the exceptional leaders who make an impact everyday on the team they motivate and the organization they work for. If there was an opportunity for growth, a good manager would develop it. If there was an opportunity for fun, a good manager would create it. If there was a good opportunity for communication, a good manager would do it.

So here is YOUR chance to celebrate them and showcase what the best and the brightest are doing to transform the workplace.

Nominations open Monday April 8, 2013 and close Monday May 6, 2013 12PM
