Leadership Excellence Award Nomination Form

Recognize Exceptional Leadership with a Structured Nomination Process

Leadership excellence doesn't happen by accident—it's built through vision, mentorship, and tangible results. This Leadership Excellence Award Nomination Form gives your organization a professional framework to identify, evaluate, and celebrate leaders who truly make a difference.

Why This Template Works for Modern Organizations

Whether you're in HR, managing a growing team, or running an employee recognition program, this template streamlines the entire nomination process. Instead of vague "employee of the month" submissions, you'll gather structured 360-degree feedback that captures leadership impact from multiple perspectives—peers, direct reports, and cross-functional collaborators.

The form guides nominators through specific achievement categories including team development, strategic initiatives, innovation, and cultural contribution. You'll collect quantifiable metrics like team growth percentages, retention improvements, and project outcomes alongside qualitative examples that bring those numbers to life.

Built for HR Teams and People Operations

This template is ideal for:

• HR managers running annual awards programs or quarterly recognition cycles
• People operations teams tracking leadership development and succession planning
• Executives and managers gathering comprehensive feedback for promotion decisions
• Small to medium businesses building formal recognition programs that scale

Seamless Integration with Your Workflow

Once submitted, nomination data flows directly into your preferred tools via Paperform's native integrations. Send nominations to your HRIS, create Slack notifications for review committees, or log everything in Airtable for comparative analysis. For more complex workflows—like multi-stage review processes or automated scoring—connect this form to Stepper to route nominations through approval chains, schedule review meetings, and notify winners automatically.

Professional, Engaging and On-Brand

Unlike rigid survey tools, Paperform lets you design this nomination form to match your company culture and brand identity. Choose fonts, colors, and layouts that reflect whether your organization is corporate and formal or creative and relaxed. The form experience itself becomes part of your employer brand, showing that you take recognition seriously.

Start celebrating the leaders who drive your organization forward with a nomination process that's as thoughtful as the people you're recognizing.
