¶ … company manager, I have an opportunity to see a lot of different people come and go. I can observe them and see how they interact with each other, with customers, and with their superiors. This is important, because it shows whether a person is capable of handling the pressures of management. Not everyone is able to do this, but there are occasionally outstanding people who bring something very important to the table. One of these is John. He is an outstanding individual, and he will make a very good manager, for several reasons. The skills that he has in working with other people - both superiors and subordinates - are unparalleled, and his bi-lingual abilities only further enforce his flexibility in addressing problems and finding solutions where employees, business partners, and contract workers are concerned. He is able to understand and relate to diversity, and that helps him to focus his time and talents on and business while not ignoring that business' greatest asset - the talents, desires, goals, and abilities of the people who work there.
In addition to this, John is also capable of understanding the workings of the business world. He easily comprehends payroll issues, globalization, and other issues that businesses are facing now and will likely continue to face in the future. I have also seen instances of his ability to think outside of what is normally planned or expected, and this helps him to solve complex problems and get things done. He knows how to be a team player, as well, and can either take the lead or defer to others' ideas. During our conversations and over the course of working together, he has indicated to me many times his desire to obtain an MBA degree with a General Management emphasis, and I can think of no one better to pursue this kind of goal. Because he has so much dedication to business, and because he has so much dedication to other people, he would be a fine asset to any MBA program and to any company that he would work for in the future.
