I simply need a generic recommendation letter that states I was a great "Senior IT Project Manager" and especially a great "Leader". The school I'm applying to says they are looking for Leaders so it's important to convince them with this letter. My boss says he wants me to present him with a letter that makes it sound like I'm the greatest person ever, and then he'll edit it to tone it down as he feels necessary. Neither he nor I feel the need to customize it specifically to me or to the work I've done. The manager thinks I'm great and strongly feels I deserve to get into this MBA graduate program.
Here are the qualities the school said they are looking for:
- Leadership
- Overall Intellectual Ability
- Overall Imaginative/Creative Ability
- Knowledge in Chosen Field
- Motivation – Perseverance – Commitment
- Verbal Communication in English- Written Communication in English
- Analytical Ability- Initiative
- Ability to Work Independently
- Ability to Work as a Team Member
- Maturity and Stability
