1. To Whom It May Concern –
I had the pleasure to get to know and work with Andres Barrientos
Sutherland over the course of the last almost two years. Andres, along with
13 co-workers at the BCD Travel Multinational Service Center in San Jose,
CR, participated in a leadership development program that I organized and
facilitated. The program provided those individuals new to leadership roles
with the company the opportunity to learn basic fundamental leadership
skills and behaviours we deemed essential for those roles. During the
course of the program, Andres’ level of participation reflected his dedication
and commitment to strive for the milestones we set for reaching our intended
goals.
Based on my observations in each workshop and the results of the varied
projects he completed, Andres cared for those on his team whom he led. He
sought to understand their individual strengths and worked with each
individual to determine his/her own motivations. During the course of the
program, Andres often times led discussions on concepts and inspired those
on his project groups. My individual one-on-one time with Andres always
made me feel that he took our course material to heart and he appeared
never to waiver from attempting to put the skills to practical use.
Andres’ work behaviors tend to reflect his motivation of a results-driven
environment; He is factual and makes practical decisions as long as
information is presented to him in a clear and concise manner. If the
position for which Andres is applying calls for someone who is self-
motivated, detailed, and a dynamic leader who speaks with authority, then I
would urge you to consider Andres’ talents very seriously.
