Leadership Development Program

The system integration industry has unique project management and leadership requirements. However, smaller integrator companies often lack the capacity to adequately identify and train high-potential project or technical managers who may be best suited for future leadership roles within their organizations. These individuals are frequently promoted to leadership roles without the specific training needed, which can lead to frustration and an inability to succeed.

NEW IN 2025!! The Exotek Leadership Development Program helps emerging leaders master essential skills for career advancement and organizational success.

Through a comprehensive modular approach, leadership and industry experts provide guided instruction, recommended educational materials, peer-to-peer learning, and practical application. Participants hone core job-related competencies (hard skills) and professional competencies (soft skills) impacting their current work to prepare them for their next role.

We’ve been working with Exotek on improving the performance of our leadership team. While some were skeptical of the Myers Brigg Type Indicator Personality Assessment (MBTI) at first, we were surprised at how accurately we were able to understand our personal strengths and blind spots. Exotek had extensive experience in using MBTI for leader empowerment and has worked to customize the approach to resonate with us engineers.  Working with Exotek on empowering our leaders has helped us gain new insights on strengthening our team’s communication, and understanding how we can leverage each other’s strengths and support each other’s blind spots. It has even helped us with our client communications.

For the past two years, I have been fortunate to collaborate with Don Roberts as my mentor. What I appreciate most about our partnership is his skill in revealing perspectives I might overlook, challenging my thought process, and ensuring my commitment to shaping and implementing my personal VTO. Leveraging his vast experience, an exceptional team, and an extensive network of like-minded professionals, he has facilitated swift progress in both my career and personal development.

To gather and organize information, we are utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. With 3.5 million assessments conducted annually, it is generally considered the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world.
