For our Computronix employee interviews, we sit down with people from all levels of our company and ask them about their jobs, and what it’s like working for Computronix.
Computronix employees are constantly encouraged and given opportunities to learn and become better at their jobs, and even to move into new positions if they so desire. As part of this emphasis on professional development, the company offers several programs, courses and classes, such as the Emerging Leaders course.
Steven Shorey is a Tech Lead at Computronix, and during his first year with the company he took the Emerging Leaders course. He felt that, although he had been in a few different leadership positions previously, he’d never really been taught the “right way” to be a leader. He wanted to ensure that he was not only getting projects done but also maintaining healthy relationships with his co-workers in the process. In contrast to other companies he’s previously worked for, leadership at Computronix is “just helping somebody out and taking a vested interest in them.”
He found the Emerging Leaders course to be incredibly helpful and he was able to get a good picture of what is involved in being a leader at Computronix. He asserted that “the Emerging Leader course was very high-level and gave core concepts for how to be a leader.”
He said that he would definitely recommend the Emerging Leaders course to anyone, regardless of whether they hope to become a supervisor someday or not. He described the course as promoting and encouraging a lot of internal reflection and learning how to become more self-aware. As Steven explained it, “it’s something that anybody would benefit from. It’s a very solid personal investment, regardless of whether you want to be a supervisor at some point or not.”
