Tech firm, behind former U.S. Army captain, launches leadership program

Fast-growing Manatee County real estate technology company PropLogix has taken a big step toward putting a dent into one the region’s looming issues: attracting and retaining top employees.

Its answer? An internal leadership program run by a former U.S. Army captain who oversaw logistics in the military, among other duties. The first class of employees, a group of eight, recently graduated from the 16-week course of biweekly sessions. PropLogix Director of Operations Chad Burlingame, a onetime executive with KB Home and COO at Arthur Rutenberg Homes in Clearwater, is at the helm of the leadership program.
