The importance and potential of teamwork was instilled in Ted Fick at an early age; an idea that made a real, lasting impression on Fick that guides his actions and philosophy as a leader to this day.
“We used to talk a lot at the dinner table, where Dad shaped how I think, what I value,” said Ted Fick of his father during 2014 Q&A with Seattle Business Magazine. Ted Fick believed in staying focused on what matters and he believed that what gets measured gets done. My biggest takeaway from growing up in the business was that teams are powerful, and can accomplish more than individuals.”
Ted Fick, a longtime leader and innovator in the business community, has taken the lessons of his father to heart throughout his career. A self-described “team-builder” adept at developing talent and enabling successful, high-performance teams wherever he goes, Fick has always recognized the value and power in a team-oriented environment; one where the collaboration of multiple individuals is not only fostered and encouraged, but that enables the achievement of goals and results that far exceed conventional expectations.
