Ted Fick
Building a More Productive Team
Ted Fick has executed successful, multimillion-dollar
company transformations throughout his career, including as
CEO of Port of Seattle (2014-2017) and President/CEO at Polar
Corporation (2009-2013).
But as a proven senior executive and innovator, Fick knows
that none of those turnarounds would have been possible
without the right level of support, particularly the work and
achievements of teams sharing and striving toward
organizational goals every day.
As Ted Fick knows, putting together the high-performance
team capable of turning a company around must involve:
Delegating tasks and holding individuals responsible for
their unique roles in getting the job done is key to limiting
production problems along the way.
Accountability
Team members must feel as though their opinions not only
matter, but can also be exchanged freely and without fear of
reprisal.
Collaboration and open communication
Looking over people’s shoulders every minute is
counterproductive and only serves to fuel distrust.
The absence of micromanagement
