Published: Oct. 17, 2022, 8 a.m.

Ted is a self-described geek who takes great pride and joy in making other geeks into bigger and better (and hopefully more highly rewarded) geeks. Having recently stepped into a management role, Ted has been looking for more and more ways to leverage his skills as a \u201cforce multiplier\u201d across his entire team to not only better the team itself \u2014 but the entire organization as a whole.
