Teamwork: Essential to Business Growth

Teamwork can be defined as the collaborative effort of a group to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. A team is made up of 2 or more members working together to complete said task.

Teamwork is one of the power principles at Thompson Electric, and the reason for this is simple: we can’t wire buildings without it. There is no one person on our team that could effectively do all the steps it takes to do even the simplest job. We MUST have each other to succeed.

One of the most important parts of teamwork is open communication to avoid conflicts. If someone on your team does something that you feel is wrong, or negatively effects the whole team, it is important that you RESPECTFULLY talk to them about it. Keeping these things to yourself does no one any good and as a matter of fact it actually can cause harm to the team dynamic. It is important to express your opinions in a respectful way to your coworkers, including your superiors.

This is one way Thompson Electric strives to work more effectively as a team to accomplish our mission to be the most respected and profitable contractor in Tennessee.
