Instills Trust
Here at Thompson Thrift, instilling trust is as simple as having confidence in one another. When trust is present, team members can admit weaknesses and mistakes, ask for help, accept feedback, take risks, and give one another the benefit of the doubt. These are the essential ingredients for growth, progress, and innovation. As a company, we aim to embody this competency in every aspect of our business, internally and externally.
Communicates Effectively
We believe that effective communication is essential in all aspects of life. Whether you're speaking to a broad audience, small team, colleague, family, or friend, clarity is key to ensuring your message is being received and understood. Communicating effectively also includes the approach or the tone in which you communicate. Treating others with dignity and respect, attentive listening to questions, concerns and interests, and being open to new ideas or change, are all part of effective communication.
Drive Results
Driving results is a team effort. You are aligning with your team's goals, determining strategic action steps, holding yourself accountable, being honest with yourself and others, evaluating progress early on in the process, and often—all these actions are vital to driving results at Thompson Thrift.

Displaying curiosity at Thompson Thrift is actively learning through inquisitive actions and leveraging both successes and failures as opportunities for growth. There is a wide range of benefits for organizations, leaders, and team members that display curiosity—fewer errors, increased capacity to view tough situations more creatively, open team communication, and more.
