Consistent Communication, Real Accountability With six concurrent projects in various stages of development, keeping everything on track requires active communication. Leaf and Electric Plus maintain regular weekly check-ins — even when a given week produces nothing more than a brief confirmation that things are on course. That cadence of consistent, low-friction communication has been instrumental in keeping projects moving and catching issues early. The Working Relationship "The collaboration and communication has been great. We've had standard weekly meetings just to talk about how the projects are going. It's nice to have that communication even if it's only a 10-minute phone call when nothing has changed." — Tim Wicker , President Electric Plus recently made a significant strategic move: becoming an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company. With 800 employee-owners now sharing in the company's success, the incentive to find efficiencies, eliminate waste, and identify better ways of working has never been stronger. Every improvement in profitability goes directly to the team's bottom line — and their retirement. Tim sees the ESOP transition as a catalyst for the kind of grassroots improvement culture that partnerships like the one with Leaf are built to support. When an employee identifies an inefficiency or suggests a tool that could make the business run better, they're not doing it for management — they're doing it for themselves and their colleagues. With a strong construction market in Indianapolis and growing presence across Indiana, Electric Plus is well-positioned for continued expansion. The operational improvements delivered through the Leaf partnership — and those still in progress — are laying the groundwork for a company that can scale without the friction that once slowed it down. Looking Ahead: ESOP, and a Culture of Ownership
"If Joe Smith decides to find a better way, or helps us find a partner like Leaf that can make us more profitable — it goes straight to their bottom line. It's not just Tim or the man. It's affecting each one of them and their pocketbook at the end of the day and their retirement." — Tim Wicker , President
