Background

About George Bower

I have been in leadership for most of my career. I have lead teams as small as 10-15 employees to upward of 150. I lead with a servant leadership style. I have a very keen sense and ability of how to utilize my teams’ specific abilities and individual talents to the achieve the highest of goals. I believe that leadership transparency and timely, accurate, and consistent communication are the biggest keys to my success as a leader. Assessing my team for the next leaders of my department or for the company is something I do on a very regular basis. Teaching and sharing knowledge. Constantly challenging my team and myself to grow and learn. I currently lead the Inventory Control Quality Assurance department with Nordstrom Distribution Center 799 in Gainesville, Fl. Through observation, data collection, and close collaboration with our Logistics Operations leaders, my team and I were able to implement a new pallet/inventory location system. This system has created a more precise “one good way” source to locate items and pallets as they move throughout the building. With this system in place my team and I have positively shifted our building inventory and manifest accuracy by 10 percent in a very short time frame. Under my leadership we also have accomplished the implementation of our Quality Control auditing processes. With specific focus on the Outbound logistics accuracy and product quality to our customers. Since implementing this program two years ago, we were able to successfully increase our overall building quality and customer satisfaction by 5 percent.
