Lowe's Companies, Inc.’s Post

🌟 Passion and Purpose 🌟 Throughout my career journey, one thing has always remained constant: my unwavering passion for achieving goals and driving results. This innate drive has been the fuel that propels me forward, pushing me to overcome obstacles and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. One aspect of my professional journey that truly ignites my passion is the opportunity to turn around bad behavior and morale issues within teams. Instead of shying away from difficult situations, I embrace them as chances to make a positive impact. There is something incredibly rewarding about transforming negativity into a culture of collaboration, respect, and motivation: Its the results, yesterday we have one of the most higher metrics in the entire company Walmart . For me, it's not just about achieving results; it's about fostering an environment where individuals feel valued, empowered, and inspired to do their best work. By addressing morale issues head-on and implementing strategies to promote positivity and teamwork, I've witnessed remarkable transformations within our store. The satisfaction of seeing my team flourish under my guidance is what motivates me to continue on this career path. Every success story serves as validation of the importance of perseverance, empathy, and effective leadership. As I look ahead, I am excited about the prospect of continuing to pursue my passion for achieving goals and creating positive experiences in the workplace. With each new challenge, I am reminded of the incredible impact that dedication and determination can have on shaping a thriving and fulfilling career. Here's to embracing challenges, driving results, and making a difference every step of the way! 💪✨ #Passion #DriveResults #PositiveTransformation

Why Lowe’s is More Than Just a Workplace - It’s a Home to Possibility! From the moment I joined Lowe’s, I knew I had found more than just a job. I had found a community that truly lives by its core values. Integrity, customer focus, respect, and a drive to continuously improve aren't just words on a wall; they are principles that guide every decision and action here. These values align so closely with my own that it was a natural choice to make Lowe’s my home to possibility. But it didn’t stop there! My passion for Lowe’s culture has had a ripple effect - both of my sons, Dominic Scalese and Vincent Scalese, have chosen to build their careers here. Watching them grow from associates to Assistant Store Managers has been one of my proudest moments. With Dominic recently accepting his promotion to Assistant Store Manager, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where their journeys will take them next! If you’re ever in the Bel Air or Timonium, MD areas, be sure to stop by the Lowe’s stores there and say hi! You might just meet Dominic and Vincent, who are living proof that at Lowe’s, we’re not just building careers; we’re building futures rooted in values that matter. 🏡 Here’s to many more years of growth, opportunity, and family at Lowe’s! 💙 #Lowe’s #HomeToPossibility #CoreValues #CareerGrowth #FamilyBusiness #Lowescareers

Great article that conveys a big reason why I have stayed (and grown up!) with Walmart! Based on my resume, one may assume I am a millennial in that I have had a new role about every four years yet it has only been with Walmart, the opportunities are endless! One statement from the article sums it up well....."It is Walmart DNA to grow our next generation of frontline leaders and promote from within." How true this is! Right now, I am confident that our next generation of senior and executive leadership are already working here and we are growing them with the intent to pass along the torch of our culture to carry on to more future generations! Do you Strive for Excellence with Respect and Integrity every day and want to solve Big problems so that the world's largest retailer can continue to Serve Customers in the best way possible?? #ThisIsThatPlace #OurPeopleMakeTheDifference #LeadershipMatters #SolveBigProblems #GrowingBetterHumans #CultureEatsStrategyForBreakfast

Gratitude Post! Decades ago, A company was founded by Mr. Sam Walton with a vision to save people money so they can live better. This vision not only changed the lives of millions, but also created a culture that values its associates. I cherished my time with Walmart the most in my professional career and miss it the most too. Walmart's exceptional values have a lasting impact on its associates, making them better human beings. The four core values that Walmart stands for are respect, service, excellence, and integrity. These values are timeless and aligning our behaviors with them builds trust, creates the right environment for our teams, and generates success. #Respectforindividual is one value that makes you treat people with dignity and listen to each other. Embracing the differences in people, ideas, and experiences. These values are shown in the leadership very well and they lead by example. Would always be thankful to what I learned and gained their as an individual. #Walmart #CoreValues #Respect #Service #Excellence #Integrity #Success #Teamwork #gratitude

Leaders who have made a lasting impact on my life and career, Day 5. Shannon O'Brien. When you were Macy's Rosedale's Operations/Asset Protection manager, you were my manager as I went into a new area for myself. Having always been on the customer facing side of retail, going into my new position as Fulfillment OMNI Lead I was little out of my comfort zone. Something I learned about you right away is how strong of a leader you are. You tell someone to do something and they do it. You gain the respect of everyone working with you through strong command, but by also getting in there and doing the work yourself. You are not afraid to get your hands dirty and work right there with us. You would be out picking customer orders to ship, packing with us, and then running out to catch a shoplifter. After COVID you and I were some of the first people back into the store while the store stayed closed and we were only fulfilling orders to ship out. You made everyday great to be back at work. You have a great understanding of people. You keep a tight ship, but a friendly open door environment where everyone feels comfortable and confident in going to you for anything. There is no one I have worked with who has such a perfect balance of having a stern hard hitting conversation and displaying empathy, respect, and a safe place for colleagues as you. I'll always remember when mine and the receiving managers titles were changing from "Lead" to "Captain" and you ordered us each a captain hat to wear with our new titles 😂 You helped lead the store through so much change and you did it without it ever missing a beat. I admire you as a leader and as a human. Thank you, Shannon, for displaying strong integrity in everything you do. Thank you for leading through change. Thank you for being an amazing leader! #leadership #growth #career #motivation #inspiration

As the year winds down, I find myself reflecting on the journey we've navigated together. From the intricate pathways of supply chain management to the bustling aisles of Michaels Stores, it's been a year of resilience, learning, and growth. I stepped into the role of Operations Manager with a vision to drive operational excellence and create a seamless shopping experience. Thanks to a blend of #determination, #discipline, and a little bit of coffee, we've transformed challenges into opportunities and plans into actions. As we gear up for the new year, I'm reminded of the power of our collective efforts and the importance of staying #solution-focused. I'm grateful for the support, #insights, and #collaboration from each of you, my valued network. Here's to a holiday season filled with joy, rest, and perhaps a bit of crafty creativity (after all, working at Michaels Stores does rub off on you! 😉 ). May your holidays be as smooth as our most efficient supply chain and your new year as bright as our store's holiday decorations. 🎄 Happy Holidays! ❄ And remember, in the world of supply chain, Santa might just be the most legendary operations manager of all time! 🎅 #EndOfYearReflection #SupplyChainSuccess #HolidayCheers #OperationalExcellence #ResilienceAndRibbons

Many of us have either shopped at our heard of Macy’s but….. Do you know the story of the man behind it? I certainly didn’t and what an inspirational story! R. H. Macy is man who never gave up after each of his failures and his success came from his persistence. He tried 5 professions: Whaler Retailer Gold Miner Stockbroker Real estate Broker And 6 attempts at owning retail companies all of which had failed… Until his 7th attempt which we all know as Macy’s Department store. The POWER of Persistence: What keeps us going in the midst of adversity is having a strong sense of our purpose. It’s what fuels us to embody the power of persistence. —————————————————————— John C.

Roughly ten years ago, when my career started, the goals have always been 'for myself' - Promotions for me, lessons for me, increases for me. During the last 2 - 3 years, my thinking has changed dramatically, and with it, my life. The goals now are 'for them' - growth, promotions, learnings for my team. And through that, my own goals are not just being met, but exceeded! #leadershipgoals #retailleadership
