Foster Peak Performance in the Food Retail Industry

By: Laurie Gethin, Director, Education, Food Marketing Institute  

By now, you’ve probably heard the question, “Is the food retail industry facing a grocery revolution or evolution?”  In today’s ever-changing workplace, it’s imperative to offer rising industry employees the opportunity to step back from their daily routines and hone the skills that will be required as they take over leadership posts in their stores, their companies, and their industry.

This year at Future Leaders, industry leaders will find their collaborative spirit through four experiences focused on Peak Performance, Storytelling, Building Teams, and Industry Trends. With Peak Performance as a focal point, participants will gain the tools that will enable them to demonstrate peak performance, and then inspire it in their teams. As an industry, we rely on measuring peak performance through the traditional means of productivity, tactics, and sales, but what if you could reach peak performance in employees through providing a variety of professional and personal experiences, and cultivating a workplace that encourages and emboldens others?

FMI’s Vice President of Industry Relations, Private Brands, Technology, Doug Baker, discusses peak performance through the value of mentorship in the food retail industry. Watch here!
