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?

This year at <a href="http://www.cvent.com/events/fmi-future-leaders-experience/event-summary-8287b0decbec4ed9b93d0705c12631d5.aspx">Future Leaders</a>, 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.
