Retailers and brands are swinging attention back to brick-and-mortar and investing in employee training, development, and perks to stay competitive. Despite these efforts, many organizations still don’t have the bandwidth to fully optimize worker productivity and performance. Others have attempted to cost-cut their way to profitability, leaving retail workers on the lurch.

Brian Librach is a passionate advocate for empowering future retail leaders to seize control of their careers and reach their full potential. His upcoming book, “The Retail Leader’s Roadmap,” slated for release next month, is brimming with tips and tools designed to help the next generation of retail stars honestly assess opportunities and take decisive action when it counts. Brian shares insights garnered from his retail career ascent, culminating in executive roles at Urban Outfitters and Pacific Sunwear, and more recently, overseeing international stores in Canada for Old Navy.
