☆ Taco Bell CEO says avoiding this mistake sets successful people apart from most: You have to ask the 'right questions'
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant credits his leadership success, at least partially, to one piece of advice: "Don't try to be a black belt in everything." "Be a black belt in marketing, and be a brown belt in everything else," Tresvant, who previously held marketing executive roles at Taco Bell, Nike and Sports Illustrated, told LinkedIn's "This is Working" podcast last week. Tresvant received that advice in January upon becoming CEO of Taco Bell — which is owned by fast food giant Yum! Instead of believing he has all the answers, he tries to ask the "right questions" to team members who have expertise that he doesn't, he noted. "I understand I'm not a CFO, but I have a great CFO who can lead the [financial side of the] business."

Taco Bell CMO Taylor Montgomery told BI that he eats at the chain "every other day." CEO Sean Tresvant told BI he eats at Taco Bell three to four times a week. The chain's CMO sat down with Business Insider at Live Más LIVE, its first-ever superfan convention, and revealed he eats Taco Bell "every other day." He always opts for one beef and one chicken taco, as well as a bean burrito. While their go-to orders may vary, both Montgomery and Tresvant are huge fans of Taco Bell's Cantina chicken menu, which features five new dishes — the Cantina chicken burrito, the Cantina chicken taco (available soft or crispy), the Cantina chicken bowl, and the Cantina chicken quesadilla.
