Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant, who previously held executive positions at Nike and Sports Illustrated, has challenged traditional leadership standards, saying it’s not necessary for a person to be good at everything. He said Fortune that managers should focus on their strengths and openly admit what they don’t know, rather than pretending to be experts in everything. “When I moved from brand director to CEO, some good advice was given to me: don’t try to be a black belt in everything. Be a black belt in marketing and a brown belt in everything else.” Mr. Tresvant revealed on LinkedIn podcast It works with Daniel Roth.

Mr. Tresvant further emphasized that effective leadership begins with self-awareness, followed by seeking advice from experts who can offer solutions. He acknowledged that recognizing his strengths and weaknesses helped him succeed in his new role. “That’s what I think helped me be successful early on because I don’t try to be everything, I understand I’m not a CFO, but I have a great CFO who can run the company,” he said.

He added that teams suffer when leaders “try to be all things to all people, be a little too micro and not empower their teams to lead.”

Mr. Tresvant joins a chorus of executives who believe their main job is to assemble exceptional talent and then step aside. One of them is Land O’Lakes CEO Beth Ford, who emphasizes the importance of humility in business success. Ford says putting ego aside is crucial because it allows leaders to recognize their limitations and ask for help when needed.

Meanwhile, Exelon CEO Calvin Butler advised surrounding yourself with talented individuals and embracing lifelong learning. “Always be a learner. Always surround yourself with people more talented and smarter than you and learn from them,” Mr. Butler said. Fortune.

Micromanagement ends up harming bosses in the long run, according to psychologist Mark Travers. “Too tight control undermines employee morale, leaving them powerless, while wasting the manager’s time and energy,” Mr. Travers wrote in Forbes.
