Listen Later

Today’s guest is David Gibbs, the CEO of Yum! Brands. That’s Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC and The Habit Burger Grill. And yes, it’s also my former job! David is doing some incredible things to continue to drive big growth at Yum! Brands. And as you’re about to hear, he has a unique mentality that helps him do it.


You see, David stepped into the role as CEO back in January of 2020 and was immediately faced with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. But throughout his career, when David has found himself in challenging situations, he looks for the opportunities. For the upside. For what’s positive. And if you’ve got that ability to reframe a situation, well, you’ve got the key to unlocking growth – for your business, for your team members, and for yourself too! 


When you listen to David, you can’t help but learn that you can inspire others and drive big growth when you flip the script in a tough situation. So here is my conversation with my good friend – and soon to be yours – David Gibbs.
