Mattel’s New CEO: What a San Diego Business Can Learn from a Toymaker

What lessons can a San Diego business draw from the famous California-based toymaker Mattel?  Mattel has named Christopher Sinclair as its permanent CEO (previously serving as interim CEO).  While Mr. Sinclair has served on Mattels board since 1996, it is his experience with Pepsico, Quality Foods Inc. and other successful businesses that will inform his tenure as CEO of Mattel.  So what does that have to do with business here in San Diego?

Every company faces challenges along the way, and in some cases these headwinds can threaten the very survival of your company.  Experience is often the best answer to meet the challenge.  Outside experience.  Entrepreneurs and company owners must take stock in their own skill set and business expertise.  It is not possible for one human being to be an expert in every area of business: from sales to production to finance to management to logistics to HR.  Often, the best solution to a serious business problem is an outside perspective.
