'By Ali Behnam, co-founder of Riviera Partners. The new hire process, particularly at the executive level, is a significant decision and can be quite involved.

'As Amy and I get to the end of Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica, I’m noticing more and more management and leadership lessons. Oh – and it’s awesome SciFi. In my experience, it’s a challenge for CEOs and management teams to get focused on a small set of numbers that drive behavior. I talked about this in my post Three Magic Numbers.

'My friend Japjot Sethi (founder and CEO of Gloopt ) and I had an opportunity to record these 7 insights at Guy Kawasaki ‘s residence a few months ago.

This is going to be BIG.

'At some point in the life cycle of any successful company, it will have to abandon what made it successful in the first place. In the search for growth, the original customer, the initial wedge entry point, the early adopter will, by definition, will have to be left behind for the larger and more mainstream market opportunity.
