Aim high... we have a platform to change the world of application management and business intelligence.

Great product with a great sales team. Still experiencing rapid growth even though the scale of the business is significant. Large market opportunity to execute into, with the backing and resources of Cisco behind us. Opportunity for many integrations with Cisco products, creating a unique set of solutions for markets and customers. Opportunity to be a driving force in Cisco's transition to a software company.

Keep on truckin'

talk to your employees/teams and communicate any changes you foresee, especially if it could affect them, instead of "surprise, this person left and now we're going to do this," just be as transparent and honest as possible

...that is growing far faster than the competition.

Keep up the transparency! Your willingness to take on literally any question (including personal ones) shows your earnestness to be open to the employees.
