Description
THE LENOVO WAY
Managing a Diverse Global Company for Optimal Performance
Tech giant Lenovo’s blueprint for success has been 30 years in the making. Building on its history-making acquisition of IBM’s PC business in 2005, the company has become one of the world’s biggest and most powerful brands through a masterfully executed symphony of innovation, new acquisitions, expanding markets, and inventive branding. Lenovo Chairman & CEO Yang Yuanqing has been widely praised as one of the world’s best corporate leaders, while Lenovo, with $39Billion in revenu4e, is becoming a more recognized global consumer brand with every new product launch and sales milestone.
THE LENOVO WAY: Managing a Diverse Global Company for Optimal Performance (McGraw-Hill Professional; August, 2014) by two high-level female executives at Lenovo, reveals the principles behind the spectacular trajectory of the brand, and how to implement them to advance your own company’s success.
Co-authors Gina Qiao and Yolanda Conyers embody a true East-West collaboration, the kind of partnership of cultural diversity that has made Lenovo such a success. The story of their professional introduction, struggles and subsequent collaborations serves as a microcosm for Lenovo’s growth on the global stage: “By taking the time to listen, teach, and understand each other, our minds broadened and we became truly global leaders.”
These exemplary executives explore the company’s celebrated struggles and lessons: from building an iconic brand to streamlining supply chains to making the transition from a core business of PCs to a new business model including innovative tablets, smartphones, and servers.
THE LENOVO WAY relates the company’s successes to chess moves, requiring strategic thinking that operates several steps ahead of the curve. It offers lessons in collaboration, innovation, and long-term growth plans that will be valuable for anyone in a management position, anywhere in the world.

Advance Praise
“Lenovo is a truly global success by taking the best of East and West and creating an innovative global organization. In this book, the authors pull back the covers and give incredible insights into this fascinating organization of the future, sharing a blueprint that others can adapt to be a truly global organization.”
--Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan; author of HR Transformation and The Why of Work
“For years, ‘soft’ values like diversity were undervalued in the business world, which was more focused on bottom-line hard profits than on human resources. Through groundbreaking and innovative leadership, Lenovo has proven that soft values can lead to huge profits. The Lenovo Way shows how they did it—and how you can too.”
--Marshall Goldsmith, author of the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
