The story of Lenovo is a story of triumph, humility, and dedication to change. Starting from its humble beginnings in the sparsely furnished guard shack in the outskirts of Beijing, Lenovo continues to grow and provide value to all people it serves with special dedication to the importance of its people.

This book is very inspirational. I can see the humility of this company and its never ceasing dedication to learn and to grow. It encountered several challenges such as the diversity issues post IBM PC acquisition; the challenges of integrating East and Western culture, and many more. What really strikes my attention was the willingness of its top executive, from Chairman down all the way to the front line level, to embrace changes as well as to learn. 

Right now, this company is in the right position to be truly recognized as a global brand. This book narrated the history of how they did it using the Lenovo Way.
