    Leadership

    Leadership is the ability to learn, turn the page and look forward to a new journey!

    That's the definition of "ready to move on", not "leadership".

    Pretty easy mistake to make these days though...

    Err...

    Quitting over 'strategic disagreements' implies there is a strategy to disagree about.

    The customer I currently work for employs Lenovo for their laptop needs. Apart from riddling new machines with bloatware and general excrement that has no place on a business system I fail to detect any strategy concerning product development, support, warranty or customer service.

    Might one inquire what strategy they were actually disagreeing about ?

    'Cost Saving' is in itself not a strategy. Nor is moving manufacturing around a strategy for said cost saving.

      Quite so. Lenovo has really disqualified themselves with their factory-default malware. Add to that the complete failure in usable laptop design of anything made by them in the last decade. Heck, no wonder Dell is everywhere, they make decent workhorses instead of experimental crap that doesn't work.
