Marvin doesn't have a strategy. ALL of the decisions he has made since he was appointed were discussed under the previous leadership - the only difference is he has made the decision as opposed to talking about what decision to make. Marvin, an out and out operator, will lead by fear and drive results (if you don't get the results, you will be let go) and someone will be put in your place.
If you have not worked at Home Depot, Sears or Target, they are not interested in talking to you. Promotions for those that have been at Lowe's a long time have ceased and promises of investment are being reigned back in because they are beginning to realize that going back to retail fundamentals is not as easy as when all the executives did it 10+ years ago. Retail has evolved since then!
It will be interesting to see what pieces of a great company are left when Marvin is let go because he can't get the stock price to the level that he is being asked to by activist investors and his buddy who invested.
