you have any core recommendations for strategy reading? I know what you recommended to me a while ago but don’t know if that’s changed.
Gracias sir.

I concur with the comment that this is the best strategy book (and I’ve read many). Helmer takes potshots at his competition in the intro — and he’s fully justified to do so!
Perhaps my only follow up recommendation is Competing Against Time — Tim Cook’s fave book.

Woot! It’s a bit dry but it’s worth finishing — it is the full treatment of process power that is missing from 7 Powers. Cook used to assign it to subordinates in his time as operations head.

Lean really doesn’t have a discussion about the fun things you can do with pricing when you have process power. 🙃
“I’m going to increase my prices and you’re going to accept it because I deliver goods faster than the competition and you can keep lower inventory levels.”

Recommending one book turns into the requirement to buy three more I haven’t read.
