Book Reviews

Reed Hastings: "The forces of competition are just incredibly strong. Everyone is trying to eat your lunch, and if you don’t read 7 Powers you’re going to die a lot sooner."

Peter Thiel: "Hamilton Helmer understands that strategy starts with invention. He can't tell you what to invent, but he can and does show what it takes for a new invention to become a valuable business"

Patrick Collison: "Correctly places enormous value on execution and on culture. However, I think this sometimes leads to insufficient importance being placed on strategy.

Hamilton Helmer's deeply incisive work will hopefully help correct that"

Daniel Ek: "Hamilton Helmer is the best kind of big thinker – he offers great insights that you can turn into real world action.

At Spotify the 7 Powers are widely used as we discuss new initiatives.

His distillation of the key types of strategic power, how to find them, how to leverage them, and how to maintain them is a fantastic toolset for companies at every stage.”
